SECTION 1
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The specification is applicable for development of SCADA system on Indian
Railways for 25 kV ac traction power Supply system (including sub-urban) &
2X25 kV ac Auto Transformer Traction power supply system.
1.1.1 This specification covers various requirements of complete SCADA software and
hardware. The SCADA system shall work with IEC 60870-5-101, a companion
standard of IEC 60870-5 series of open protocol standards.
1.1.2 Since SCADA system consists of a number of sub systems like software,
hardware equipment like RTU, computers and other communication interface
devices, it will be the responsibility of the tenderer to provide successful
integration & satisfactory performance of complete system. For this purpose long
term commercial and technical tie up with the OEM’s, if any, shall be ensured by
the tenderer.
1.1.3 The SCADA system shall be of highest reliability and based on the state-of-the art
technology. It shall be capable of monitoring and controlling traction power
supply from a remote location called Remote Control Centre (RCC). It should
enable TPC to monitor and control power supply to the remotely situated
switching stations from RCC reliably and safely. The system should be capable
of collecting, storing, displaying and analyzing data as stipulated in the
specification.
1.1.4 Interpretation of any technical meanings of the specifications and sorting out
technical disputes regarding this specification shall be decided by Director
General (Traction Installation), Research Designs & Standards Organization,
Lucknow (RDSO), whose decision shall be final and binding.
1.1.5 There shall be three main parts of the SCADA system – Master Station
equipment, Remote Station equipment and Communication link, details of which
have been covered in this specification.
1.1.6 Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) shall serve as single point interface between
switching stations (All TSS, SP and SSP) and master station.
1.1.7 The tenderers shall familiarize themselves with site conditions before quoting
against tenders based on this specification. Conditions particular to individual
sites, including availability of communication and spare channels, conditions &
space at RCC, switching posts, proximity to Road/Rail, sequence in which RTUs

kV single phase 50Hz ac traction power supply.
The equipment at RCC shall be installed indoor however rooms may not be air
conditioned. The SCADA equipment at controlled stations shall be installed
inside track side cubicles/ rooms and subjected to vibrations on account of
running trains on the near-by Railway tracks. The amplitude of these vibrations
lies in the range of 30 to 150 microns, with instantaneous peaks going up to 350
microns. These vibrations occur with rapidly varying time periods in the range of
15 to 70ms. The track side cubicles will not be air-conditioned and are liable for
exposure to polluted, dusty and corrosive atmosphere.
1.2.1 The locations at which the SCADA system equipment (RTU) in field are to
function shall be subjected to heavy rains and lightning during monsoon. The
extreme atmospheric condition limits for design purpose shall be as under:
1.3.1 At the RCC 415 Volts, 3 Phase 4 wire, 50 Hz supply shall be made available by
the purchaser.
1.3.2 In case of failure of the ac supply at the RCC, all the RCC equipment shall be fed
by the on line UPS.
1.3.3 The RTUs shall operate on 110 Volt dc supply provided by the Purchaser (Vdc:
110 +10 % & -20%).
1.4.1.1 25 kV, ac, 50 Hz, single phase electric traction system has been adopted for the
electric traction. Traction power is obtained from utilities at 220 / 132 / 110 / 66
kV at Traction Sub Stations (TSS) and stepped down to 25 kV. Adjacent TSSs are
spaced at a distance of 40 to 80 Km.

of 66 Effective from --.
kV single phase 50Hz ac traction power supply.
1.4.1.2 The supply to the Over Head Equipment (OHE) from TSS is fed through
interrupters located at Feeding Post (FP). Adjacent TSS normally supplies power
to the OHE on different phases to reduce unbalance in the supply authority grid.
To avoid the pantograph of a locomotive or electric multiple unit bridging the
supply from different phases, when it passes from one zone to another, a Neutral
Section is provided to separate the OHEs fed from different phases.
1.4.1.3 The switching station provided at neutral section is called Sectioning and
Paralleling Post (SP). In an emergency, when a TSS is out of power, feed from
adjacent TSSs on either side is extended up to the failed TSS by closing bridging
interrupters at SP on both the lines. The pantographs of electric locomotives or
electric multiple unit is/are lowered at the failed TSS to avoid short-circuiting the
phases at the insulated overlap.
1.4.1.4 Between TSS and adjacent neutral section, the OHE is divided into sub-sections
for isolating the faulty section for the purpose of maintenance and repairs The
switching stations provided at such points are called Sub Sectioning and
Paralleling Posts (SSP). The OHE of various tracks, in multiple track sections, are
paralleled at the SP & SSP to reduce voltage drop in OHE The sub sectors are
further divided into elementary sections by the use of manually operated isolators.
1.4.1.5 At TSS, FP, SP and SSP, equipment like power transformers, circuit breakers,
interrupters, single and double pole isolators, potential and current transformers,
lightening arresters, LT supply transformers etc. are installed. A masonry building
is provided for housing the control panels, SCADA equipment, battery and
battery charger, etc.
1.4.1.6 All TSSs, FPs, SPs and SSPs are generally unmanned. OFF load tap changing of
the transformers, switching ON and switching OFF of CBs, interrupters and
motor operated isolators are controlled through the SCADA system.
1.4.1.7 A Drawing showing general scheme of power supply for traction system is at
Annexure-9

