operation and monitoring of the complete substation including future extensions. The
systems shall be of the state-of-the art suitable for operation under electrical environment
present in Extra high voltage substations, follow the latest engineering practice, ensure long-
term compatibility requirements and continuity of equipment supply and the safety of the
operating staff.

The offered SAS shall support remote control and monitoring from Remote Control centres
via gateways. The system shall be designed such that personnel without any background
knowledge in Microprocessor-based technology are able to operate the system. The
operator interface shall be intuitive such that operating personnel shall be able to operate
the system easily after having received some basic training.

The system shall incorporate the control, monitoring and protection functions specified, self-
monitoring, signalling and testing facilities, measuring as well as memory functions, event
recording and evaluation of disturbance records.

Maintenance, modification or extension of components may not cause a shutdown of the

whole substation automation system.

Self-monitoring of components, modules and communication shall be incorporated to

increase the availability and the reliability of the equipment and minimize maintenance.

Bidder shall offer the Bay level unit (a bay comprises of one circuit breaker and associated
disconnector, earth switches and instrument transformer), bay mimic along with relay and
protection panels and PLCC/FO panels housed in air-conditioned Panel Room suitably
located and Station HMI in Control Room building for overall optimisation in respect of
cabling and control room building.

2.2 System architecture

The SAS shall be based on a decentralized architecture and on a concept of bay-oriented,

distributed intelligence. Functions shall be decentralized, object-oriented and located as
close as possible to the process.

The main process information of the station shall be stored in distributed databases. The
typical SAS architecture shall be structured in two levels, i.e. in a station and a bay level.

Bay Level

At bay level, the IEDs shall provide all bay level functions regarding control, monitoring and
protection, inputs for status indication and outputs for commands. The IEDs should be
directly connected to the switchgear without any need for additional interposition or
transducers.

Each bay control IED shall be independent from each other and its functioning shall not be
affected by any fault occurring in any of the other bay control units of the station.

The data exchange between the electronic devices on bay and station level shall take place
via the communication infrastructure. This shall be realized using fibre-optic cables, thereby

WBSETCL / TECH SPEC / Rev.-3 Page 3 of 35 Sub Station Automation System

 guaranteeing disturbance free communication. The fibre optic cables shall be run in GI
conduit pipes.

Data exchange is to be realised using IEC 61850 protocol with a redundant managed
switched Ethernet communication infrastructure The communication shall be made in fault
tolerant ring in redundant mode, excluding the links between individual bay IEDs to switch
wherein the redundant connections are not envisaged, such that failure of one set of fiber
shall not affect the normal operation of the SAS. However failure of fiber shall be alarmed in
SAS. Each fiber optic cable shall have four (4) spare fibers

Station Level

At station level, the entire station shall be controlled and supervised from the station HMI. It
shall also be possible to control and monitor the bay from the bay level equipment at all
times. Clear control priorities shall prevent operation of a single switch at the same time
from more than one of the various control levels, i.e. SLDC, station HMI, bay level or
apparatus level.

The priority shall always be on the lowest enabled control level. The station level contains
the station-oriented functions, which cannot be realised at bay level, e.g. alarm list or event
list related to the entire substation, gateway for the communication with remote control
centres. The GPS time synchronising signal (as specified in the section relay & protection) for
the synchronization of the entire system shall be provided. The SAS shall contain the
functional parts as described in para 1.2 above.

2.3 FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

The high-voltage apparatus within the station shall be operated from different places:
