1 Introduction
The 400kV Switchyard provided for evacuation of power generated at Krishnapatnam plant, is of
conventional one and half circuit breaker switching scheme, comprising 2 Nos. of Station transformers, 2
sets of Generator transformers, 2 Nos. of Bus Reactors and 6 Nos. of lines evacuating power to
APTransco grid.

2 Technical Data
Control supply voltages envisaged for different Equipments

i. Control/spring charging of CB - 220V DC

ii. Control of Isolator & ES - 220V DC
iii. Control / Protection panels - 220V DC
iv. AC supply for lighting/heaters - 415/230V AC
v. Scada HMI’s - 230V AC from UPS
vi. Transformer MB’s - 230V AC

3 Description of 1 & ½ breaker system

One and half bus configuration has two main buses with both buses energized during normal
operation.For every two circuits there are three breakers, with each circuit sharing a common centre tie
breaker. This is termed as diameter. Any of the breaker can be removed for maintenance without affecting
the service on the outgoing circuits. Configuration also allows LILO operation without going through the
main bus.Fault on either bus can be isolated without interrupting the service to the outgoing lines.
Four CT arrangement is adopted in each diameter (one set of CT’s on each bus side and two sets of CT’s
in Tie). The bus side and Tie CT’s are summated to measure the outgoing currents, for the feeder
protections, metering (refer Figure-1).
For faults on feeder, protection trip commands are issued to main and tie breakers. Breaker fail protection
is provided for each breaker. In case of breaker stuck during fault, the breaker fail protection will initiate
trip of connected bus, Tie and remote end breakers. Breaker fail of Tie breaker initiates trip of both main
breakers in the diameter and remote end breakers. CT’s on the respective bus side of various bays are
summated for bus protection and no CT switching is involved.
Bus CVT’s are provided on each main bus for metering/synchronizing purposes. This also caters to
metering/ protections of Station transformer bays which does not have dedicated CVT. Selection of bus
CVT’s is done through main &/or tie breakers of corresponding diameter.
Dedicated CVT’s are provided for Line and GT bays for protection, metering and synchronizing purposes.
Besides dedicated EMVT’s are available on the Line and GT bays for tariff metering purposes.

The following logics in Annexure-A provides guidelines of scheme functioning

a) Trip matrix
b) Auto-reclose logic
c) Direct Trip Send logic,
The distance protection has selectable communication schemes for permissive carrier intertrip/blocking.
The main 1 & 2 protections are on separate DC (i.e battery/chargers) along with respective 1 & 3 phase
trip units and trip coils 1 & 2.
For faults on line, protection trip commands are issued via trip units to main and tie breakers faulted
phase.
Auto-reclosure facility (either 1 or 3 phase selectable) is available in the bay controller for reclosure under
line faults. Auto reclosure is started for Zone -1 (or) carrier aided trip for faults within the line section. The
main and tie breakers tripped under this event has to be reclosed sequentially. For this purpose “Priority
circuit” feature is available which allows closing of one breaker first ( preferably main breaker) and upon
successful closing of main breaker the tie breaker is allowed to close subsequently.
Besides “Memory” feature is built in the bay controller which prevents auto-reclosing of the breaker which
was open prior to fault occurrence.(Refer Figure-3)
Auto recloser is blocked for definite trips like LBB operation, back-up protection trip, busbar trip, over
voltage trip, zone 2/3 faults, carrier fail, direct trip receive, breaker problems.
In the event of DC fail to the bay controller (having reclosing function), any single phase faults is
converted to three phase trip, due to non availability of auto reclosure.
Protection operated from over voltage, directional earth fault, stub protection, intertrip receive are definite
trips energizing 3 phase lockout relays, which in turn trip the main & tie breaker.
Direct inter trip send is initiated to remote end for local breaker stuck to isolate faulted line section. Direct
trip can also be initiated for manual trip, busbar trip when lines are long.
Necessary contacts are provided from protections for alarm annunciations in backup control panel and
Scada. (Refer Alarm List Annexure-E)

from bay protections. In case of breaker stuck during fault, the breaker fail protection will initiate trip of
connected bus, Tie and remote end breakers. The bus bar operated also initiates the breaker fail
protection to trip the remote end in case of any breaker stuck condition..
The bus bar operated is routed to respective bay protections for auto reclose block (for lines) and
breaker closing circuit interlock for all bays.

6.11 Substation Automation System:

The SAS provides facility to monitor the complete 400kV Switchyard Protections, Control &
Synchronization of the Bay equipments from Switchyard control room as well as from Main control
room. However a simultaneous control from both the control rooms is not possible.

The SAS is based on ABB make MicroSCADA Pro software running on a redundant hot standby
mode on two industrial PCs with Microsoft Windows 2003 server Operating System. In addition the
SAS system, integrated Gateways are also provided on IEC 60870-5-101 (Slave) protocol and OPC
(SAS as Server) connectivity for interfacing to Main plant DCS.

System Architecture

For safety and availability reasons the SAS is based on a decentralized architecture and on a concept
of bay-oriented, distributed intelligence. Functions are decentralized, object-oriented and located as
close to the process as possible.

