BUSBAR DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION
 
The complex digital busbar differential protection of type OGYD-EP is a member of the device family named EuroProt. This short description contains special data of this type. General and common features of EuroProt family can be found in the EuroProt system information sheet. Accordingly it is proposed to study both this short description and the system information sheet, in order to get a clear picture of this protection.
 
OGYD-EP
 
Application field
 
The busbars used in a high voltage electric power system play an important role. Since the busbar concentrates the short-circuit power, destructive effects caused by a fault, by a device failure, by a handling mistake or by any other reasons are very high. A high speed busbar protection with high reliability can decrease the damage.
The OGYD-EP type three phase biased busbar differential protection and circuit breaker failure protection, based on optical fibre cable links can be used for this aim. Information (currents, voltages, position indications, trips) from the bay units are sent to the central unit through high speed series lines of optical fibre cable, in which busbar-selective and independent measuring relays are assigned to the real busbar configuration. The central unit performs the bus bar protection evaluation, and detects the failure of a breaker, and backup trip command is sent to the bay units if it is necessary.

  • all currents and other signals are three phase information
  • a bay unit is a distance protection or an overcurrent protection of EuroProt type, where a bay module is installed

    • synchronising signal in each 1 ms
    • trip commands ifit is necessary
  • the central unit is automatically configured according to the information collected through optical fibre cable pairs, and assigns independent measuring functions to each busbar sections
  • each measuring relay separately calculates its differential (summarised) current, and its biased current by summarising the absolute values

  • voltage breakdown condition is necessary to trip
  • operating time is 20 ms (see Technical Data in detail)
  • the breaker failure protection has two stages, the first stage sends a trip command again the own C.H., the second stage initiates tripping of all circuit breaker of the busbar section.

  • there are two designs:

  • real time clock handling with the help of RAM with battery, (which can be synchronised via optical fibre cable connected to external PC, to the SCADA system)
Working principle
 
The digital busbar protection includes one central unit and bay units for each bays. The bay unit is an EuroProt type distance protection or overcurrent protection, extended with a signal processing and optical cable driver board. The bay unit uses the own supply unit, built-in CT's and analog/digital converter of the EuroProt device. The disconnector position signals are input via optical coupler boards.
Each bay unit is interconnected with the central unit through high speed series line of an optical fibre cable pair (transmitter and receiver). Optical fibre connection is used even if centralised design is applied. The bay units installed in the feeder bays send the disconnector switch position indications with two bit signals (open-closed), the three phase voltage presence or absence, the trip commands given to the feeder CB, and the external and own breaker failure protection starting in each milliseconds to the central unit through the high speed optical cable pair. If the position indications do not change in IO ms, OGYD "configures" itself, i.e. determines the actual substation configuration, the actual state of the busbar system, and assigns individual measuring functions to all the busbar sections.
The central unit sends a synchronizing signal to each bay units through optical fibre cable pair. The bay units send instantaneous current values in three phases in each ms to the central unit. The values are processed by the assigned measuring relay functions of the central unit. The tripping characteristic of a measuring relay is shown in Figure 1.

The busbar protection operation can be effective only if the voltage breaks down in the affected feeder and phase. The algorithm is extended by CT circuit failure monitoring and optical cable failure monitoring system.

The operation of the digital breaker failure protection built in the OGYD-EP protection is as follows. The breaker failure protection is assigned separately for each measuring relays. Only the feeders switched to the busbar by disconnectors take part in the operation of breaker failure protection.
Each bay unit connected to the busbar section gets the breaker failure protection starting command, checks whether current flows on the feeder, and whether there is really trip command to any of the trip coils. If all the conditions are fulfilled the feeder unit sends message to the central unit without time delay, that breaker failure is possible on the feeder.
When the conditions of the breaker failure protection are fulfilled, the central unit starts two timers. One of them sends a command after time delaying to the relevant feeder unit. If it is still non-effective and the starting condition of the breaker failure protection is still existing, then after a longer time delaying all CB's of the bus bar section get the trip command.
The breaker failure protection detects separately in each phase but gives three phase trip command.
