3 Introduction

11Introduction

3.1

Application

SICAM Q80 7KG8080 is a IEC 61000-4-30 Ed. 2 class A measurement device for integral measurement of power quality. It encompasses all important quantities for the assessment of electrical supply networks at once. The user software serves the purposes of rigging the device, taking measurements with online monitoring and composing a report of the quality analysis.
SICAM Q80 7KG8080 enables you to measure on up to 4 differently configured leads with a resolution extending up to the 50th harmonic.
You can devise a variety of trigger mechanisms for long-term monitoring of events. Along with the conventional trigger mechanisms which respond to the signal exceeding limit values which can be set,
it is also possible to set triggering conditions representing the signal deviating significantly from the expected curve
shape. Thus, as an example, any sudden signal deviations occurring during long-term monitoring which are due to harmonics or brief voltage fluctuations (spikes) can be captured even if the magnitude of the deviation is much
smaller than the nominal value itself.
The long-term monitoring technique of measurements returns results with the following attributes: independent of the option of triggered measurement mentioned previously, all relevant measurement data are recorded. SICAM Q80
7KG8080 provides you with the ability to decide after the measurement what limits you wish to set for which quantity, and thus what to consider in the evaluation of results. The incoming data are converted online by the signal processor to useful information for the user. The data volume is reduced to the minimum necessary. This avoids the danger of losing record of relevant events which lie inside the boundaries.
Wherever Complete Recording isn't possible, the European standard EN50160 forms the basis for proceeding. This standard stipulates minimum requirements for inspection of power quality, in terms of the scope and the precision of measurements taken. By collaborating with German power suppliers on its development, SICAM Q80 7KG8080 benefits from large amounts of practical know-how which enables the scope of its functionality to go far beyond EN50160.
By using multiple SICAM Q80 7KG8080 units with an external real-time clock (GPS, DCF 77, NTP or IRIG-B), measured data from different sources can be synchronously correlated. And with the help of the database module, it is possible to search through the data for any events or limit overstepping, and then display and compare them.
SICAM Q80 7KG8080 main field of application is stationary network monitoring with subsequent evaluation. But short-term measurements are also fully supported, in which highly fluctuating disturbance phenomena must be observed. For this purpose, the data can be displayed online on the connected PC.
And if the device is intended for stationary operation for longer periods (such as many months), a special data storage mode makes it possible for the measurement results to be generated on a daily or even a monthly basis for later retrieval at the user's convenience.
In the examples below, the values assume the European low voltage grid frequency of 50 Hz, and a phase-to-neutral voltage of 230 Volt; for measurements of a 60 Hz grid or other voltages, the quantities must be converted/adapted accordingly.

Concept of SICAM Q80 7KG8080
Note
SICAM Q80 7KG8080 is designed to be used in either 50 Hz or 60 Hz grids.
The sample values presented pertain to a low voltage power network of 50 Hz and 230 V; in case of any deviations, the nominal voltage or network frequency is noted.

Computation procedures

The computations are performed in accordance with the standard IEC 61000-4-30 Ed.2 class A compliant for the following:
Frequency Magnitude of Supply Voltage Flicker Voltage Dips, Swells, Interruptions Unbalance Harmonics Mains Signaling Time clock uncertainty Flagging

3.2.1 Effective (RMS-) values

Note
If there are very strong amplitude fluctuations which would cause a value of Pst greater than 10, the tolerance of 5% is no longer assured. In this case, the error cutoff depends on the
characteristic curve's interference and can range up to 12%.
Calculation of the RMS values is calculated every half period over a complete period (20 ms @ 50 Hz or 16,66 ms @ 60 Hz).
This consists in summing up the squared input voltage values and taking the root of the result, as per the equation:
Here, P stands for the number of samples. For a sampling frequency of 10 kHz and a network frequency of 50 Hz, P =
100.

3.2.2 Flicker

Calculation of the flicker proceeds according to the description of a flicker meter in the standard EN 610000-4-15 (IEC868). However, the entire structure has been replicated completely digitally, i.e. as a component of DSP program. Flicker calculation is performed at a sampling rate of 100 Hz. This means that the values arrive at the classifier at a rate of 100 Hz.
The flicker calculation's input signal is the squared mean value from the RMS-value filter. Block 3's weighting filter (see standard) can be realized completely correctly by digital signal processing. Switching between ranges isn't necessary, since calculation is performed with 32-bit Floating-Point numbers. Scaling of the output signal to the means value of the input voltage (Block 1) comes after the weighting filter.
13Introduction
The classifier at the end of the chain (Block 5) computes Pst. The classifier's operating range is 20. Up to a Pst 10, the error limit of 5 % is adhered to.

