Overall Operation
The multi-functional protection devices SIPROTEC 4 7VE61 and 7VE63 are equipped with a powerful micro­processor. All tasks, such as the acquisition of the measured quantities, issuing of commands to circuit breakers and other primary power system equipment, are processed fully digitally. Figure 1-1 shows the basic structure of the device.
The measuring inputs (MI) are galvanically isolated, transform the voltages from the primary transformers and adapt them to the internal processing level of the device. Six voltage inputs are available in the MI section.

Binary Inputs and Outputs
Binary inputs and outputs from and to the computer system are routed via the I/O modules (inputs and outputs). The computer system obtains the information from the system (e.g remote resetting) or the external equipment (e.g. blocking commands). Outputs are mainly commands that are issued to the switching devices and messages for remote signalling of events and states.
Introduction
1.1 Overall Operation
Front Elements
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a display (LCD) on the front panel provide information on the functional status of the device and report events, states and measured values. The integrated control keys and numeric keys in conjunction with the LCD enable local interaction with the device. They allow the user to retrieve any kind of information from the device such as configuration and setting parameters, operational indications and fault messages (see also /1/ SIPROTEC 4 System Manual) and to change setting parameters.
Serial Interfaces
A personal computer running the DIGSI software can be connected to the serial the front panel to conveniently operate all device functions.
A separate service interface can be provided for remote communication with the device via a personal computer using DIGSI 4. This interface is especially well suited for a permanent connection of the devices to the PC or for operation via a modem.
All data can be transferred to a central control or monitoring system via the serial protocols and physical arrangements are available for this interface to suit the particular application.
A further interface is provided for sources.
Further communication protocols can be implemented via additional interface modules.
Analog Outputs
Depending on the ordering variant and configuration, ports B and D can be equipped with analog output modules for the output of selected measured values (0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA).
Power Supply

Introduction

1.2 Application Scope

1.2
Application Scope
The digital paralleling devices 7VE61 and 7VE63 of the SIPROTEC 4 family are multifunctional compact devices, which may be used for parallel switching systems and generators. Its technical version warrants a high security during parallel switching. This can be reached by means of the 11/2 channel measurement tech-
nique in device 7VE61 or the two-channel measurement technique in 7VE63 and a special hardware design. Additionally, numerous monitoring functions serve as support.
Except for the synchronizing functions, in the devices 7VE61 and 7VE63 are available optional voltages and frequency functions. Thus, the devices can be used for the protection function and for network decoupling tasks.
The devices are recommended for the different applications: 7VE61:
Synchrocheck monitoring for systems and manual synchronization. In this option a total of 3 synchron-
izers can parallel operate.
Parallel switching for systems
Systems Disconnection and Automatic Re-synchronization
Automatic synchronization of small to medium generators.
7VE63:
Operation with increased safety requirements through a two-channel feature
Parallel switching for high-voltage and extra high-voltage systems
Automatic synchronization of large generators
Operation of several synchronizers by a device (up to 8 are possible)
Visualization of the condition system through a graphic display and local control.
Synchronization Functions
The devices recognize automatically the operating conditions and react depending on the pre-settings.
In the operation mode “Synchrocheck” will be checked the validity of a restart according to different
considerations.
In the operation mode “Switching Synchronous Systems” will be determined the frequency difference
with high accuracy. The connection will take place if the difference frequency is for a long time near to 0.
If asynchronous conditions are available as in the case of synchronization for generators and systems,
thus the speed can bring near automatically at the system frequency and the generator voltage at the system voltage. A considering factor of the circuit breaker closing time is that the generator will be switched to a point of synchronism.
A very high security for recognition of a de-energized line or bus is achieved via the multi-voltage circuit
and the multiple inquiries of the voltage. As a result, a connection of the network is trouble-free reestab­lished.
Protection and Automation Functions
Except for the synchronizing functions, in the devices 7VE61 and 7VE63 are available optional voltages and frequency functions. Thus, the devices can be used for the protection function and for network decoupling tasks.
The devices include the following basic functions:
Overvoltage protection U>
Undervoltage protection U<
Overfrequency f>
Underfrequency protection f<
Rate-of-frequency df/dt>; –df/dt<

