Control and monitoring functions shall be performed by the microprocessor relays and/or
I/O unit installed at the substation. The microprocessor relays and/or I/O units are
responsible for automatically, locally, and remotely tripping and closing the breakers. The
relays and/or I/O unit send back the status of the breakers along with the operational and
maintenance data for the substation apparatus.

To reduce large amount of copper cables used, all control & protection cubicles shall be
installed outdoor at bays which they are chosen to protect and control. The outdoor
cubicle shall have appropriate design (for example with fans, air-conditioners, heating
resistors, special design, materials and coating paint, ...) to create an acceptable working
environment for specific kind of microprocessor relays and/or I/O units.

Communications processors perform the data concentration and remote terminal

2.3. Technical Requirements

2.3.1. General

2.3.1.1. System Users and Data Requirements

The Integration System shall include a data acquisition function that shall be available to
Buyer operation, engineering and maintenance personnel at various locations. The
principle Integration System users and the major functions performed by each user
include the following.

Transmission and Distribution Operations and Planning

This group consists of the Distribution Operations Engineers who are responsible for
distribution relay settings and the operation of the distribution system. The group also
responds to customers. The group also includes the Distribution Planners and
Transmission Planners who study and recommend all future construction activities
reliability programs and system security issues. Competition within the industry will
require many more load flow and available transfer capability studies.

Distribution Operations Engineers

This group needs fault data and quality of service data on a per feeder basis. On some
feeder’s power quality information would be useful. Presently this group has no
information available to them but would like it if it can be provided cost effectively.

Distribution Planners

This group needs accurate time stamped Watts and Vars on a per feeder basis for the
purpose of better planning of reader construction. Presently, this group relies on ampere
demand readings that indicate only monthly phase ampere peaks. The group also desires
more accurate and timely Substation Transformer loading curves that filter load
imbalances by switching and are less susceptible to errors caused by incorrect analogue
value scaling.

2.3.1.2. Transmission and Substation Engineering

The members of this group include the Relay Engineers who need access to the fault
records and sequence-of-events. Also, the Substation Engineers need access to equipment
monitors and smart circuit breaker information.

2.3.1.3. SCADA/EMS
This users group consists of the Transmission Dispatchers responsible for the remote
operation of the transmission system, and the Relay System Control Group responsible
for maintaining the hardware and software required to operate the transmission system
(the SCADA master, map boards, substation operating instructions, dispatcher screens
and consoles). This group works at the Southern Load Dispatching Center and HCMLDC

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 19

(NLDC, SLDC) located in HCM city. The Substation Operators are responsible for local
switching, tagging and relay target recording.

Transmission Dispatchers

This group requires real time data from the substation in order to operate the system. The
data needs to be only the essential data from the system to enable them to make quick
decisions. Three dispatchers are on duty at all times.

Relay System Control Group

The support group requires the ability to access the substation hardware the SCADA
function to perform remote diagnostics and configuration via the phone line.

Substation Operators

This group needs access to the same information as the Transmission Dispatcher except
the need is locally at the substations. The group must be able to execute switching orders
and verification that the operations (targets) in an abbreviated format similar to what may
appear on the front panel of a relay. The group must be able to see, apply and remove
switching tags.

Redundancy is not presently required for the SCADA function. However, SCADA
capabilities shall not be disabled by failure of the station computer. No single point of
failure shall disable both SCADA and local automatic control (provided by relay IEDs or
PLCs).

2.3.1.4. Distribution Engineering and Operations

This group consists of the Distribution Dispatchers who are responsible for the operation
of the distribution system. Also included in the group are the Power Quality Engineers
who are responsible for power quality.

Distribution Dispatchers

This group needs information on a per feeder basis, presently the information they get is
very minimal. Watts/VArs and a THD alarm are desired in addition to what they presently
have.

Power Quality Engineers

This group would like to know the voltage at the customer, THD on a per feeder basis and
have some waveforms to analyse once a disturbance is detected.

2.3.1.5. System Protection and Control

These users will use Integration System to acquire pertinent alarm information and fault
information. In addition, this department shall be able to set relay parameters, and will
utilize metering and equipment monitoring information supplied by the Integration
system to plan maintenance activities. This users group consists of the System Relay
Technicians who are responsible for commissioning and maintaining the relays and

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 20

controls in the substation. They are also responsible for outage call-outs. This user group
also includes the Relay Administration Engineers who are responsible for calculating the
settings of the IEDs. They are also responsible for analysing system faults and events.

System Relay Technicians

This users group requires local and remote access to all the IEDs and information
available within the substation. The group requires all the information from the IEDs and
all the status points at the substation.

Relay Administration Engineers

This group requires information from each substation at their remote office. Fault records,
sequence-of-events, setting records and oscillography are the-types data they are
interested in.

2.3.1.6. Revenue Metering

This group consists of the Meter Department who is responsible for revenue metering.

Meter Department

This group would like to remotely communicate with revenue meters installed in the
substations to acquire alarm information associated with the metering equipment, respond
to alarms, and use various metering and equipment information to perform and plan meter
maintenance activities. The information should be available on an auto dial-up basis from
a remote location. When appropriate the revenue meters should be used for other metering
needs within the substation and at the Energy Control Center in lieu of installing
additional meters for those purposes.

2.3.1.7. Substation Maintenance

This group consists of the Maintenance Engineers who are responsible for scheduling and
procuring material for maintaining breakers, transformers, etc. The Superintendents are
responsible for performing the maintenance.

Maintenance Engineers and Superintendents

These users are interested in remotely monitoring equipment as a means of reducing

routine maintenance and visits to substations.

Maintenance Personnel

These users are interested in accessing the information from the monitors at the substation
once a problem has been detected remotely to direct them to the source of the problem.

These users will utilize appropriate Integration System information, such as circuit
breaker and tap changer operations, primarily to plan preventative maintenance on
substation equipment. The Integration System shall track certain parameters to determine
when maintenance of power apparatus is needed, such as monitoring of the circuit breaker
operation counters, cumulative circuit breaker interrupting current and I2t (per pole), and

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 21

the number of fault operations a circuit breaker has experienced.

The Integration System shall also be capable of interfacing to future equipment diagnostic
IEDs that will be used for circuit breaker and transformer monitoring (temperature,
vibration, gas/oil analysis, etc.)

The results of all diagnostics shall be reported to specified remote locations, including the
main control center and maintenance offices.

Any equipment monitoring technology which may be utilized by this group in the future
will provide data through the Integration System.

2.3.1.8. Information Technology (IT)

The members of this group are not going to be users of substation information, but the
group will monitor and maintain the enterprise communication facilities.

2.3.2. Performance Requirements

Based on the user requirements, the types of data and control from the IEDs and devices
that the Integration System will be expected to facilitate are listed. This does not imply
independent instrumentation at every. For example, amps through a high voltage breaker
might be obtained from instruments installed on the high side of the transformer. This
must be addressed on a substation by substation basis. The only requirement is that the
analog readings be obtained in a way that provides an accurate representation of their
values.

The Integration System Host Processor shall store all Analog and Status information
available at the substation, including data from all feeder breaker, transformer, capacitor
control, high side changeover and bus protection relays and meters. This information is
required for both Operational and Non-Operational reasons (such as load forecasting,
engineering studies, outage investigations).

There are several levels of data exchange and requirements associated with the Substation
Integration System.

Level 1 - Field Devices

Each electronic device (relay, meter, PLC, IED, etc) must has internal memory to store all
of the following data: analogue values, status changes, sequence-of-events, power quality
data. This data is typically stored in a FIFO queue and varies in the number of events,
etc., maintained.

Level 2 -Substation Host Processor

The Substation Host Processor shall poll each device (both electronic and other) for
analogue values and status changes at data collection rates consistent with EVN’s
Substation Control System (status points every 2 second, tie - line and generator analogy
every 2 seconds, and remaining analogue values every 5 seconds). The Substation Host
Processor shall maintain a local database of historical data (refer to 2.2.6.1.2) with

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 22

sufficient accessible using SQL, ODBC, or any other EVN approved technology. Tools
shall be provided to allow export of data in ASCII delimited, or any other appropriate
format. Optical or tape backup, of any other appropriate technology, is required for the
periodic storage of all Substation Host information.

Level 3 - EMS

All data required for operational and non-operational purposes shall be communicated to
the EMS via an IEC870-5-101 or ICCP-based communications link from the Substation
Host of Integration System LAN. This data will include, but not be limited to:

1. Transformer 3 phase Amperes

2. Transformer 3 phase Load (kW, kVA, kVAr, pt).

3. Transformer 3 phase Voltage.

4. Transformer Amperes Status

5. Feeder 3 phase Amperes

6. Feeder 3 phase Load (kW, kVA, kVAr, pt).

7. Feeder 3 phase Voltage

8. Feeder Breaker Status.

9. Bus Alarm Status.

10. Capacitor Control Status

11. Sequence-of-Events (only when events occur).

12. Power Quality Events (only when events occur)

Level 4 - Remote Corporate Repository

A data repository is required that will support a main-frame of client-server architecture

of data exchange between the Integration System and corporate users over the corporate
WAN. This provides many users with more up-to-date information without them having
to wait for access using a single line of communications to the Integration System, such
as telephone dial-up through the modem.

2.3.3. Responsibilities of the Integration System

The main responsibilities of the Integration System are as follows:

1. IED interfacing

2. Protocol translation

3. IED and device management

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 23

4. Data exchange and control support for the Data Repository

5. Environment support for user applications

6. Necessary applications

Integration System shall poll IEDs for readings and event notifications in order to
populate the Data Repository. The Integration System processes data and control
communicating requests from users and the Data Repository by communications over the
substation LAN. Integration System shall provide Provider isolation from the IEDs by
providing a generic interface. Most the IED supplier The Data Repository will use a
standard messaging service in its interface. The Data Repository interface shall be
independent of any protocol used to communicate with IEDs. Only as a last resort will a
direct pass through to the IED itself be employed since this requires the Data Repository
to have explicit knowledge of individual supplier’s protocols.

The Data Repository shall be updated with a report-by-exception scheme. The Integration
System, as part of its system management duties, must be aware of the address of each
IED, and any alternate communication paths and/or IEDs that may be utilized to
accomplish a specific function. The Integration System shall be responsible for the
discovery of a failed instrument of IED. The Integration System has to know the status of
all connected IEDs at all times. IEDs that also use a report-by-exception scheme with the
Integration System shall be required to communicate with the Integration System on a
regular basis to ensure continued operation. In the future, IEDs may be able to report by
an unsolicited response mode.

Fig. 3 Integration System Logical Architecture

The substation shall have Integration System architecture as illustrated above. At the
lowest level of the architecture are the IEDs that collect information from, and provide
control capability of, power system field devices. The next level of the architecture is the
substation host processor that has the responsibility of determining the underlying IED
configuration, interfacing with the IEDs and utility enterprise, and providing data to the
Data Repository. The Data Repository is a database with security to different levels of
user access. At the top layer of the architecture are EVN applications that will interact
with the Data Repository.

2.3.5. "Open" System Design

The Integration System shall comply with widely accepted industry de facto standards for
open systems. This will enable EVN to enhance or completely replace the Integration
System, in part or in its entirety, without relying on one Provider for the complete
implementation. Compliance with open system standards will enable the Integration
System and substation IEDs from various competing Providers to interchange and share
information resources.

2.4. Functional Requirements

This section identifies the specific functions must be performed by the Integration
System. The functional requirements are defined at a high level, in functional terms, to
avoid unnecessarily restricting the design to a specific manufacturer's implementation.

2.4.1. Data Acquisition

The Integration System shall be able to acquire all data items available from the IEDs
installed in the substation. In addition, the Integration System shall provide a means for
acquiring inputs that are not available from IEDs, such as electromechanical relays,
station battery alarms, smoke/fire detectors alarms, and intrusion alarms. The Integration
System shall be able to acquire analogy and well as status data.

Spare capacity shall be built into the Integration System data acquisition function for
handling future requirements. Appropriate spare capacity shall be provided in the initial
system of the Substation Host Processor for future IED interfacing, memory (main and
disk), and processing requirements.

2.4.1.1. Analog Data

The Integration System shall be capable of acquiring analogy data such as the voltage,
current, and real and reactive power flows on all three phases of each piece of power
apparatus.

The Integration System shall be able to acquire additional analogy information, such as

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 25

transformer oil and winding temperatures, ambient air temperature, and other such
quantities from sources other than IEDs. The system shall be able to acquire ac inputs
directly without transducers, as well as dc inputs. The system shall be able to acquire high
resolution analogy data to address power quality complaints and evaluate remedial
actions.

The Integration System shall acquire data from the IEDs and direct Input/output (I/O)
facilities by polling. Polling of IED information shall occur every two to five seconds
(similar to polling of EMS information from the substations). To reduce the amount of
data transmitted to external systems, a report-by-exception philosophy shall be applied to
the data transmission process. With report-by-exception, analogy values shall be
transmitted only when the value changes significantly. Each value shall also be stored or
transmitted periodically (e.g., once per hour) even if no significant change is detected
("integrity check").

