Why Digital Bus Relay?

In
Ve ter
rs na
io l
n

Re-configurable busbars require dynamic assignment


of currents to multiple zones
expensive and dangerous when done externally on
secondary currents (analog way)
natural and safe when done in software
Breaker Fail for re-configurable busbars is naturally
integrated with the bus protection
No need for special CTs (cost)
Relaxed requirements for the CTs (cost)
Advantages of digital technology

Reliability
Security:
Immunity to CT saturation
Immunity to wrong input information
Large number of inputs and outputs required:
AC inputs (tens or hundreds)
Trip rated output contacts (tens or hundreds)
Other output contacts (tens)
Digital Inputs (hundreds)
Large processing power required to handle al the data

B90 algorithms aimed at:


Improving the main differential function by providing
better filtering, faster response, better restraining
technique, robust switch-off transient blocking, etc.
Incorporating a saturation detection mechanism that
would recognize CT saturation on external faults in
a fast and reliable manner
Applying a second protection principle namely
phase directional (phase comparison) for better
security

32

In
Ve ter

n

The amount of restraint provided by various definitions


is different; sometimes significantly different particularly
for multi-circuit differential elements such as busbar
protection
When selecting the slope (slopes) one must take into
account the applied definition of the restraining signal
The B90 uses the maximum of definition of the
restraining current

Industrial Systems
Sum of vs. Max of definitions of restraint

33

Sum of approach:
more restraint on external faults; less sensitivity on internal
faults
scaled sum of may take into account the actual number of
connected circuits increasing sensitivity
characteristic breakpoints difficult to set
Max of approach (B30, B90 and UR in general):
less restraint on external faults
more sensitivity on internal faults
breakpoints easier to set
better handles situations when one CT may saturate
completely (99% slope settings possible)

Industrial Systems
Directional Principle

40

Implementation:
step 1: select fault contributors
A contributoris a circuit carrying significant amount of current
A circuit is a contributor if its current is above higher break
point
A circuit is a contributor if its current is above a certain portion
of the restraining current
step 2: check angle between each contributor and the sum of all
the other currents
Sum of all the other currents is the inverted contributor if the
fault is external; on external faults one obtains an angle of 180
degrees
step 3: compare the maximum angle to the threshold
A threshold is a factory constant of 90 degrees
An angle shift of more than 90 degrees due to CT saturation is
physically impossible

Operation:
The SAT flag WILL NOT be set during internal faults
whether or not any CTs saturate
The SAT flag WILL be SET during external faults
whether or not any CTs saturate
By design the SAT flag is NOT used to block the

In

Dynamic bus replica mechanism is provided by associating a


status signal with each current of a given differential zone
Each current can be inverted prior to configuring into a zone (tiebreaker with a single CT)
The status signal is a FlexLogicTM operand (totally user
programmable)
The status signals are formed in FlexLogicTM including any
filtering or extra security checks from the positions of switches
and/or breakers as required

Isolators
Tie-Breakers

Reliable Isolator Closed signal is composed


The Isolator Position signal:
Decides whether the associated current is to be included into
differential calculations
Decides whether the associated breaker is to be tripped
For maximum safety:
Both normally open and normally closed contacts are used
Isolator alarm is established under discrepancy conditions
Isolator position to be sorted out under non-valid combinations
of the auxiliary contacts (open-open, closed-closed)
Switching operations in the substation shall be inhibited until
the bus image is recognized with 100% accuracy
Optionally the 87B may be inhibited from the isolator alarm

BF Architecture:
Current supervision residing on protection IEDs
BFI signal can be generated internally (from protection IEDs)
or externally via communications or a digital input from any
IED
BF logic and timers residing on the logic IED
Trip contacts distributed freely between various IEDs
BF Performance:
Reset time of current sensors below 0.7 power system cycle
Communications delays around 0.2 power system cycle
between any two neighboring IEDs