C53000-G1176-C163-3, Edition 10.2017
Vector jump protection Δφ
Fast threshold supervision of the voltages (U>; U<)
Control Functions
The device is equipped with control functions which operate, close and open, switchgear via the integrated operator panel, the system interface, binary inputs, and using a personal computer with DIGSI software.
The status of the primary equipment can be transmitted to the device via auxiliary contacts connected to binary inputs. The present status (or position) of the primary equipment can be displayed on the device, and used for interlocking or plausibility monitoring. The number of the operating equipment to be switched is limited by the binary inputs and outputs available in the device or the binary inputs and outputs allocated for the switch position indications. Depending on the primary equipment being controlled, one binary input (single point indication) or two binary inputs (double point indication) may be used for this process.
The capability of switching primary equipment can be restricted by a setting associated with switching authority (Remote or Local), and by the operating mode (interlocked/non-interlocked, with or without pass­word request).
Processing of interlocking conditions for switching (e.g. system interlocking) can be established with the aid of integrated, user-configurable logic functions.
Messages and Measured Values; Fault Recording
The indication list provides information about conditions in the power system and the device. Measurement quantities and values that are calculated can be displayed locally and communicated via the serial interfaces.
Device messages can be allocated to a number of LEDs, externally processed via output contacts, linked with user-definable logic functions and/or issued via serial interfaces.
During a generator or network fault (fault in the power system), important events and state changes are stored in a fault annunciation buffer. The instantaneous or rms measured values during the fault are also stored in the device and are subsequently available for fault analysis.
Introduction
1.2 Application Scope
Communication
Serial interfaces are available for the communication with operating, control and memory systems.
Front Interface
A 9-pin DSUB socket on the front panel is used for local communication with a personal computer. By means of the SIPROTEC 4 operating software DIGSI, all operational and evaluation tasks can be executed via this ator interface, such as specifying and modifying configuration parameters and settings, configuring userspe­cific logic functions, retrieving operational and fault messages and measured values, readout and display of fault recordings, querying of devices statuses and measured values.
Rear Interfaces
Depending on the individual ordering variant, additional interfaces are located at the rear side of the device. They serve to establish an extensive communication with other digital operating, control and memory compo­nents:
The this reason, remote operation is possible via personal computer and the DIGSI operating software, e.g. to operate several devices via a central PC.
The can be operated via data lines or fibre optic cables. Several standard protocols are available for the data transfer:
oper-
service interface can be operated via electrical data lines and also allows communication via modem. For

2.1.1
General
The settings associated with the various device functions may be modified by using the operating or service interface in DIGSI. The procedure is set out in detail in the /1/ SIPROTEC 4 System Manual. For changing config­uration parameters in the device, password no. 7 (for parameter set; default setting: 000000) is required. Without the password, the settings may be read, but may not be modified and transmitted to the device.
The settings associated with the various device functions, limit values, etc. can be modified using the controls on the front panel of the device or by using the operator interface with DIGSI in conjunction with a personal computer. Password No. 5 (for single parameter; default setting: 000000).

