2 Topology Manager™

2.1 Introduction

Topology Manager™ is the module group where we can create, import/export and edit network topology and its parameters. The following module groups are included:

Topology Graphical View

Network Topology Explorer

Network Topology History

Network Topology Configuration

2.2 Topology Graphical View

2.2.1 Create a new topology

Before you create or edit a new topology, check which topology is chosen as Active Topology, see 2.5.1 Create a new topology.

In order to edit a new topology click on the edit icon at the panel in Topology Graphical View. The

Edit mode of the Topology Manager™ is now open.

Figure 1: Create a new topology (1)



In the context menu choose Add Geographical Region.




Now the Geographical Region can be set by opening the context menu in the upper left sub tree

view of the edit mode.


NOTE: The Geographical Region must be added. Otherwise it is not possible to design a new topology

in Topology Graphical View.

With the SubGeographicalRegion Collection Editor the sub geographical region can be added

and then it will be possible to work into the ACLineSegment Collection Editor or Substation

Collection Editor. In these editors you can add lines and/or substations in the same manner.




After the regions are set the substation can be inserted by selecting Insert Substation and

position the station in the graphical view. The size of the station is changeable through selecting

and moving one of the points on the graphical station.




The next step is to add a voltage level inside of the created station. The subtree is automatically

growing after any graphic has been added. By selecting the Bay, followed by selecting one icon

for some asset, assets can be added inside of the bay.


Click Update/Close and OK to save your topology.

2.2.2 Link the topology

After completing the topology there is an opportunity to assign the created topology to assets of a certain location in Asset Management module group. In the same way it is possible to link Voltage Level, Bay and Assets (including protection devices, circuit breaker, transformer etc.).

Open the topology in Edit mode.

Click the icon.

Click on the station to be linked.

Choose the link in the Location Explorer.

Click OK.

Figure 7: Link the topology (1)

NOTE: If you link assets, you need to select Link DB and then click on a certain asset inside of the

station then you will be able to do the required task.



Figure 8: Link the topology (2)

2.2.3 Change properties

Select a station, bay or voltage level and in the description box on bottom left (Edit mode) and change name, add a description etc. In case of a voltage level it is required to add a BaseVoltage. This is necessary if you like to change the color of the voltage level.

Select an object and then right-click on it. The Object Property window is opened.

Change the properties.

2.5 Network Topology History

2.5.1 Create a new topology

First of all to get in the environment of Network Topology History on the left side and create a new topology by selecting New Blank Topology.

Figure 12: Create new blank topology

The flag of Active Topology will then be set at the new created topology. This means that the new created topology will be displayed now in Topology Graphical View having a default name Power System Topology. Only one topology can be set as Active Topology. This one can be edited in module Topology Graphical View.

Also check the Active Topology as Audited, so all changes related to the CIM Model are recorded, but not on the graphic.

The column History Version means if you load new version of an existing topology the index number will increase with the number of loads.

2.5.2 Other functions

Save As…: create a copy of the active topology.

2.6 Network Topology Configuration

2.6.1 Primary Function Templates

Primary Function Templates is a group of primary data without actual values (primary data definitions). It represents the implementation of primary functions.

Context menu

New: create a Primary Function Template based on the chosen template.

New Blank: create an empty Primary Function Template.

Import Primary Functions: import primary functions from a template.

Edit: edit chosen template.

Delete: delete chosen template.

2.6.1.1 Create new Primary Function Template

Network Topology Configuration.

Right-click in Primary Function Templates and choose New… or New blank…

Fill the form and click Close or Update/Close.

The meaning of individual data fields is:

Name – name of the primary function template

Description – the description of the primary function template

Element Code – used as a reference value for primary function – must contain no blanks – it is

expected to be unique

Function Code – used for standard code assignment like ANSI /IEEE Standard designation

numbers

User Defined – it is unchecked if the template is defined (and maintained) by IPS or unchecked if

it is defined by customer (non IPS user).

Relay Independent – checked if the primary function template is relay independent

Relay Style – if the function template is relay dependent this field contains the relay style/pattern

information like 7SA6xx or P139

2 T opo log y Mana ger™ 2 .6 Ne t work T opo logy Con f igu ra t ion


Valid From, Valid Until – the validity of relay function (optional)

External Reference – if the relay function template definition is imported or synchronized with

external system (like CAPE) and that external systems behave as a source then this field

contains the unique reference id for primary function template in the external system

User Tag – user might add own tag for own referencing purposes (reporting, export to customer’s

other software packages, etc.)

Disabled – the primary function template is disabled and not used during selection process

Obsolete – the primary function template is obsolete and kept in the system for historical purpose

NOTE: Generally the primary function templates are relay independent and that is the common use case. However, if the primary functions are primarily calculated and used in some external systems like CAPE which doesn’t support relay independent primary functions IPS-ENERGY™ must support relay dependent function templates to keep the direct data exchange possible.

2.6.2 Primary Data Definitions

The primary data definition entities must be added to primary function templates and they could not exist outside of primary function templates.

Context menu

New: create Primary Data Definitions based on the chosen definition.

New Blank: create new Primary Data Definition.

Edit: edit chosen definition.

Delete: delete chosen definition.

