 Protection & Control

NR’s is dedicated to providing diverse protection & control products with well-proven
technologies that has been widely used in thousands of projects worldwide. The
protection & control solution covers all primary assets, including generator, transformer,
transmission line, busbar, circuit breaker, reactor, capacitor, motor and beyond.

In the hardware platform, the innovative two-out-of-two logic is adopted to avoid the
mal-operation due to the failure of any component. Dependability and security are
obtained via the redundant scheme and the unique two-out-of-two logic. As well, NR has
a good understanding of protection theory and created many innovative technologies
or patents to improve the protection performances. The protection principle based on
Deviation of Power Frequency Component (DPFC) was firstly introduced by NR that it
can clear the short-circuit fault in an extreme short time. According to the field records,
the fast distance protection using DPFC operated in 3ms for the close-in fault of a
500kV transmission line. The unique power swing blocking logic can properly supervise
the distance protection as well as correctly trip the internal fault during power swing via
the independent detector element for the fault with power swing. In busbar protection,
the patented weighted anti-saturation algorithm is integrated in the current differential
protection to keep security to external fault and quickly clear internal fault during CT
saturation. The transformer protection adopts adaptive-blocking and cross-blocking
methods for inrush current to improve the performance.

For power generation, NR provides generator-transformer unit protection, generator

protection and transformer protection. The generator-transformer unit protection
provides “all-in-one” solution for generator-transformer unit, generator, main transformer,

 Stability Control

Blackouts will cause serious impacts to the modern society from economy to life, particularly critical to the important
institutes, such as hospital, underground mine, gas station, sewage treatment plants, etc.

NR provides the well-proven three-defense-line solution to improve the power system stability and significantly
reduce the blackouts. The first defense line means the reliable and high-speed relays that can clear the faults
correctly and fast, especially the reasonable actions during system oscillation, unstable frequency and unstable
voltage.

The unique second defense line is the innovative Power Stability Control System (PSCS) that provides the system-
level solution for the whole power grid. Different from other System Protection Schemes (SPS), the PSCS is based
on instability prediction instead of instability measurement. Before the installation, the tactic table is pre-determined
and simulated according to the previous stability study and strategy analysis. After installation, PSCS acquires all
the necessary real-time data from the substations or power plants and seeks the appropriate remedy actions in the
tactic table to pull the power system back to stability state BEFORE the system goes into instability state. Other SPS
only detects the system parameters and take actions AFTER the system enters instability state.

The third defense line is the out-of-step controller and frequency/voltage controller. These controllers detect the
system parameters and take actions to prevent the expansion of instability. Generally a basic requirement for
these controllers is that they should not operate during short-circuit fault which would be cleared by the protective
relays. Vice versa, the relay should not operate during system instability and leave it for the controllers to take
measurement.

The after-disturbance analysis is important to discover the potential problems in power system and help customers
enhance the system reliability. Generally the disturbance recording function using the dedicated Disturbance &
Fault Record (DFR) or integrated in the protective relay is applied in the substations and power plants to collect the
disturbance data.

 Recording & Measurement

NR provides the dedicated DFR to record the disturbance information including analog and
digital quantities to help verify the proper operation of protection & control devices and analyze
the potential problem in power system. To enhance the analysis capability, NR provides the
DFR management system based on the system-level data for the regional network and wide
area network. It connects with the DFRs in all substations and collects the disturbance data of
the whole power network. Engineers can analysis the disturbance cases using the data of the
complete network. The disturbance management system adopts IEC61850, FTP and IEC60870-5-
103 based on SDH/SONET or WAN.

Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) installed in the substations measures and sends the phasor to
the remote control center. The operator could visually view the synchronized phasors of the whole
power grid via the Wide Area Measurement System (WAMS), as well it could help the operators
make a correct decision to take remedy actions for power stability.

NR provides the complete solution of WAMS including the PMU and PDC (Phasor Data
Concentrator). The WAMS software package installed in the dispatching center collects all the
pahsor data from PMU and PDC in all substations and shows all the synchronized phasors to
operators. The PMUs and PDCs communicate with the dispatching center via SDH/SONET or
WAN.

Solutions for Power Electronics

Static VAR Compensator (SVC)

Reactive power is necessary to power system and plenty of power components can generate
or absorb reactive power. The balance of reactive power is an important issue since it is relative
to the system voltage. Generally the reactive power should be locally compensated to avoid the
transmission in power network so as to reduce losses.

The installation points of SVC in the network will be determined based on the system study.
SVC at the suitable points will increase transfer capability, maintain voltage profile, reduce
voltage fluctuation and enhance voltage stability. As well, the SVC will help suppress the power
oscillations via voltage amplitude modulation.

NR provides Static VAR Compensator (SVC) solution to smoothly adjust reactive power in the
power grid or industrial to achieve the stable voltage profile. It is composed of thyristors, reactors,
capacitor banks and control system. Versatile technologies are integrated in NR’s SVC solution,
including Thyristor-Controlled Reactor (TCR), Thyristor-Switched Capacitor (TSC), Breaker-
Switched Capacitor (BSC) or Fixed Capacitor (FC).
Flexible schemes are designed to meet the specific
project requirement, including TCR and TSC, TCR and
BSC or TCR and FC.