Device

The device can issue a serie of general annunciations about itself and the substation. These annunciations are listed in the following information list. Most annunciations are self-explanatory. The special cases are described below:
Reset: Device is reset on each Power ON. Initial Start: Initial start occurs after initialization of the device by DIGSI. Restart: Restart occurs after loading a parameter set or after reset.
The indication of messages masked to LEDs, and the maintenance of spontaneous messages, can be made dependent on whether the device has issued a trip command. In this situation, messages are not reported, if one or more protective functions have picked up on a fault, but a trip signal has not been issued yet by the 7VE61 and 7VE63, because the fault was cleared by another device (for example, outside the own protection range). These messages are then limited to faults in the line to be protected.
2.1.1.1
Spontaneous Fault Display
Resetting stored LEDs / relays
Setting Notes
After a fault has occurred, the device display spontaneously shows the most important fault data. In address 610 FltDisp.LED/LCD you can select whether the spontaneous fault display is updated for each fault (Target on PU) or only for faults that included a trip (Target on TRIP).
For devices with graphical display use parameter 611 Spont. FltDisp. to specify whether a spontaneous fault display will be shown automatically YES) or not (NO). For devices featuring a text display such displays will always appear a power system fault.
[logik-spondanmeld-display-081024, 1, en_GB]
Figure 2-1 Generation of spontaneous fault indications on the display
A new pickup will generally erase any stored LEDs/relays so that only the latest fault information is displayed at any time. A time can be set in address 615 T MIN LED HOLD during which the stored LEDs and relays will not be deleted. Any information occurring during that period of time will be linked via OR.
The option Target on TRIP in address 610 FltDisp.LED/LCD allows you to delete the information of the most recent fault stored on LEDs and relays provided that this fault has not resulted in a trip command of the device.

Functional Scope

The devices 7VE61 and 7VE63 can have depending on the order variant except for the synchronization func­tion over numerous protective and additional functions. The hardware and firmware is designed for this scope of functions.
Also individual functions can be enabled or disabled during configuration. Functions not needed can be thus be deactivated.
The available protection and synchronizing functions must be configured as Enabled or Disabled. For indi­vidual functions a choice between several alternatives is possible, as described below.
Functions that are configured as disabled are not processed by the 7VE61 and 7VE63: There are no indica­tions, and corresponding settings (functions, limit values) are not queried during configuration.
2.1.3.1

2.1.3.2
Special Cases
Functional Description
Configuration settings can be entered using a PC and the software program DIGSI and transferred via the front operator interface or the rear service interface. The procedure is described in detail in the /1/ SIPROTEC 4
System Manual.
Entry of password No. 7 (for parameter set) is required to modify configuration settings. Without the pass­word, the settings may be read, but may not be modified and transmitted to the device.
The functional scope with the available alternatives is set in the Device Configuration dialog box to match equipment requirements.
NOTE
Available functions and default settings depend on the device variant ordered (see Appendix A Ordering
Information and Accessories for details). Also, not all combinations of protective functions are possible
because of certain restrictions imposed by the hardware (see Section 2.1.1.1 Setting Notes).
Setting Notes
Most settings are self-explanatory. The special cases are described below. If the setting group change function has to be used, address 103 Grp Chge OPTION must be set to
Enabled. In service, simple and fast change, over between up to four different groups of settings is possible. Only one setting group may be selected and used if this option is Disabled.

Parameter 104 FAULT VALUE is used to specify whether the oscillographic fault recording should record Instant. values or RMS values. If RMS values are stored, the available recording time increases by the factor 10.
The parameter 145 df/dt Protect. establishes for the frequency change protection whether this is to contain two or four stages or is Disabled.
Up to 8 SYNC function groups are available for the synchronizing function. They are enabled in addresses 016x (x = 1 ... 8). Parameters 161 SYNC function 1 to 168 SYNC function 8 are used in addition to preselect the mode of operation:
1ph Sync check corresponds to the classical synchronizing function with in each case single-phase connec­tion of the voltages to be compared.
3ph Sync check corresponds to the classical synchronizing function with in each case multi-phase connec­tion of the voltages to be compared.

Change Group

Up to four independent setting groups can be created for establishing protection function settings. Setting groups enable the user to save the various function settings for different applications and to retrieve
these settings quickly. All setting groups are stored in the device. Only one setting group is active. During operation the user can locally switch between setting groups, using the operator panel, binary inputs
(if so configured), the service interface per PC, or via the system interface. A setting group includes the setting values for all functions that have been selected as Enabled during
configuration (see Section 2.1.1.1 Setting Notes). In 7VE61 and 7VE63 devices, four independent setting groups (A to D) are available. Whereas setting values may vary, the selected functions of each setting group remain the same.
Setting Notes
Comments
If multiple setting groups are not required, group A is the default selection. Then, the rest of this section is not applicable.
If the changeover option is desired, group changeover must be set to Grp Chge OPTION = Enabled (address 103) when the function extent is configured. For the setting of the function parameters, each of the required setting groups A to D (a maximum of 4) must be configured in sequence. The SIPROTEC 4 System Description gives further information on how to copy setting groups or reset them to their status at delivery and also how to change from one setting group to another.