The analogy accuracy of the supplied integration system shall be one percent (1%) or
better.

As a minimum, the following analogy information is required:

Transformer Information:

1. Three-side ABCN amps (magnitude and phase angle)

2. Three-side ABC volts

3. Three-side Watts

4. Three-side VArs

Feeder Information:

1. ABCN amps (magnitude and phase angle)

2. Watts

3. VArs

Metered/displayed quantities shall include the magnitude and phase angle of all phase
currents (in amperes), all three phase-to-ground voltages (in volts), all three phase-to-
phase voltages (in volts), all single and three phase real and reactive values (in MWs and
MVArs) and peak demand current values.

2.4.1.2. Status Data

The Integration System shall acquire information necessary to determine the status of
power equipment and any other status indications available for retrieval. Examples
include operational alarms such as faulted or overloaded equipment and customer
outages, and maintenance-oriented alarms such as capacitor bank response check failures
and Integration System or IED diagnostic check failures.

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 26

The Integration System shall poll all status inputs at least one times per second, and shall
report all status point changes-of-state on an exception basis (i.e., whenever the status
input changes its stale).

2.4.1.3. Sequence-of-Events (SOE) Information

The Integration System shall be able to time tag substation "events", such as the
occurrence of a relay trip signal or other alarm, and generate reports showing the sequence
in which the time-tagged events occurred. Time-tagging resolution shall be sufficient for
identifying the actual sequence in which major events, such as protective relay pickup and
circuit breaker opening, occurred. Sub-cycle (1 - 10ms resolution) sequence-of-events
timing and inter-substation time synchronization are not required for distribution system
analysis.

The Integration System shall acquire SOE data from each IED and RTU direct I/O device
and shall produce a consolidated listing of events from all IEDs in the proper time
sequence.

A means shall be provided to synchronize the SOE time tagging of all IEDs at a particular
substation and across all substations.

2.4.1.4. Oscillography Information

It shall be possible to display the disturbance data in graphical (oscillography) format.
The system shall include tools to assist in data analysis, such as harmonic analysis. It
shall also be possible to display the value of any cursor-selected point on the waveform in
digital format.

2.4.1.5. Disturbance and Power Quality Information

The Integration System shall acquire information necessary to analyse system
disturbances, such as sequence-of-events reports, oscillography waveforms, etc. Is shall
be possible to transfer the disturbance and power quality information on demand to
selected locations (e.g., relay engineering office) for further analysis. The system shall
capture disturbance data all three phases.

The primary users of disturbance information are the reliability engineers in distribution
and the power quality engineers. Protection engineers will also use the data to diagnose
protective performance. Maintenance is also interested in harmonic information because
of the large concentration of distribution and station capacitors. Processed disturbance
data, such as estimated fault locations and magnitudes, will also be of interest to System
Operators.

The following time tagged information is required:

1. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) alarm

2. Voltage sags/swell

3. V, A, f

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 27

4. W, VAr (+/-)

5. Wh, VArh (+/-) class 0.5

2.4.1.6. Pass-Through Capability to IEDs

If necessary, the Integration System shall provide a virtual circuit each IED connected to
the system to allow a client to access the IEDs individually. The virtual circuit should
allow the client to issue directives and receive responses from the IED as if directly
connected to the device. When operating in this mode, the Integration System should not
interpret any directive or response to or from the IEDs.

2.4.2. Control

The Integration System shall be able to consolidate control functions that are currently
performed by various separate control systems and programmable logic controllers
(PLCs). The Integration System shall be used to accomplish automatic control functions
that are not time-critical, such as transformer tap changer control, capacitor and voltage
control, and other such functions. The system shall not be used to execute time-critical
control functions, such as fault isolation. Such time-critical functions shall be
accomplished directly by protective relay IEDs independent of the Integration System.

The Integration System shall be able to execute complex control logic to perform
substation control functions such as block of transfer, load balancing, and voltage control.
The control algorithms shall be performed in a standard high-level language (such as C+
+), standard ladder logic, or other type of high-level language.

In new stations, local automatic control (e.g., reclosing, not voltage control) shall be
provided by the protective relay IEDs or by programmable controllers (depends on the
complexity of the controls). In retrofit applications, existing electromechanical relays will
remain in service for performing local automatic control functions. Redundant automatic
control shall not be required; however, no single point of failure shall disable both local
control and SCADA.

2.4.2.1. Direct Point Control

In addition to the control actions executed via IEDs, the Integration System shall be able
to perform direct output operations. The Integration System shall include momentary
control outputs and latching control outputs. Each momentary output shall provide a
contact closure (pulse) that shall have programmable pulse duration. Latching outputs
shall remain in a given state until a subsequent command changes the control output state.
These momentary and latching outputs shall form the basis of the following types of
control outputs:

On/Off Device Control

The Integration System shall be able to perform "On/Off" control actions using
complementary pairs of control outputs.

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 28

Raise/Lower Control

The Integration System shall be able to perform "Raise/Lower" control actions using
complementary pairs of contact outputs. One contact output shall perform the raise
control action, a second output shall perform the lower control action.

Setpoint Control

The Integration System shall accept setpoint control commands, and then issue
appropriate digital or analogy commands to achieve the desired setpoint.

Select-Before-Operate Control

All manual control requests initiated from the Integration System locally in the substation
or remotely via the Integration System SCADA function shall follow a Select-Before-
Operate (SBO) procedure. This procedure is recommended to protect against inadvertent
execution of unwanted control actions. The SBO procedure shall verify that the correct
device has been selected via feedback from a hardware indicator associated with the
selected device. The user shall then be able to proceed with or cancel the requested action.
For all control actions, except raise/lower type control actions, the device selection shall
be automatically cancelled when the requested action is completed. For raise/lower
commands, it shall not be necessary to re-select the controlled device for each step of a
series of raise/lower pulses (jog control). The device selection command shall be
transmitted by the remote console or local user interface.

2.4.2.2. Local Control and Indication

The Integration System user interface shall enable substation personnel to perform
switching and other control actions from the substation control house away from power
apparatus being controlled. Conventional electromechanical control switches and
indicators, supported by hardwired control logic, shall be used as backup to the
Integration System. The conventional back-up may be located nearby controlled device.

The primary user interface in the station shall be the Integration System user interface. A
backup control and indication facility in the station, using hardwired controls must be
applied.

The Integration System shall provide control for all devices in the substation and its
associated feeders. Controllable devices include circuit breakers, substation and feeder
voltage regulators, transformer tap changers, substation and feeder capacitor banks, line
reclosers, and other such devices.

