The issue of substation integration is recognized as a very important one ever since the process of technological development brought a multitude of new computer -based devices and functions into substation operation . During the relatively short time period after the first microprocessors were invented , a myriad of computer -based devices found their application in power engineering . Those devices had a variety of input and output data formats , which hampered exchange of data among different devices .
Recent initiatives for standardization of substation data formats and communication protocols have progressed to facilitate production of devices with standardized data formats and data exchange capabilities . Central substation computers now have an opportunity to collect and process data from such computer -based devices .
An advanced data collecting and processing solution is developed and implemented as Integrated Substation Software in an effort to enhance substation integration . This report describes a solution that comprises data generation using a substation model , data collecting from modeled apparatus and instruments and finally application of data processing and consistency checking algorithms for creating outputs . The process of data collecting and processing is automated and repeated in equidistant time intervals . Results of processing and related reports are concisely displayed on the user interface screen and exported through data files .
The Substation Integration Software was tested through the set of scenarios where each scenario is used to test one of the processing and consistency checking algorithms . The results show that measurements are improved and applicable for usage by other substation and system -wide applications . |