Fig 3-1 Curve plot of a voltage outage

3.2.3 Rapid fluctuations of the RMS-value

Rapid changes in the RMS-values of voltage and current are recorded in the curve plots. For this purpose, a patented procedure called Transitional Recording is used.
The figure shows a voltage outage with data reduction. The crosses mark the sampled points of which the reduced curve plot consists.
A "transition" always refers to a change from a stationary amplitude state to a new state, where state can also mean a stretch of constant increase or decrease in amplitude. By comparing the slopes appearing within the curve to be reduced, sudden changes of the curve's course can be detected. The procedure is designed to limit the resulting curve plot's maximum deviation from the original signal.
The classic algorithm has been slightly modified for SICAM Q80 7KG8080. Thus, within a tolerance band of 5 % around the nominal voltage, the algorithm works at its default accuracy of 1,5 %, while outside of this band it works at twice that level, namely 0,75 %. The values can be edited via the user interface. As a result, events such as voltage dips are represented in very high precision while within the uninteresting "passing" region, the data is strongly reduced. By extending the data format to 64 bits the bufferable time range between two points is increased so that for a constant voltage, an obligatory data point must be recorded only after approx. 23 hours.
These steps increase the achievable reduction factor al the way to 1:20,000 without sacrificing relevant information. Ideally, if the network is free from disturbances, there would be eight data points per week: one per day plus the initial point. By contrast, any disturbances are recorded with time resolution of one-half period. In any case: no threshold values need to be set.

3.2.4 Events

Fig 3-2 Event with duration and magnitude
Typical courses of the voltage RMS-value which can be characterized by the duration and depth1 of the amplitude, are recorded by SICAM Q80 7KG8080 as events.
The curve plots of the RMS-values serve as the source for the capture of events. While the deviation of the RMS­value in one direction leads to the recording of a data point in a reduced curve plot, an event is always defined by two transitions: one from the normal voltage level to the fault level one another one back to the normal level.
The duration of an event is measured between two departure points, in other words at the amplitude setpoint. The magnitude of the event is determined from the minimum or maximum amplitude in the disturbance region. This is done in the assumption that the amplitude remains relatively constant during the disturbance.
According to currently valid standards, every deviation of >10% form the nominal voltage counts as an event. Depending on the duration and amplitude, distinctions are made between sags and outages.

For overvoltage, depth is the same as height.

3.2.5 Signal voltage (ripple control signals)

Signal voltage refers to a signal superimposed onto the supply voltage, which is used to communicate information. The most familiar example is so-called ripple control signals.
SICAM Q80 7KG8080 has three special channels, each with different time resolution, for monitoring signal voltages.
1. In addition to the harmonics and interharmonics, the mean voltage level at signal frequency is also recorded.
2. The RMS-value of the spectral line of the FFT corresponding to the signal frequency is recorded with data reduction.

3.2.6 Harmonics, interharmonics

Calculation of the frequency components in voltages, currents and thus also in power is performed by means of a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT).
The FFT is computed with a rectangular window as per the standard EN 61000-4-7 "Specifications for the measurement of harmonics and interharmonics in power supply networks". The harmonics are computed according to the method of harmonics-subgroups, where the RMS value is determined with the two adjacent frequency lines.
The THD (total harmonic distortion) is determined according to the method of harmonics-subgroups total distortion. This is the ratio of the RMS of the harmonics subgroups to the RMS of the fundamental oscillation subgroup.
The THD pertains to the fundamental oscillation. For this reason, even slightly distorted currents can yield a relatively high THD, which is why with the TDD (Total Demand Distortion), the reference frame is not the mean of the fundamental oscillation amplitude, but the maximum fundamental oscillation amplitude within the interval observed. Thus, TDD <= THD. Since small currents only have minor effects on the overall system, the TDD is a better metric of the burden from harmonic distortion.
This causes the number of samples to vary since it is chosen on the basis of the fundamental frequency in order to calculate exactly the harmonic and interharmonic components of that particular fundamental. Example: According to the standard, the frequency may deviate within the range 50 Hz ±1%. This means that for a 10 kHz sampling frequency, a period can vary between 98..102 sample values.
The resulting frequency vector is used to derive the aggregation of the 50 harmonics and 10 interharmonics. Together with the THD and signal voltage, 64 aggregations are derived for each input signal.
The spectra produced by the FFT can be viewed immediately by means of the online monitoring, for which purpose no aggregation are computed. The special channel for the signal voltage recorded with data reduction (ripple control signals) is fed directly from the FFT.

The smallest measurement interval is 30 min – shorted intervals are not generated. Repeated running of the commend is acknowledged but no additional measurement intervals are generated.
The command can only be performed if no PC (except the one currently in use) is directly connected with the device. If that is the case, there is a timeout error, since it is not possible to access the device for a specified amount of time.
5.1.1.1.3 Active / Passive setting
Active enables access to devices. If multiple devices are selected, many actions are only applied to active devices. Set any devices which are
switched off or not accessible as passive so that the measurement status query of all devices can be carried out quickly. Otherwise, performing the command for inaccessible devices will cause significant delays.
5.1.1.1.4 Actions with the mouse
Selection of a device
In the topology, the measurement location at which this device is active is highlighted: If the device is not active at any measurement location, the passive locations are displayed.

5.1.1.2 Topology
Definition: Creates new topology entries
New Region: Generates a new entry for a region,
see also here . New Station: Generates a new entry for a station, see
also here . New voltage level: Creates a new entry for a voltage
level, see also here . New feeder: Generates a new entry for a measurement
location, see also here .
Note
When a device is parameterized, then this always refers to the current entries in the topology. Thus, in the reports on a measurement location, different reports may be listed! ( e.g. due to exchanging devices, repairs etc.)
Any empty topology always shows the entries Collector \ Station \ Level. These are required for storing data from unknown measurement locations for Autotransfer and -report purposes. These entries can not be deleted.
The table below shows the topology and administers the measurement locations assignment of measured data.