2.4.3. Application Platform

The Integration System shall perform automatic control functions on power system
apparatus based on analogy and status inputs acquired by the system. This capability shall
be used to provide automatic control functions that are not readily implementable in
hardwired logic, nor available in commercial IEDs.

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 29

In new stations local automatic control (e.g., reclosing) shall be provided by the IEDs or
the PLCs depending on the complexity of the station and the particular apparatus being
controlled. In retrofit applications existing electromechanical relays may remain in
service. Redundant automatic control is not required; however, no single point of failure
shall disable both automatic control functions:

Low Side Bus Transfer

Present design criteria for 22kV buses specify the application of low side bank Motor
Operated Switches (MOS), as well as low side bus tie MOSs. Low side bus transfers
occur only after the faulted transformer is isolated (by opening the high side circuit
switcher and low side MOS), and the feeder breakers on the respective bus are opened.
Once the transformer is isolated and the feeder load is removed, the low side bus tie MOS
may close and energize the bus. Hot bus monitor, after a 10 second time delay, will reset
the feeder trip lockout relay and allow the feeder breakers to automatically reclose.

Feeder Transfer

This function is similar to automatic transformer load transfer, in that, in the event of
transformer failure, or high or low-side bus failure, feeder transfer will be possible
through closing of a low side bus tie switch. This low side bus tie switch or breaker is
physically between the two feeder lines. Failure of the feeder breaker to clear a fault is
backed up by the transformer overcurrent scheme. Transformer overcurrent should not
allow feeder transfer to occur.

Transformer Load Tap Changing

Various functions associated with the transformer load tap changer include: voltage
regulation through present band with set time delays; tap position monitoring with high
and low limit alarms; voltage reduction (scheme actuated by SCADA command to force
voltage regulators of Beckwith manufacture) to lower the bus voltage; and remote-control
operation. The tap changer motor run time should also be monitored.

Lock-Out Tripping Functions

Various trip and non-reclose functions are required to isolate faulted equipment in the
substation. For example, after transformer differential and sudden pressure faults, certain
bus differential scheme faults, breaker failure, and transfer and feeder trip lockouts.

There are cases where the high side MOS (motor operated switch) of a faulted transformer
isolates the transformer. Once the MOS opens, its 89/a contacts isolate the trips on the
high side breakers and the 89/b contacts bypass the interlocks allowing reclose.

Underfrequency Load Shedding

In the event of loss of generation and decline of frequency, underfrequency relays will
operate to shed those selected feeders to prevent total black out of the system. Control of
trip and lockout of certain distribution feeder breakers is required with selectable time
delays according to various underfrequency settings. Time delays are typically set from

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 30

12 cycles up to 12 seconds. EVN relay settings can differ in to 4-time settings and range
over 12 frequency settings with a selector switch on each feeder. The select switch
provides F1, F2, F3, F4 and NO TRIP positions. Example of typical settings could be: F1
= 49.7 Hz, F2 = 48.8 Hz, F3 = 48.5 Hz, F4=48 Hz at time delay of 12 cycles. Lockout
relays such as the LOR type are assigned to the F1, F2, F3 and F4 positions, and are
remotely resettable via SCADA. Once the lockout relay; are reset, the feeder breakers are
allowed to automatically reclose.

Emergency Load Shedding

Remote control of the underfrequency lockout relays is required to shed load for operating
emergencies

Transformer Hot Spot Monitor

An interface to the transformer winding temperature monitor is required for three different
operation settings: the first setting to operate the first stage of radiator fans and/or oil
pumps, the second setting to operate the second stage of radiator fans and/or oil pumps,
and the third setting for local and remote alarm indication. This alarm is labelled "major
transformer alarm". On-line hot spot calculation is required.

Adaptive Distribution Relaying

Control is required to remotely change a distribution feeder relaying scheme between

fuse-blow and fuse-save breaker operation. The fuse blow scheme requires the phase and
ground instantaneous trip elements of the protection relay to be disabled, and the ground
time overcurrent setting to be increased above the normal setting. This philosophy forces
the fuse to isolate the fault before the breaker operates.

The fuse-save scheme requires enabling of the breaker instantaneous tripping elements
such that the breaker operates (and in some cases recloses) before the downstream fuse
isolates the fault.

The distribution dispatcher may use adaptive relaying during a storm in order to switch
from the fuse-blow mode to the fuse-save mode. This application will have an automatic
time-out feature in SCADA to return the scheme to normal fuse-blow mode after a certain
time period. Right-Of-Way tag initiation (auto reclose disabled) converts to fuse save
automatically.

Load Balancing

The Integration System shall have the capability to control the Distribution Automation
(DA) system feeder switches. The system shall include a function that shall assist the
System Operator in balancing the load on each feeder.

Volt/VAr Control

The Integration System shall be able to control transformer tap changers, regulators, and
capacitor banks located on the feeder and in the substation in order to control voltage and

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 31

reactive power flow. Automatic capacitor bank switching based on monitored reactive
power flow, voltage conditions, and other information shall be provided. Remote manual
control of these devices by the System Operators shall also be provided. The capacitors
associated with each substation shall be switched in the order specified in the capacitor
sequence list downloaded to the Integration System. The Integration System shall replace
the existing local capacitor bank control. The Integration System shall conduct periodic
performance tests on capacitor bank responses during off-peak periods and shall identify
capacitor banks that are not performing as intended. During these performance tests, VAr
flow on all three phases shall be monitored to verify that the capacitors are switching and
operating correctly. The voltage control function may depend on the Integration System,
and redundancy is not required.

2.4.4. Alarm Processing

Some alarms at the substation could be grouped such that if any point in the group
changes state into the alarm state, the group status point changes state into the alarm state.
Operators at substation or a person sent to the substation can tell locally which point
caused group point to alarm. Some alarm filtering will be possible in the Substation
Integration System.

One of the main functions of the Integration System shall be the processing of analogue
data and equipment status data to determine whether alarm conditions exist. Upon
detecting an alarm condition, the Integration System shall forward the alarm information
to the individual or department responsible for responding to the alarm. Alarm conditions
to be monitored by the Integration System shall include operational alarms, such as
faulted or overloaded equipment and customer outages, and maintenance-oriented alarms,
such as capacitor bank response check failures and Integration System or IED diagnostic
check failures. All substation alarms shall be available on the Integration System and
shall be displayable via the user interface.

As a minimum, the Integration System shall perform the following alarm processing
functions:

1. process the "raw" status and analogy data to identify possible alarm conditions

2. perform alarm filtering to determine whether the alarm is valid given the system
conditions, assign a priority to the alarm ranging from high-priority to information-only.