2 T opo log y Mana ger™ 2 .6 Ne t work T op o logy Con f igu ra t ion


2.6.2.1 Create new Primary Function Template

Network Topology Configuration.

Right-click in Primary Data Definitions and choose New… or New blank…

In the window Primary Data Definition press Select and select the Primary Data Type from the

list, click OK.

Figure 13: Window Primary Data Definition

Fill the rest of the form and click Close or Update/Close.

The other data fields have the following meaning:

Name – the name of the primary data definition entity

Description – the name of the primary data definition entity (optional)

Primary Data Tag – used as a reference value for primary data definitions. Must contain no

blanks and it is expected to be unique under single primary function template.

User Defined – it is unchecked if the record is defined (and maintained) by IPS or unchecked if it

is defined by customer (non IPS user).

Zone Unit Number – added for CAPE compatibility and must be defined for distance protection

only.

User Tag – user might add own tag for own referencing purposes (reporting, export to customer’s

other software packages etc.)

External Reference – if the primary data (primary setting) definition entities are imported or

synchronized with external system (like CAPE) and that external system behaves as a source

then this field contains the unique reference id for corresponding entity in the external system.

Additionally, implemented were possibilities to connect to other parts of the IPS-ENERGY™ as

an internal source as well.

2.7 CIM classes graphical representation

2.7.1 Equipment containers (Locations in Asset Management)

Figure 14: Equipment container

2.7.1.1 Substation

A collection of equipment for purposes other than generation or utilization, through which electric energy in bulk is passed for the purposes of switching or modifying its characteristics.

2.7.1.2 Voltage Level

A collection of equipment at one common system voltage forming a switchgear. The equipment typically consist of breakers, busbars, instrumentation, control, regulation and protection devices as well as assemblies of all these.

2.7.1.3 Bay

A collection of power system resources (within a given substation) including conducting equipment, protection relays, measurements, and telemetry. A bay typically represents a physical grouping related to modularization of equipment.

2.7.2 Busbar Section

Figure 15: Busbar section



A conductor, or group of conductors, with negligible impedance, that serve to connect other conducting equipment within a single substation. Voltage measurements are typically obtained from Voltage Transformers that are connected to busbar sections. A bus bar section may have many physical terminals but for analysis is modelled with exactly one logical terminal.

2.7.3 Switches (Circuit Breakers and Disconnectors in A.M.)

Figure 16: Switches

2.7.3.1 Breaker

A mechanical switching device capable of making, carrying, and breaking currents under normal circuit conditions and also making, carrying for a specified time, and breaking currents under specified abnormal circuit conditions e.g. those of short circuit.

2.7.3.2 Disconnector

A manually operated or motor operated mechanical switching device used for changing the connections in a circuit, or for isolating a circuit or equipment from a source of power. It is required to

open or close circuits when negligible current is broken or made.

2.7.3.3 Ground Disconnector

A manually operated or motor operated mechanical switching device used for isolating a circuit or equipment from ground.



2.7.4 Power Transformers

Figure 17: Power transformers

An electrical device consisting of two or more coupled windings, with or without a magnetic core, for introducing mutual coupling between electric circuits. Transformers can be used to control voltage and phase shift (active power flow). A power transformer may be composed of separate transformer tanks that need not be identical.

A power transformer can be modeled with or without tanks and is intended for use in both balanced and unbalanced representations. A power transformer typically has two terminals, but may have one (grounding), three or more terminals.

2.7.5 Compensators

Figure 18: Compensator

2 T opo log y Mana ger ™ 2 .7 C IM c lasses g raph ica l r ep resen ta t ion


2.7.5.1 Shunt Compensator

A shunt capacitor or reactor or switchable bank of shunt capacitors or reactors a section of a shunt compensator is an individual capacitor or reactor. A negative value for reactivePerSection indicates that the compensator is a reactor. ShuntCompensator is a single terminal device. Ground is

implied.

2.7.5.2 Series Compensator

A Series Compensator is a series capacitor or reactor or an AC transmission line without charging susceptance. It is a two terminal device.

2.7.5.3 Grounding Impedance

A fixed impedance device used for grounding. A conducting equipment used to represent a connection to ground which is typically used to compensate earth faults. An earth fault

compensator device modeled with a single terminal implies a second terminal solidly connected to ground. If two terminals are modeled, the ground is not assumed and normal connection rules apply.

2.7.6 Connectivity

Figure 19: Connectivity

2.7.6.1 Connectivity Node

Connectivity nodes are points where terminals of AC conducting equipment are connected together with zero impedance.

2.7.6.2 Terminal

An AC electrical connection point to a piece of conducting equipment. Terminals are connected at physical connection points called connectivity nodes.



2.7.7 ACLineSegment (Overhead line) and Line Container

Figure 20: ACLine segment

2.7.7.1 ACLineSegment

A wire or combination of wires, with consistent electrical characteristics, building a single electrical system, used to carry alternating current between points in the power system. For symmetrical, transposed 3ph lines, it is sufficient to use attributes of the line segment, which describe impedances and admittances for the entire length of the segment. Additionally impedances can be computed by using length and associated per length impedances.

2.7.7.2 Line Container

Contains equipment beyond a substation belonging to a power transmission line.