2.2.1.1
Paralleling Functions
The paralleling facility is the main function of the 7VE61 and 7VE63 devices. A high degree of reliability and flexible adaptation to power system conditions allow different application areas. The following modes of oper­ation are covered:
Synchrocheck
Switching Synchronous Systems
Switching Asynchronous Systems
Switching to dead line/dead busbar

Functional Description

When connecting generator and power system or two power systems, the synchronism check verifies that the switching does not endanger the generator or the stability of the power system. For this purpose the voltage vectors of the power system sections to be synchronised are checked within definite limits for compatibility.
Connection and definitions
Depending on the device variants, parametrization possibilities are provided for up to eight different synchro­nizing functions. The following describes the function and mode of operation for the first synchronising func­tion (SYNC Function group 1). The same applies to function groups 2 to 8.
For proper functioning of the parallel devices 7VE61 and 7VE63 special conditions must be adhered to on connection to the voltage transformer circuits and the power breaker close coils.
Figure 2-3 shows a three-phase connection. The measuring voltage is the phase-to-phase voltage U
used for the synchronization function. The voltage inputs Ua and Ub can be connected on the side 1 and the voltage inputs Ud and Ue on the side 2. Since the winding sense of the voltage inputs Ub and Ue is changed opposite the other inputs, the connection of the corresponding second voltage input (Ub or Ue) takes place in inverse polarity (also anti-parallel). The sum of these voltages rotated by 180° to each other on each side must be zero. This allows a steady check of the measurement circuit as well as of the whole measuring channel of the voltage transformer circuit up to the recording of the measuring values.
At each third measurement input, for three-phase power systems a second phase-to-phase voltage (voltage U
) can be connected which — together with each first voltage — allows the phase sequence to be checked.
L23
For two or single-phase power systems (16.7 Hz) the third measurement input remains unused (see connec­tion example in the appendix).
An den jeweils dritten Messeingang kann bei Dreiphasennetzen eine zweite verkettete Spannung (Spannung U
) angeschlossen werden, die – zusammen mit der jeweils ersten Spannung – die Kontrolle der Drehfelder

ermöglicht. Bei Zwei- oder Einphasennetzen (16,7 Hz) bleibt der dritte Messeingang unbenutzt (siehe Anschlussbeispiel im Anhang A.3).
The device can also be connected to a V-connection (open delta connection) using two phase-phase voltages (see connection example in the appendix).

Important for understanding of the following versions is the definition of the values. According toFigure 2-3 side 1 is the reference side. This is indexed with 1. This results for voltage U1 the frequency f1 and the phase angle α1. For the side to be synchronised index 2 is defined. The electrical values of side 2 are then the voltage U2, the frequency f2 and the phases angle α2.
Formation of the difference values requires definition of the absolute measurement error (Δx = measure value – true value). The reference value and thus the true value is side 1. This results in the following calculation regulations:
Difference voltage dU = U2 – U1 A positive result means that voltage U2 is larger than voltage U1. Otherwise the result is negative. Difference frequency df = f2 – f1 A positive result means that for example the generator frequency is greater than the power system frequency.
This would be the oversynchronous case. If undersynchronous conditions prevail, the result of the difference frequency is negative.