3. group data related to a single alarm condition under a single identifier to avoid multiple
indications of the same condition

4. disseminate the alarm information to appropriate system users at various location

throughout EVN, such as the system control centers and the various maintenance offices.
It shall be possible to direct the alarm to specific consoles within the control centre that
are responsible for dealing with the alarm.

5. highlight the alarm information on all Integration System displays containing the
alarmed item

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 32

6. record the alarm in the Integration System's historical database.

7. auto paging of alarms to specific personnel.

It shall be possible to automatically inhibit any alarm based on on-line system conditions
("rule-based" alarms). Alarm processing filters shall be provided that allow logical pre-
processing of alarms using ordinary Boolean logical operations and time delays before
they are transmitted to the recipients. A complete set of arithmetic and Boolean (logical)
functions shall be available in the Integration System for performing operations on
Integration System variables to determine whether the alarm is valid under the current
system conditions. It shall also be possible to manually inhibit selected alarms.

The Integration System shall provide enough information to enable the System Operator
to determine the type and priority of the alarm but shall not overburden the System
Operator with too many details. Initially, the operator shall receive a single alarm to
indicate a single alarm event (i.e., do not want the System Operator to be burdened with
multiple alarms for a single event). However, the System Operator shall be able to request
additional levels of detail about any alarm (must be able to "drill down" into alarm to
determine the source).

Alarms shall be grouped by department (operations, communications, maintenance,

engineering, etc.) and equipment type (transformers, circuit breakers, capacitors, relay
trouble/failure, etc.). Alarms shall be reported to the appropriate organization. For
example, an uncommented circuit breaker change of state shall be reported to the System
Operators. However, the maintenance of metering organization shall be notified if two
redundant meter readings are inconsistent.

Alarms shall be prioritized as "high" or "low" priority alarms. High priority alarms shall
be annunciating in a more attention-getting manner than low priority alarms. Low priority
alarms that are not acknowledged or responded to in a timely manner shall be elevated to
high-priority alarms after a specified time period.

Alarm pre-processing filters and functional groupings shall be easily changeable to adapt
to organizational changes.

Certain predetermined alarms shall be designated as "incidents". Incidents are important

alarms requiring follow-up action and dispatching of field personnel to the site of the
alarm for inspection and/or corrective action on the device associated with the incident.
The Integration System shall include an Incident Management function for storing
information regarding each incident, including the following:

1. Time and date of the alarm

2. Description of the alarm

3. Data entry area for manually inserting an incident report, including name of person
dispatched, description of problem found, corrective action taken, time and date device
restored to service, etc.

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 33

An incident query function shall be provided to enable the user to request historical
information about similar previous incidents.

2.4.5. Data Processing

Some data filtering, data conversion and processing (calculations for other data variables
of for applications such as distribution automation) will be required locally in the
Substation Integration System. A local data repository shall be required for on-line and
historical data (similar to that in RTUs). Other repositories of this data within the EVN,
but separate to the Integration System, are not included in the scope of the Integration
System, however interface and data exchange between the Integration System and other
EVN users must be taken into consideration. It is also important to consider the need for
possible direct data exchange among Integration Systems without being directed through
the corporate repository. The EVN repository is a distributed client-server architecture.

The Integration System shall support the following types of data processing:

1. Scanned Analog Data

2. Scanned Status Data

3. Scanned Accumulator Data

4. Calculated Analog Data

5. Calculated Status Data

6. Non-telemetered Data

7. Database

The Integration System shall be able to calculate "pseudo" variables based on the values
of on-line inputs acquired by the system. For example, indications of current and VAr
phase imbalance shall be calculated. Pseudo variables shall receive the same processing as
scanned inputs. That is, it shall be possible to compare each pseudo variable against alarm
limits, display and log the values of pseudo variables, and other such functions. The
system shall include a variety of arithmetic and logic functions that can be used to define
the calculations.

2.4.6. Data Repository

2.4.6.1. Local Repository

On-Line Database

The on-line database must be designed for performance as an integral part of the third-
party UI software product.

Database construction refers to the definition of initial database structure, population of

the structure with initial contents, and revision of the structure when necessary. Database
maintenance refers to the subsequent addition of new database contents and the

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 34

modification of existing contents. The Provider's database construction and maintenance

tools shall allow construction and maintenance of all portions of the database that make
up the Integration System. The execution of all the construction and maintenance tasks
shall be via the local user PC as well as any remote PC with appropriate privileges in an
interactive fashion. Data entry shall use terminology and data formats oriented to the user
rather than to the programs. All database entries shall be checked for
reasonability/validity before being accepted. Maximum effective use shall be made of
menu selections, dialog boxes, list boxes, text boxes, and cursor "poke point" entries. In
modification-type actions, old values shall be displayed in conjunction with the request
for new values. All modifications shall be maintained in an edit audit trail log. The log
shall be displayable on a user interface PC monitor and output to a printer upon demand.
The existence of on-line update facilities implies the almost exclusive use of table-driven
logic for implementing all application programs. No modifications to program logic,
automatic or otherwise, shall be required for performing database update/maintenance.
Further, the update servicing software itself shall be table-driven and shall be modular in
structure, thus allowing easy modification for the incorporation of new data types or
conventions. It shall also be possible to perform the above functions via removable
magnetic media, removable optical media, and/or bulk memory file input, in a batch
mode environment, for large-scale changes.

Historical Information Subsystem (HIS)

In its data collection function, the HIS function shall monitor specified incoming
information, perform calculations on some of the data, and store the incoming and
associated calculated data in read/write bulk memory. While in the read/write bulk
memory, the information shall be subject to review and editing by authorized local users
and by authorized remote users.

The HIS shall collect the specified individual telemetered and calculated data (status,
analogy and pulse accumulator) with quality codes at the following data collection rates,
as a minimum:

1. 5 seconds

2. One minute

3. Five minutes

4. Hourly

5. Daily

The assignment of individual points or groups of points to these data collection rates shall
be via database edit. The capability to archive the on-line history file to removable storage
media, such as optical or cartridge tape, shall be provided. All data shall be saved with the
corresponding quality codes. The ability to edit any value in the Historical Database shall
be provided.

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 35

The HIS database shall be relational and maintained by a Provider-furnished commercial

RDBMS, such as Oracle, Sybase, etc and must be independent from HMI. The data in the
HIS database shall be accessible using the latest SQL standard for relational database
access.

It shall be possible to perform predefined calculations on any collected data at specified

periods. It shall also be possible to perform further calculations on previously calculated
data and on constants.