kV single phase 50Hz ac traction power supply.
1.4.3.1 The power for electric traction is supplied in a.c. 50 Hz, single phase through
2x25kV A.T. feeding system, which has a feeding voltage (2x25kV) from the
traction sub-station (TSS) two times as high as the catenary voltage (25kV). This
high voltage power supplied from the sub-station through catenary wire and
feeder wire in stepped down to the catenary voltage by use of Auto-Transformer
(ATs) installed about every 13 to 17 km along the track at Auto Transformer Post
(ATP), Sub-sectioning, and Paralleling Post (SSP) and Sectioning, and Paralleling
Post (SP) and then fed to the locomotives. In other words, both the catenary
voltage and the feeder voltage are 25kV against the rail, although the sub-station
feeding voltage between catenary and feeder wires is 50kV. Therefore, the
catenary voltage is the same as that of the conventional 25kV system as above.
Since the power is supplied in two times higher voltage, the 2x25kV AT
system is suitable for a large power supply and it has the following advantages as
compared with the conventional 25kV system.

feeder. Two inner side terminals are, via series capacitors or directly, connected to
each other, and their joint is solidly earthed and connected to the running rails.
The load current from the sub-station flows through the catenary and
returns to the sub-station through the feeder. Between two adjacent ATs, the load
current fed from the catenary to the locomotive flows in the rail and is boosted up
to the feeder through the neutral taps of the two ATs.

A single shot auto-reclosing scheme for the feeder circuit breaker at traction sub-
station has been adopted to facilitate reclosing of the breaker automatically once,
after a pre-set time delay after tripping of the breaker on OHE fault. This feature
will help in quick restoration of traction power supply to OHE if the fault is of a
transient nature.
1.4.3.5 All traction substations and switching stations are normally unattended and off
circuit tap changer of the transformer, circuit breakers, interruptors, and motor are
operated remotely from the RCC through the SCADA equipment.
The off circuit tap changer of the transformer, circuit breakers, interruptors
and motor operated isolators could also be operated locally as well as manually at
the TSS, SP and SSP as the case may be. At the TSS, a local/remote changeover
switch is provided on the control panel, as well as in the mechanism box of the
circuit breaker, interruptor and motor operated isolator. No control panel exists
for the interruptors /circuit breakers at the SP and SSP and therefore the
local/remote changeover switch is provided on the mechanism box of the
interruptor/circuit breaker.

SECTION 9
9.1 SCADA software shall have integrated Energy Management functionality which shall
provide a comprehensive Energy Management System that incorporates modules offering:
SCADA capability through graphical MMI interface; advanced real-time viewing capability;
data-logging and viewing of historical logs; graphing, and analysis of data; Concurrent MD
calculation and alarm.
9.2 Communication with Energy Meters shall be through RS485 port in the RTU. The
communication protocol between RTU and the Energy Meter shall be MODBUS only.
9.3 A tri-vector meter on HV side shall be part of supply. The RTUs at TSS shall be interfaced
with tri-vector meter.
9.4 Currently maximum demand is being monitored at each Traction Sub-Station and once the
MD increases beyond the limit, high penalty is imposed which can be avoided by
considering concurrent MD. The idea of conceiving concurrent MD arisen out of making an
observation on the load profile of a section. It is observed that the load increases for a very
short period due to bunching of the train in section fed by one TSS while the adjacent or
next TSS to adjacent is having very less/ no load. Thus the total load in the section if
distributed equally does not cause overshooting of MD limit and when the trains due to
geographical/ operating condition run close to each other in some part of section while the
rest of the section may not have any train, causes overshoot of MD though the total load of
the trains is more or less same.
9.5 In view of the above, a scheme has to be evolved by the successful tenderer to monitor
concurrent MD by collecting data from all HV side meters at TSS via the RTU. Necessary
software to make the scheme feasible shall be the part of this specification and to be
supplied by the successful tenderer.
9.6 Maximum Demand should either be acquired from the Energy Meter, or calculated by the
RTU. SCADA system shall time-synchronize the RTUs over communication protocol. If
energy meters provide the MD data of the current cycle then energy meters must support
time-synchronization from the RTU, else RTU shall maintain MD data of the current cycle.
Since SCADA system is synchronized with GPS system, therefore the current cycle of MD
must also be synchronized with the GPS.
9.7 Maximum error allowed in time cycle of MD is 1 second, at any given time, the ongoing
cycle of MD shall never have drift of more than 1 second with respect to GPS time.
9.8 MD calculation inside the Energy Meter / RTU must take place at least every 500ms.
9.9 The energy management software shall consist of the following functions:
i. Voltage
ii. Current
9.9.2 Scaling of various parameters shall be possible in SCADA system based on CT/PT ratios
and any internal scaling used by the tri-vector meter.
9.9.3 Reporting and trending software module that shall provide a comprehensive report on
the parameters of the meter being monitored. A load profile for selected period should be
