Performance Comparison Of A Permissive Overreach Transfer Trip (Pott) Scheme Over Iec 61850 And Hard-Wire, José Luis Ruiz May 2012

Performance Comparison Of A Permissive Overreach Transfer Trip (Pott) Scheme Over Iec 61850 And Hard-Wire, José Luis Ruiz

Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61850 is a standard that allows communication integration of systems built from multivendor power protection relays. The standard describes the rules for integration of control, measurement, and protection functions within a power system network at the substation control levels. The standard was created with the idea of eliminating wiring in the substation and facilitating the communication between different relay vendors. This study implemented IEC 61850 standard in a Permissive Overreach Transfer Trip (POTT) scheme to protect a 166 mile, 230 kV transmission line using Generic Object Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE) messaging in the laboratory. Two …


Transformer Load Tap Changer Control Using Iec 61850 Goose Messaging, Nelli Sichwart May 2012

Transformer Load Tap Changer Control Using Iec 61850 Goose Messaging, Nelli Sichwart

Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

The research of this thesis implements Load Tap Changer (LTC) control using the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61850 standard in a laboratory environment. In particular, Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) messages are used to facilitate all required communication. A set of two Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. (SEL) devices is used for the demonstration. IEC 61850 has many benefits including great flexibility and improved interoperability and promises to be more widely implemented in the United States with time as is already the case in many other parts of the world. This research shows that LTC operation using IEC 61850 is …