The system shall be able to store up to two years of averaged transformer voltage, VArs,
and currents recorded in one-minute intervals.

Each IED can supply hundreds of points, and as the number of IEDs in a substation
increases, and as the number of automated substations increases, a data management
problem quickly occurs. Filtering of the data is necessary at the IED interface, as well as
within the Substation Host Processor.

2.4.6.2. Remote Corporate Repository

The System Integration shall support a dedicated Corporate Data Repository that is
accessible by users throughout EVN. This data repository shall enable users to access data
while maintaining a "firewall" for substation control and operation functions.

2.4.7. Time Synchronization

The Integration System internal clock time at each substation shall be maintained to with
one millisecond of GPS time. To accomplish this, the system shall include a Time
Reference Unit (TRU) each substation for outputting time signals to the Integration
System that are synchronized to GPS satellite time.

The Integration System shall include the TRU antenna plus all mounting hardware needed
to support and adjust/position this antenna. The Integration System shall also include all
cables, connectors, repeaters (in-line amplifiers), and other equipment needed to transfer
the time signals from the TRU.

A Commonly-used time code output format, such as IRIG-B122, BITS or equivalent shall
be used by the TRU.

During times when no satellite is in view or being tracked, output time drift shall not
exceed one-hundred microseconds per hour.

The TRU shall include an alphanumeric display for displaying the time, satellite tracking
status, and other setup parameters. A keypad shall be mounted on the front panel of the
time reference unit for entering all required setup parameters.

The EVN EMS does not currently supply SOE, however the Integration System should be
able to support EMS SOE in the future.

2.4.8. Device Tagging

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 36

The Integration System shall provide the capability of tagging a device, telemetered or
non-telemetered, via a graphic display. A device tag represents a System Operator action
to draw visual attention to a device symbol on a station display indicating that control is
either inhibited or cautioned for that device.

Each tag shall have a specific colour associated with it that must conform to EVN
Switching and Tagging Requirements. It shall be possible to place at least ten tags of any
type on a point. Each placement of a tag shall result in a single entry in a chronologically
ordered Tag Summary.

The Integration System's local user interface shall include a Tagging function that enables
authorized users to place "Do Not Operate" and "Caution" electronic tags on any
controllable device. Integration System control actions shall be inhibited for all tagged
devices. The Tagging function also shall allow the user to enter the following tag
information:

1. Job/Permit Number

2. Date

3. Purpose

4. "Tagged by" and "Tagged for" Information

The tagging process shall be consistent with EVN's established tagging policies.

There are four colours are assigned for four kind of job and allowance as follows:

1. Red means "There are people working on equipment, operation is prohibited".

When Red tags are applied all operations of this equipment from HMI are prohibited.

2. Yellow means "Hot-line work is in progress, auto-reclose is prohibited". When

Yellow tag is applied the auto-reclose function of this circuit breaker is disabled. Yellow
tag cannot apply to a breaker unless the reclosing is blocked. Once the Yellow Tag has
been applied, the reclosing cannot put back into service until the Yellow tag is removed.

3. Purple Tags are used for sectionalized lines. The Purple tag indicates that there is
something must be checked before operating sectionalized circuit breaker. Once the
purple tag is applied the operation of circuit breaker is prohibited unless the operator
confirms his acknowledgement of this information.

4. Blue tags are used for operator to provide information comments.

2.4.9. User Interface

The Substation Integration System User Interface (UI) must be simple to use, since there
will be users who are not familiar with the substation and are not familiar with computers.
Displays showing metering data can eliminate panel mount meters. In addition to analogy
points, status and control points will be displayed on the user interface. The control points
shall have the capability of two step control (including an "are you sure" step). The

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 37

Integration System shall have the necessary UI tools to effectively build and maintain the
displays. The UI must be linked directly to the on-line and historic databases.

The section will identify what types of data shall be displayed in the substation at all
times and upon request, and what control capabilities shall be available via the Integration
System displays and other user interface equipment. Specific displays that shall be
supplied (substation one-lines, control panel mimic, alarm annunciator mimic, etc.) and
user interface equipment (keyboards, push-button panels, touch-screen trackball, mouse,
etc.) shall be discussed.

The Integration System displays provided in the substation shall be similar in appearance
to the EMS control centre displays. This will enable the System Operators to
communicate more effectively with substation personnel when questions arise about
displayed data. However, the user interface design shall be intuitive so that persons who
rarely use the Integration System (e.g., lineament who are occasionally called upon during
an emergency to perform substation switching) can use the system effectively with
minimal confusion.

Of equal or greater importance than the display appearance itself is the display hierarchy.
Integration System users shall be able to perform all essential activities from a few
displays, so that the users do not have to do a great deal of switching between displays
(manoeuvring or navigating) to accomplish their work. The Integration System user
interface shall provide a convenient means to go directly to an appropriate display given
the current alarm situation.

The display hierarchy shall be designed to minimize the amount of typing needed to
access specified displays and information. A point and click (as with a mouse) design
shall be used in a windows environment. Menu selection of commonly used functions and
other such techniques shall be utilized to satisfy this requirement.

Regardless of the design chosen, a common "look and feel" shall be established for all
displays. To accomplish this, a widely used Graphical User Interface (GUI) standard, such
as Motif, shall be employed.

EVN field personnel shall be involved in determining what information shall be on the
different screens (e.g., alarm annunciation, historical trending, diagnostic reporting,
sequence-of-events, etc.).

2.4.9.1. Substation One-Line Displays

The Integration System shall include substation one-line displays that are similar in
appearance to the one-line displays available on EVN's EMS. This is to avoid confusion
during interaction between System Operator and field personnel. All displays shall be
designed to minimize typing for user input. These displays shall consist of a graphical
representation of all substation power apparatus and their connections, upon which is
superimposed dynamic values and equipment status information acquired by the
Integration System. Each power apparatus represented on the diagram shall include a

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 38

target area for displaying a menu of control actions available for the device.

2.4.9.2. Metering Displays

The functionality provided by analogue panel meters (voltmeters, ammeters, wattmeter,
VArmeters, etc.) shall be included in the Integration System. Displays shall be provided
for viewing the metered values in a variety of formats, such as digital single value
displays, tabular trends, strip-chart trends, and on-line diagrams.

The Integration System metering displays shall enable substation personnel to view the
following three-phase quantities:

1. bus voltages

2. feeder and neutral current, kW and kVArs, kW and kVARh

3. transformer high-side and low-side voltage and transformer loading (kW, kVAr)

Due to the importance of displaying metered values at all times in the substation, local
backup metering shall be provided for all metered parameters. Integral displays on
protective relay IEDs or metering IEDs may be used as backup metering devices.

