2. Short Term Recorder
3. Long Term Recorder
4. Continuous Recorder
5. Sequence of Events Recorder

Transient Recorder:

These records shall be very short in duration and typically include faults that are
cleared immediately by circuit breaker operation. These events shall be analyzed to
determine correct protection operation, faultlocation, or verification of system
model parameters.

Short Term Record:

These records shall include all other time-delayed fault clearing and reclosing
events where the system operation(stability) is not affected. These events shall be
analyzed to determine correctprotection operation, fault location or verification of
system model parameters.
These records shall be possible to create by following ways:
Continuously: measurements are continuously recorded. A new record shall be
available each 10 minutes.
Triggered: The fault recorder is triggered when a single or Boolean equation
combination of thresholds isviolated, by a cross-trigger signal from another
recorder or by a manual trigger using the Web Interface.
Sampling Rate:
The triggered recorder sampling rate be user-selectable among 256, 128, or 64
points-per-cycle of the nominalfrequency of the input signal.
Long Term Record:
These records include those events that affect system stability such as power
swings, frequency variations andabnormal voltage problems. These events are
usually analyzed to determine causes of incorrect systemoperations.

641

Sampling Rate:
The trigger and continuous recorder sampling rate is 1 point-per-cycle of the
nominal frequency of the inputsignal.
Steady State Record
There records are steady state disturbances where system operation is not
threatened, but power quality is affected.This may include harmonics or sub-
harmonics produced by the load and/or the interaction between powersystems
components.Steady-state records are created daily. Measurements are continuously
recorded and averaged over 1 or 10min (user selectable). A new record is created
at the rollover of each day.
Sampling Rate:
The daily steady-state recorder sampling rate is 256 points-per-cycle, aggregated
in 1 point-per-minute or 1point-per-10-minutes as selected by the user.
Sequence-of-Events Recorder (SER)
Recorder shall gather and time tag operational data from substation equipment and
control schemes as they react to asystem event. This data allows the chain of
events to be studied for the cause (or causes) of any maloperationand the linkages
between individual actions and effects.SOE records are created daily recording on a
tabular format all the changes in digital and GOOSE inputs aremonitored.
Sampling Rate:
The SOE sampling rate is 256 points-per-cycle of the nominal frequency of the
input signal. Therefore, theresolution of the signal is better than 80 s.
Phasor Measurement Unit:

The equipment must be able to construct accurate synchrophasor data based on

the incoming measurements from the units. The solution must be scalable in terms
the number of analogue channels and phasors available. The synchrophasor
measurement must be carried our according ot IEEE C37.118.1a-2014 phasor
measurement unit with M Class compliance.

hundred of meter is not achievable through traditional impedance based fault
location.
642

Distance to fault locator:

Be microprocessor online type

The acquisition units shall be either standalone for each line or composite unit
with thecapability to cater to four lines emanating from the substations. Incase
more than onelines are to be accommodated in one acquisition unit, then
suitable coupler unit shallbe provided in individual line bay C&R panels and only
secondary wiring shall bebrought to common acquisition unit. While offering this
option, bidders are advised totake care of maximum distance between
acquisition unit & line bays C&R panels, whichshall be placed in different Kiosks.