Phase angle difference dα = α2 – α1 Display is limited to ±180°. A positive result means that α2 leads by a maximum of 180°. A negative result
causes α2 to lag by a maximum of 180°. Details are shown in Figure 2-5. Phase angle α1 was set on the zero axis as a reference system.
If synchronous networks are present and the frequency f2 is greater than f1, this means that the angle dα changes from negative value to zero and then to a positive value. As illustrated in Figure 2-5, this is a counter­clockwise rotation (= mathematically positive). With f2 < f1 the rotation is in the counter-clockwise. By visuali­zation of the synchroscope in the WEB-Browser (see “Commissioning Aids”) the illustration is rotated in
Figure 2-5 in order to keep the usual phase sequence from conventional synchroscope (f2 > f1 — correction
angle in counter-clockwise rotation).

Figure 2-5 Phase angle difference representation dα
For the setting parameters only positive values were used. For unequivocal characterisation of the setting parameters the above mentioned value description was modified somewhat. Inequalities were used. The representation is explained using a difference voltage example. To allow asymmetrical settings, two setting thresholds are required.
A positive value for dU produces the condition U2 > U1. The parameter for the setting e.g. for asynchronous power systems is dU ASYN U2>U1 (address 6130). For the second setting parameter which corresponds to a negative dU, the inequality U2 < U1 applies. The associated setting parameter for asynchronous power systems is dU ASYN U2<U1 (address 6131).
An analogous procedure was used for the difference frequency and the difference phase angle.
Synchronization via Transformers
There are also power systems where in addition a power transformer is located between the voltage meas­uring points of the circuit breaker being synchronised. This is possible for example with unit connections if synchronization is done using the high-voltage circuit breaker (see Figure 2-6).

For transformers with tap changer the setting can be also notified to the device for example via binary code and other codes (implemented in the 7VE63). In the event of deviations from the rated transformation ratio the voltage amplitude is adapted accordingly.
Apart from the via the binary input, the tap changer information to the device can also be transmitted via the serial interface (e.g. Profibus DP). Logical allocation of binary tap changer information from the bus to the logical binary inputs is to be implemented via the CFC (Connect module).
2.2.1.3
NOTE
For transformers with tap changers for a quadrature or phase angle control the additional angle rotation in the voltage cannot be corrected. Here synchronism should always be done with the rated position of the tap changer (no angle rotation). Unrestricted synchronisation is always possible if voltage transformers are located on both sides of the circuit breaker.
11/2– and 2–channel Version
A high degree of safety and reliability are achieved in the devices 7VE61 and 7VE63 by virtue of the multi­channel capability. For this purpose a two-out of-two decision is implemented. Two independent conditions must always be fulfilled for the closure command. For the 7VE61 and 7VE63 devices and the two-out of-two decision is implemented differently. The following diagram shows the principal structure of the two versions used.
[ve6-mehrkanaligkeit-030205-kn, 1, en_GB]
Figure 2-7 Design of a multi-channel redundancy
To distinguish the two versions, the terms 11/2-channel capability and 2-channel capability were introduced. They are explained in more detail in the following.

C53000-G1176-C163-3, Edition 10.2017
11/2-channel Version
In the 11/2-channel version of the 7VE61 the paralleling function issues the closure command. The synchro­check function operates as an enable criterion and is set coarsely in the monitoring limits. The existing
dependences for the setting values of the enable angle, the permissible frequency difference and the circuit breaker closing time make a little narrow the working range of the 7VE61 compared with the 2 channels 7VE63 ( see the Seting Notes of the synchocheck).
2-channel Version
In 2-channel version of the 7VE63 two procedures independent of one another operate in parallel. The closure command is issued if both procedures decide for closure. The uniformity of the two channel device design is shown in the following figure.