NR's SVC solution adopts innovative valve

technologies, reliable thyristor triggering method,
efficient cooling system and advanced protection &
control system. It has extensively gained a significant
market value by supplying dynamic reactive power
with fast response time and low-cost maintenance
scheme. NR could provide the ‘all-in-one’ solution for
SVC system covering study, design, supply, installation,
training, commissioning & trial operation.

 Static Synchronous
Compensator (STATCOM)

Modern society consistently relies on electrical power, requiring higher

demands of power stability and power quality. High-power rapid impact loads,
rapid growth of asymmetrical impact loads, e.g. electrified railway, increase in
distributed wind power generation equipment, and connections/disconnections
of large load and inevitable power system faults, are adverse factors which can
lead to considerable reactive disturbances in power system and affect power
stability, power quality and economy of power grid operation. The overcurrent
and overvoltage sequences caused by these disturbances may damage the
associated electrical apparatus.

To obtain a stable voltage conditions, the produced reactive power must be compensated. The most advanced solution to compensate the
reactive power is using high performance Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) to provide fast and variable reactive power to the grid.
The STATCOM can be considered as an advanced static VAR compensator (Advanced SVC).

NR provides the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) based on Voltage-Sourced-Converter (VSC) for reactive power regulating
used on flexible AC transmission, renewable energy generation, heavy loads centers and industrial fields. It helps utilities and industrial
customers gain economical benefits through solving voltage unbalance and distortion, restraining system overvoltage, supplying damped
oscillations and improving power factor.

Compared to classical SVC, STATCOM has many advantages as following:

• Faster response
The output of STATCOM range from rated capacitive reactive power to rated inductive reactive power with a very short time delay.

• Better ability of restricting voltage fluctuation

The ratio of restricting voltage fluctuation of STATCOM can reach 5:1 or even higher, while the maximum of typical SVC is only 2:1.

• Wider compensation range

Reactive power generated or absorbed by SVC is influenced by system voltage. A lower system voltage will cause weaker
compensation capability of SVC. In contrast, STATCOM is not affected by system voltage, and thus the compensation capability is not
influenced.

• Better results
STATCOM can compensate reactive power, harmonic and unbalance
of load, while SVC only compensates the reactive power.

• Fewer harmonic
Compared to SVC, STATCOM generates fewer harmonic and also
has active filter function.

• Smaller floor space

STATCOM can provide compensation without using capacitors and
reactors, thereby the floor space of STATCOM is only approximately
50% of that for SVC with the same compensation capability.

De-Icer

Heavy ice covering on transmission lines may cause tower collapse, break transmission lines and destroy
power grid integrality, generating serious damages to power system, or even large-scale regional outage.

NR develops the innovative De-Icer system to help customer solve the dangerous problem caused by
serious climate. NR provides the fixed De-Icer and relocatable De-Icer to meet the different applications.
And during the normal state, the De-Icer could be used as SVC to compensate the reactive power in the
power grid. It could be switched into the de-Icing state according to the field requirement.

De-Icer adopts thyristor rectifier converting AC current into DC current and injects the DC current into the
conductors, and then realizes de-icing with the heat produced by DC current crossing the line resistance.
When de-icing a transmission line, the line should be out of service and the 3-phase conductor should be
connected with the De-Icer. At the opposite substation, the 3-phase conductor shall be short-circuited. The
DC current will be injected into the conductor via Phase Selecting Switches (PSS) integrated in De-Icer.
The controller of De-Icer controls the DC current via adjusting triggering angle of thyristor.

 Fixed Series
Compensation (FSC)

Series compensation uses capacitive reactance connecting the transmission line

in series to change the line impedance. Usually it is used for the long transmission
line with bulk electricity. It can increase the power transfer capability as a result of
raising the transient stability limit, improve the voltage profile of the system, reduce
transmission losses by optimizing the sharing of active power between parallel lines
and reduce the cost of power transmission by making power transfer with fewer
parallel lines and less required shunt compensation.

NR provides the complete series compensation solution consisting of capacitor

bank, MOV, spark gap, damping reactor, bypass breaker and insulation platform. As
well, NR supplies the complete protection and control system and HMI management
software for the series compensation. In NR’s series compensation, the electronic
CT with merging unit is integrated providing the current measurement for protection
and control system. The redundant scheme is adopted in merging unit, protection
and control system. NR provides the ‘all-in-one’ solution for series compensation
covering design, supply, installation, training and commissioning. Appropriate design
and product will be selected according to the specific project.

In wind power generation, the power output of a turbine is a function

of the cube of the wind speed, thus when wind speed increases or
decreases, the power output will change accordingly. To interconnect
wind energy into power grid, the double-fed scheme is designed. NR
is capable of providing the converter to over-compensate or under-
compensate the power output of wind turbine. The compensated
power output is complying with the grid interconnection.