The primary metering (i.e., the metering provided in the control centre) shall be from the
Integration System user interface. The metering information contained in these displays
shall be obtained from IEDs. The metering IEDs shall serve as local backup meters.
Where backup sources of metering data are available, they shall be utilized as needed
during failure of the primary source, and shall be compared with primary meter data
sources to diagnose meter calibration problems.

2.4.9.3. Alarm Displays

The Integration System shall include alarm displays for viewing equipment alarm
information. Several alarm display formats shall be provided, including a tabular display
listing alarms in chronological order and a graphical alarm display that is similar in
appearance and operation to the traditional alarm annunciator display. In addition to these
dedicated alarm displays, any equipment that is currently experiencing an alarm condition
shall be highlighted on all displays on which the device appears using colour, special
characters and fonts, blinking, and other forms of element highlighting.

The Integration System user interface shall include a convenient means to enable the user
to obtain detailed information about the alarm condition. For example, it shall be possible
to obtain a listing of recent alarms, a breakdown of the current status of the parameters
that comprise the alarmed point (for alarms that represent a combination of related
points), or a detailed description explanation of the alarm and the recommended course of
action.

2.4.9.4. Alarm Annunciator

A local station annunciator is required. Preferably, the annunciator will be processor-
based, with LEDs serving as the annunciators. Redundancy is not required, but no single

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 39

failure shall disable both the annunciator and the SCADA interface. Annunciator
functions and automatic control functions (such as reclosing and station automatic
reconfiguration control) may be implemented in the same processor as long as the
Integration System SCADA function is not disabled by processor failure.

2.4.9.5. Substation Log

It shall be possible to log any piece of information available in the Integration System
(loading, temperatures, ambient conditions, relay targets, etc.) at a specified periodicity.
The log shall be printed or transmitted to the control center on demand.

In addition to the periodic logs referenced above, a manual log shall be available for
documenting all activities performed in the station, including routine inspections,
emergency response, construction, logging times when entering and exiting a substation,
and other such activities. The manual log shall record the time and date of each activity,
the name of the individual responsible for the activity, and space for entering the reason
for the entry and other significant information.

There is one substation log book at each substation. Maintenance operations at each
breaker are manually logged. Switching orders are also logged. With the implementation
of integration in the substation, the switching orders can be automated with the substation
integration system. In fact, switching orders written by dispatchers in the control center
can be downloaded to the substation. With substation integration, the maintenance
operations at each breaker will continue to be manually logged.

2.4.10. Communications and Communication Interfaces

2.4.10.1. IEDs and Protocols

The IED interfaces shall enable the Integration System to periodically acquire any value
or status point stored internally in the IED. For example, the Integration System shall be
able to acquire three-phase current and voltage values, metering data, circuit breaker
status information, and other information stored internally in feeder protection IEDs. The
Integration System shall also able to determine the operating status of each IED.

The Integration System shall support all communication protocols used by existing IEDs.
In addition, the Integration System shall include support for standard communication
protocols, such as those currently being defined under the IEC61850, IEC61850/UCA
2.0, Modbus TCP, DNP TCP, IEC 870-5-104.

2.4.10.2. EMS Interface

The Integration System shall include an interface to the EVN EMS (IEC870-5-101) that
shall enable the system operators to monitor and control each substation via the existing
EMS user interface. The EMS interface may be from the LAN, or directly from the
Substation Host Processor.

The Integration System shall be able to periodically transfer to the EMS the value of any
or all analogue variables stored in the Integration System database at a specified time

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 40

interval. This time interval shall be adjustable between two seconds and one minute in
one-second increments.

All devices that are controllable via the Integration System's local user interface shall be
capable of control via the EMS user interface. Supervisory control commands issued from
the EMS user interface shall be transmitted to the EVN system as they occur. The
supervisory control procedure shall follow the select-before-execute procedure similar to
that used for local control. That is, the system operator shall be required to confirm proper
device selection before the actual control command is issued.

The Integration System shall include an EMS Interface Control function that shall enable
the user to specify which substation variables should be transmitted to the EMS and the
time intervals between transfers.

2.4.10.3. Interface to Distribution Management System

No separate interface is required.

2.4.10.4. Remote Dial-In Capabilities

The Integration System shall include communication facilities that enable authorized
EVN personnel to access the system via dial-in telephone. These remote dial-in facilities
shall enable the user to obtain data and alarms from the Integration System database,
execute diagnostic programs, and retrieve the results of diagnostic programs. The
execution of control functions via the dial-in or other non-dispatcher facilities, shall not
be permitted.

2.4.11. Security Access

Information and control security must be a top priority in the Integration System. For
local and remote Integration System access, the Integration System shall initially employ
measures such as dial-back modems and passwords to provide an appropriate level of
security. Particular emphasis must be placed on securing access to station information and
apparatus control function via non-dedicated communication facilities, such as dial-up
telephones. The security system must guard against access to critical control functions
and sensitive information by unauthorized personnel as well as inadvertent control actions
and setting modifications by authorized personnel. Future installations shall utilize EVN
user ID (EVN "OT#") links for user access with authorization from the EVN enterprise
network.

Apparatus control shall be limited to operators in the appropriate system control center.
Dedicated communication facilities shall be used for performing remote control functions.
Access to control functions via dial-up telephone, or other non-dispatcher facilities, shall
be inhibited.

The system requires both security (to exclude unauthorized access) and accountability. It
shall be possible to reconstruct the change history of all components of the system,
including the IEDs, and identify who had "secure level" access to which IEDs at any

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 41

given point in time. Access to various level of control or system reconfiguration must be
assigned to different access authorization levels. For example, a relay engineer has an
authorization level to change relay settings, but should not have authorization to control
breakers. This authorization is reserved for personnel whose job it is to operate the station
equipment. Access will be logged to provide accountability and documentation of control
actions or system configuration changes. User access to the Substation Host shall be
defined in the existing EVN user ID database, transmitted across the EVN WAN, client-
server network, and managed by IT.

The Integration System must include a Security Administration function to assign

information access and control rights to various individuals, office locations, and
consoles.

2.4.12. System Maintenance Tools

The Integration System shall include maintenance tools that will enable appropriate
personnel to modify the Integration System and IED parameters and settings. A security
mechanism must be provided to prevent unauthorized personnel from using the system
maintenance tools to alter the system.