Figure 2-8 2- channel version
Uniform Multichannel Redundancy
To ensure high safety and reliability, not only the software was developed in diverse forms, but also essential hardware components were duplicated. In accordance with Figure 2-8 or Figure 2-3 the voltage inputs (U1 and U1 as well as U2 and U2) are duplicated and fed to two analog/digital converters. Measurement procedure 1 operates exclusively with voltages U1 and U2 and measurement procedure 2 with voltages rotated by 180°
U1 or U2). In the 11/2 channel version in measurement procedure 1 the synchrocheck function is applied and
( in measurement procedure 2 the parallel switch function. With the 2-channel version in measurement proce-
dures 1 and 2 different parallel switch algorithms are processed. If both procedures decide for closure, enabling is allocated for activating the breaker semiconductors. Two
closure relays are activated each by two semiconductors. This avoids overfunctioning by semiconductor shorting. Further safety is provided acc. to Figure 2-8 by the relay activation using the cross measurement procedure. The closure coils are activated by the contacts of the two relays. External interconnection is to be done such that the plus pole and the minus pole are separately switched.
Measurement Methods
To conform to multichannel redundancy, two diverse measurement algorithms are used. This excludes over­functioning due to systematic errors. At the same time measurement procedures of different programmers are used, processed in independent tasks, and use different memory parts.

The filter was so designed that DC components and higher frequency disturbance signals which differ from the rated frequency, are effectively suppressed.

Monitoring Procedure
In Figure 2-8 in addition essential monitoring procedures are shown which are explained in the following. The measure values are fed to 2 analog/digital converters (ADC) where the second ADC processes value rotated by180° (
U1; U2). The monitoring procedures checke the entire transformer circuits including internal acquisi-
tion and storage, for plausibility, and block the measurement procedures in the event of deviations. With the Sampled value monitoring for each sampled value the following equations are processed for the
two voltages U1 and U2: I u1(k) + I u2(k) +
u1(k) I ≤ Δu u2(k) I ≤ Δu
If an admissible voltage Δu is exceeded, an error must be present in measured value acquisition or storage (voltage transformer, ADC, memory). If this fault occurs several times, a disturbance indication (25037

It is effective if a multi-phase voltage connec­tion results (see Figure 2-3) and the parameter 6113 PHASE SEQUENCE is set to L1 L2 L3 for a clockwise phase sequence or L1 L3 L2 for an anticlockwise phase sequence. If different phase sequences or those other than the setting are established at inputs U1 and U2, the synchronising function is blocked and corre­sponding indications are issued (25039 purposes the phase sequence appears as an operational measured value for both inputs.
The measurement algorithms and logic functions are in to be found in the displayed measure procedures 1 and 2. Different measurement procedures are used in accordance with the two-channel capability in order to exclude overfunctioning caused by process conditioned (systematic) errors. In addition other procedures are effective in the background. The closure monitoring checks the Consistency of both measurement proce­dures. If both procedures do not result in the closure command within a prescribed period, this causes a rejec­tion and an indication (

Multiple Synchronizing Points
Depending on the scope of delivery (see Table 2-2) multiple synchronising points can be operated. The setting parameters are deposited here for each circuit breaker being synchronised, in so-called synchronising function groups. In the maximum variant the 7VE63 operates up to 8 synchronising points. Selection uses either binary inputs or the serial interface.

On synchronizing large power units it is recommended in principle that one parallel switching device (7VE63) is used per unit. This results in two typical synchronizing points: The generator circuit breaker or the power system circuit breaker.
The paralleling device is connected to the voltage transformer or the circuit breaker via external auxiliary relays. On selecting the synchronizing point the measured values are connected and connection to the circuit breaker being synchronised results. This starts the synchronizing procedure. In principle the device also allows a test synchronising. In addition to the start input (indication synchronising (indication
The logic functionality (CFC) allows also the parallel switch device to undertake activation of the switchover relays. The corresponding logic must be provided for this in accordance with application. This method has advantages for activation of the parallel switched device via the serial interface.

Synchrocheck
The synchrocheck function is used for example for additional enabling on manual close or manual synchro­nizing for safety reasons.
In this mode the variables ΔU, Δf and Δϕ are checked before connecting both power system components. When the setting values are reached an enabling command is issued for the duration when all conditions for synchronization are fulfilled, but at least for an adjustable time period.
The corresponding logic is shown in Figure 2-9.