 RCS-931
Line Differential Relay

The RCS-931 relay is an advanced current differential

protection with stepped distance elements and overcurrent
elements intended for main and backup protection for
transmission lines with single-pole trip, three-pole trip
and auto-reclosing schemes. Phase segregated current
differential, zero sequence current differential and DPFC
differential are combined into the unique current differential
element. It also integrates voltage protection, frequency
protection, breaker failure protection and stub protection.
The relay can be used to protect the overhead lines and
underground cables of all voltage levels, including series
compensated lines, double-circuit lines, weak infeed (WI),
short lines and extremely long lines. It is fully compatible with
IEC 61850 communication. RCS-931 line differential relay is
also suitable for two-terminal and three-terminal applications.

 PCS-924
Stub Differential Relay

The PCS-924 numerical relay provides current differential

protection, sum overcurrent protection and feeder end fault
protection for the T-zone in breaker-and-a-half arrangement
and ring breaker arrangement. It integrates the three groups
of CT input and provides both 3-terminal and 2-terminal
current differential protections for T-zone according to the
binary input of feeder breaker auxiliary contact. The feeder
end fault protection based on the feeder CT is adopted
to avoid the trip of local breakers and send transfer trip
command to the remote end when the feeder isolator is open.
In addition, the overcurrent protection based on the sum of
two breaker CTs is used as the feeder backup protection
or energizing protection. The PCS-924 relay employs the
programmable logic, configurable I/O and definable 3-color
LEDs to provide the flexibility for the specific application.
Frequency tracking is used to minimize the sampling error
due to system frequency fluctuation. The PCS-924 relay
adopts the advanced UAPC multi-processor platform which
is fully complied with IEC 61850. It provides the interfaces
for station bus and process bus respectively and supports
IEC 61850-8-1 MMS, GOOSE, IEC 61850-9-2 Sampling
Value. And it provides the RJ-45 faceplate port for testing and
setting to make commissioning and maintenance easier.

 PCS-915ID
Distributed Busbar Protection

The PCS-915ID distributed busbar protection is used for

protecting and monitoring various busbar arrangement
with all voltage levels, including single busbar with/without
section, double busbar with/without sections, double busbar
with transfer bus, breaker-and-a-half arrangement and
ring-breaker arrangement. It adopts distributed structure,
consisting of one Central Unit (CU) and a number of Bay
Units (BU). The central unit is linked to bay units via optical
fibers in point-to-point communication mode. The central
unit is responsible for the protection calculation and relay
management, the bay unit acquires and transmits the analog
and binary data and executes the trip/close command issued
from Central Unit.

The device provides fast and secure low impedance busbar

protection with sub-cycle tripping time. It integrates advanced
and patented features to improve its sensitivity and security,
such as innovative DPFC current differential protection and

STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM

Power Stability Control System

Power Stability Control System (PSCS) is used to effectively
prevent and reduce the possibility of system oscillations.
Imbalance between loads and generations can result in
system frequency and voltage changes and could finally
lead to system collapse. Power stability control can quickly
restore system balance by load shedding or generator shut

frequency back to an acceptable value, so as to minimize the
affected area and avoid cascading instability.

way to prevent total system collapse caused by out-of-step of
interconnected power system.

When out-of-step condition has been detected, RCS-993

will give corresponding actions, including tripping associated
circuit breakers to separate the power system into two
or more smaller islands at pre-selected points, shutting
down proper generators, shedding appropriate loads or
triggering other related synchronizer preparing for the system
synchronism after the system separation.

MEASUREMENT & RECORDING

PCS-996A
Phasor Measurement Unit

The PCS-996A Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) relies on a

GPS time signal to provide extremely accurate time-stamping
of the power system information. The measured vector
quantities are sent to control center to provide a basis for
monitoring, protecting and controlling power networks.
PMU in Substation/Power Plant

PMUs are installed in substations and power plants as a

part of Wide Area Measurement System (WAMS) and Power
Stability Control System (PSCS). It can improve system
economic operation and enhance power stability against any
severe disturbances. PMUs installed in different locations are
synchronized by a GPS clock. If the GPS source is lost, an
internal high-precise clock source will be used instead.

The PCS-996A is hosted on the advanced UAPC multi-

processor platform, fully complying IEEE Std C37.118-2005,
IEC 60870-5-103 and IEC 61850 standard to ensure the
openness communication and enable easy integration into
any system.

Figure1. Typically Architecture for Integration in WAMS

Integration to WAMS
The PCS-996 fully supports communications to Wide Area
Measurement System (WAMS) based on international
protocols(IEEE Std C37.118-2005, IEC 60870-5-103 and
IEC 61850). The measured vector quantities are transmitted
from PCS-996A to WAMS via communication network and
assembled for advanced supervision and analysis. It allows
direct comparison of phasor from various locations in the power
system.

Integration to PSCS
The measured vector quantities can be transmitted from PCS-
996A to Power Stability Control System (PSCS) for the stability
control. In case of imbalance between generation and load
or severe disturbance evolving power oscillations, PSCS cab
take fast and reliable emergency actions, such as generator
shut-down, load-shedding, to ensure the system stability for
defending power system against blackouts.