The SAS layout is structured in two levels:

 Station level and
 Bay level

Station Level
The hardware of the station level system provided for the 400kV Switchyard control room consists of
the following:
The SAS conforms to IEC 61850 standards and has a decentralized architecture consisting of the
following main functional parts:

Switchyard Control Room:

 Dual Operator work station-OWS in Hot-Standby mode
 Laptop (Configuration and parameterization)
 Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) for bay control and monitoring
 Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED’s) for bay station protection
 Managed switched fibre-optic Ethernet LAN in fault tolerant ring architecture to ensure highest
availability
 Integrated Gateway for remote communication to RLDC/SLDC (Communication infrastructure
between SAS and RLDC/SLDC is not in our scope). The communication to RLDC uses IEC
60870-5-101 (slave) protocol, with the remote centre as the master and the local gateway as the
slave. It is possible to control and monitor the local station from remote control centres; however
remote control centre will decide the default control point.
Main Control Room:
 Operator work station-OWS with dual headed monitors.
 Engineering and Disturbance Recorder Station-EWS with dual head monitors. In case of failure of
OWS at Main control room EWS shall act as OWS.
 The substation LAN is extended to the Main Plant control room through fibre optic communication
equipmen
 Remote communication to Main Plant DCS on OPC Connectivity
 Dot Matrix printer for alarms and events
 Colour laser printers for graphics and report
 Gateway for remote communication to BOP & TG DCS on OPC Connectivity
 GPS receiver is provided to synchronize the time of SAS including the IEDs for protection and
control. This GPS master clock is independent of the station computers and gateways, and it
synchronizes all devices via inter bay bus using SNTP protocol as defined by the IEC 61850
standards.

A redundant PC based HMI (Main/standby controller / Operator work station) enables local station
control through the software package MicroSCADA Pro, which contains an extensive range of SCADA
functions. The operator workstation HMI depicts the complete 400kV switchyard real time graphic
mimic diagram. Within the SAS it is possible to work from both Operator workstations at any point of
time and with the failure of Main controller the operations can be monitored from the Standby
Controller.
The SCADA system is having special user functions such as station single line diagram, overviews,
control of circuit breakers and isolators, alarm lists and event lists, logging of historical data for trends
and reports.
Within the SAS, inter bay bus provides independent station-to-bay and bay-to-bay data exchange.
Disturbance evaluation software and MicroSCADA application is provided in the Main Control Room.
The application server automatically downloads the DR data from the IEDs in the pre-defined time
intervals. The downloading of DR data can also be done manually on operator’s request.

An authorization mechanism prevents system access to unauthorized users and allows assignment of
a number of authorization levels. This makes certain functions accessible only to those users who
have the required level of authorization.

The control hierarchy and control levels of the SAS shall be based on the logical structure of the SAS,
shown below

Control level 4(Limited) If required

Control level 3 Substation level (SAS-HMI)

Control level 2 Bay control Unit

Control level 1 Backup Control panel

Control level 0 Switchyard equipment

Transfer of control authority from Level 0 to Level 1

Local/Remote switch is provided in the Switchyard equipment. When the switch is set to Remote, the
control authority will be transferred to the respective back-up control panel

Transfer of control authority from Level 1 to Level 2

For all bays Local-CP-OFF-BCU-SCADA switch is provided on the backup control panel. When the
switch is set to BCU, the control authority will be transferred to the respective BCU. Synchronizing/
Energising check is performed in the BCU.

Transfer of control authority from Level 2 to Level 3

Local-CP-OFF-BCU-SCADA switch is provided on backup control panel. When the switch is set to
SCADA, the control authority will be transferred to SCADA HMI.

Transfer of control authority from Level 3 to Level 4.

Level 4 control authority is used only if required.

Bay Level
A bay comprises of one circuit breaker and associated disconnectors, earth switches and instrument
transformers. At bay level, the IEDs provide all bay level functions like control (command outputs),
monitoring (status indications, measured values) and protection. The IEDs are directly connected to
the primary equipment without any need for additional interposing devices or transducers.

Each bay control IED is independent of the others and its functioning is not affected by any fault
occurring in any of the other bay control units of the station.

Ethernet switches are provided for Bay level connection in the SAS System. The connection from
each IED to the switch is by a single fibre optic link. The switches are connected in a fault tolerant ring

topology. At the station level, to provide communication redundancy, two Ethernet switches are used
to connect the redundant HMI and other station level equipment.

The data exchange among bay level IEDs and between bay level and station level take place via the
fibre-optic inter bay bus according to IEC 61850-8-1 standard. The use of fibre-optic LAN guarantees
disturbance-free communication.

Though, at station level, the entire station is controlled and supervised from the station HMI, it is
possible to control and monitor the bay from the bay level, when the control authority is set
appropriately. The decentralized architecture ensures that station wide interlocking is available even
when the station computer fails.

Clear control priorities prevent the initiation of simultaneous operation of a single equipment from
more than one of the various control levels, i.e. MCR, SCADA, BCU, CP or Equipment level. The
priority is on the lowest enabled control level. The operation also depends on the status of other
functions like interlocking, synchrocheck, etc., as applicable.

6.12 UPS System:

a. Uninterruptible power supply system will cater to critical AC loads like SCADA operator stations
in switchyard control room.
b. UPS will be of “parallel redundant with static bypass to regulated supply” with 2x100% SMF
battery, 2x100% battery charger, inverter, static bypass switch, and regulated AC sinusoidal
supply.
c. UPS battery will be Lead acid type and will be rated for 1 hour backup.
d. The supply required for the computers in Main control room shall be taken from UPS supply
available in main control room.
e. UPS will be single phase and rated for connected loads and with a loading factor of 1.25.
f. Output voltage waveform will be sinusoidal (<1% accuracy over entire load) with AC harmonic
content 230V+/-5% total & +/-3% for any single harmonic. Frequency regulation will be +/-0.5%