Currently, only technicians in the System Protection and Control organization are
authorized to modify the settings of in-service IEDs. However, the Integration System
design shall not preclude the future authorization of additional departments, such as
protection engineers in the construction/engineering organization, to perform such
changes.

The Integration System shall include a means of providing accountability for all changes.
That is, it shall be possible to reconstruct the history of changes to all settings. The
history shall describe the changes made with "before" and "after" values, and shall
identify the time and date of the change and the person or organization who made the
change.

2.4.13. Integration System Configuration and Management

The provider shall provide a Software Configuration system to define the elements and
the associated attributes of the applications provided in the Integration System. Source
definitions for the applications' elements (such as source code, display formats, etc.), the
residency requirements (such as local, shared) and any access attributes shall be defined
through the Software Configuration system. Source definitions for all elements of an
application shall be maintained in disk files under a code management system. The code
management system shall, as a minimum:

1. Manage source code and binary images

2. Allow tracking of code changes by date, author, and purpose

3. Support multiple teams of programmers working concurrently on the same modules

4. Provide an efficient linker.

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 42

5. Procedures for completely regenerating executable images and run-time files shall
allow individual applications to be rebuilt and installed within one or more application
system contexts. Applications shall be made part of any application system by a
straightforward procedure that requires no modification to application sources.

Self-diagnostics shall be performed by all Integration System components and all troubles
and failures detected shall be alarmed.

The Integration System shall include both on-line and off-line diagnostics and test
programs for components of the system, and permit the System Manager to analyse the
failures or errors. These off-line diagnostics shall provide extensive facilities for printout
and user interaction.

A different class of diagnostics shall be provided that operates while the system is on-
line, but may require that the hardware being tested is off-line. Using the configuration
control displays, it shall be possible to declare hardware off-line and unavailable. Is shall
be possible to instruct the system to perform the appropriate diagnostics interactively.

The Provider shall provide diagnostic and/or test programs similar to those described
above, for all major hardware items used in the user interface and for data acquisition and
control.

Diagnostic program load modules shall be provided for loading from more than one input
device so that failed devices may be tested.

A stand-alone diagnostic monitor shall also be provided for each processing unit in the
system. The stand-alone monitor shall be loaded after the processing unit has been
isolated from the system. It shall provide the capability to run off-line diagnostics to
troubleshoot failures on that process associated peripheral hardware.

2.4.14. Communications Network Configuration and Management

Services shall be provided for the local and remote configuration, control, and monitoring
of the whole network and communications resources to ensure transportation of data
between process of systems in a distributed data processing environment. This includes
the management of the IEDs on the Local Area Network (LAN). Network configuration
and control products shall be accessible from the node in the computing network and shall
be capable of managing resources anywhere in the network. Network configuration and
control products shall allow any computing network element (processor, peripheral, or

2.4.15. Reliability, Redundancy, Failover, Backup

The substation shall continue to be operable if the Integration System master PC fails.
There shall be no single point of failure that will cause the substation to be inoperable.
Adequate local monitoring and control shall be maintained.

The Integration System will interface with substation equipment that performs functions
that are vital for personnel safety, power apparatus protection, and system reliability.
Therefore, it is critical that Integration System Failures and operation do not disable or
degrade the performance of primary station monitoring and control functions.

Critical functions (protection, primary control function, metering, etc.) shall not be
disabled by a single failure. To accomplish this requirement, the Integration System shall
have the following characteristics:

1. Protective relays shall not depend on the Integration System to detect faults or execute
"time-critical" switching and control actions necessary to isolate the faulted equipment.
"Time-critical" actions are those for which high speed is essential to prevent damage to
power apparatus and/or avoid system stability problems.

2. The Integration System may be used to execute control logic, such as automatic
failover following a transformer fault, which is not considered "time-critical".

3. The Integration System's user interface (UI) shall be the primary facility for metering in
the substation. Local backup meters that do not depend on the Integration System shall
also be provided. Metering displays that are an integral part of protective relay or
metering IEDs are acceptable for backup purposes.

4. The Integration System's user interface (substation computer) shall be independent of

the SCADA interface to the system control center. If the SCADA interface is out of
service, it shall still be possible to utilize the Integration System's user interface so that
EVNHCMC does not have to rely solely on local backup metering under these conditions.

If elements of the Integration System are redundant, there shall be no failure mode that
would disable both redundant elements. Redundant elements of the Integration System

110kV Binh Tri Đong Substation and Branch line

Section I.3: Technical Specifications – Control, Protection and Metering Equipment I.3- 44

should be powered by separate independent power sources (e.g., separate battery or

station service circuit), where such power sources exist.

A "fail-safe" design shall be provided (i.e., there shall be no failure mode that causes the
Integration System to initiate an undesired control action, such as tripping or closing a
circuit breaker). In addition, Integration System failures shall not disable local metering
and control functions at the substation.

The Provider shall provide for the capability to enable a system restart. All programs shall
be activated and/or scheduled according to a restart. Initialization of all front-end
processors/computers, if used, shall be performed automatically. Manual intervention
shall not be required.

A "warm" restart shall be automatically initiated after a processing unit power shutdown.

Upon occurrence of any restart, the restart software shall set a group of indicators in the
system data base; these indicators may then be reset by individual programs to
acknowledge the fact that a restart has occurred since their task execution.

After a system restart, a programmer-specified display shall be brought up on the

processing unit.

2.6. Hardware Requirements

2.6.1. Construction and Installation Requirements

2.6.1.1. Power Supply

Microprocessor-based devices, such as the Integration System and the substation IEDs,
require a reliable ac or dc power source for continuous operation. This represents a
significant change from many electromechanical protection and metering devices, which
generally do not require a power supply. Some exceptions to this exist. For example, an
electromechanical reclosing relay requires a power supply to operate an electric motor for
timing purposes. But generally speaking, electromechanical devices are not powered.

Ideally, the Integration System and substation IEDs could utilize existing DC power
sources. Most protection and metering IEDs have been designed to operate correctly at
plus or minus 20% off the nominal power supply voltage, and are therefore able to
operate correctly during the station battery voltage dips that accompany circuit breaker
tripping. Other microprocessor-based devices, such as the substation computer, may not
be able to continue operating during such disturbances, and thereby may require a
separate power source. The station service ac source, which will be interrupted during
faults on the station service transformer supply circuit, may not be reliable enough for
powering the Integration System.

The Integration System equipment in the substation shall be supplied by the substation dc
battery. Other equipment which require AC power supply, such as Host Computers, shall
get the source from station battery through an industrial inverter. If the station battery
does not contain sufficient capacity for handling the Integration System, the substation
battery should be replaced. The Integration System shall not place a ground on the station
battery.