Application Instruction 1
The synchrocheck function is incorporated in the software package of the paralleling device and uses the closure logic of the paralleling function. If the synchronizing function group (synchrocheck) was selected and a measurement request or a start command issued, the synchrocheck function is active and issues an enabling if the conditions are fulfilled. This is followed automatically by a termination of the device. If enabling is to be used again, a further measurement request must be issued. For this reason activation is recommended for manual synchronising (manual close) in accordance with Figure 2-10. The point to be synchronised is selected via the binary input (e.g. and checks the synchronizing conditions in accordance with the above logic (Figure 2-9). A measurement request is started automatically with the manual close signal and thus the internal logic started. Since synchro­nization conditions exist with proper handling, the parallel switch device immediately allocates enabling. The internal signal operating time is less than 10 ms. There must be between selection of the synchronizing func­tion group and measurement request, a time of at least 100 ms.

A further prerequisite is the selection of the point to be synchronized and the start of the synchrocheck function via the measurement request or start command. As long as the measurement request remains, or the synchrocheck function has been started and not stopped, or the monitoring time has elapsed, the indication

Switching to Dead Line/Busbar
Connecting two components of a power system is also possible if at least one of the both components is deenergized. No voltage is recognized, if the measured voltage is smaller than the threshold 6105 U<. Three phase connection increases safety since multiple voltages must meet the conditions.
Besides release under synchronous conditions, the following additional release conditions can be selected for the check:
SYNC U1>U2<
= Release on the condition that component U1 is ener-
gized and component U2 is de-energized.
SYNC U1<U2> = Release on the condition that component U1 is de-
energized and component U2 is energized.
SYNC U1<U2< = Release on the condition stating that component U
1
and component U2 are de-energized.
Each of these conditions can be enabled or disabled individually; combinations are thus also possible (e.g., release if SYNC U1>U2< or SYNC U1<U2> are fulfilled).
The threshold below which a power system component is considered as de-energized is defined by parameter U<. If the measured voltage exceeds the threshold U>, a power system component is energized. Thus, with a multiple-phase connection at side U1 and with activated phase sequence monitoring, all three voltages have to be placed via the threshold U>, so that the side U1 is recognized as energized (see Figure 2-12). With single-
phase connection, of course, only one voltage has to exceed the pickup value.

Is the voltage to be synchronized U2 below the setting value U<?

Switching Synchronous Systems
Synchronous power systems are involved if galvanically coupled power systems are switched in parallel. A typical characteristic for synchronous power systems is frequency identity (Δf ≈ 0). This state is detected if the frequency difference undershoots the setting value of the parameter F SYNCHRON. If additionally conditions Δα and ΔU are fulfilled over the set time 6146 T SYNC-DELAY, the closure command is issued. The associ­ated logic diagram with the corresponding setting parameters is shown in Figure 2-14 for one of the both channels. The sequence in the 2nd channel is identical to the 2-channels version of the 7VE63. The release occurs here with positive result of all decisive criteria

. First the release of both channels
allows a synchronization. In the 11/2-channel version of the 7VE61, the 1st channel represents a synchrocheck function. It opens a meas­urement window in which a synchronization is permitted. Only if the release of the 2nd channel falls into this
measurement window, a synchronization is possible.

Switching Asynchronous Systems
This state occurs with the power system and generator (open generator circuit breaker). Here the conditions voltage difference ΔU and frequency difference Δf are checked, and taking into consideration the angle differ­ence and the operating time of the circuit breaker, the closure command time is calculated so that the voltage vectors are identical at the instant the circuit breaker poles (ΔU ≈ 0, Δα ≈ 0) make contact.
The generator can be automatically brought to synchronism conditions by the balancing commands for voltage and frequency (see below).
Enabling for closure is issued if the conditions are fulfilled, according to the logic diagram in Figure 2-15. The close command is issued at a time before synchronization corresponding to the operating time of the circuit

Measurement Sequence
In the 2-channel 7VE63 the measurement voltages in the two-channel are evaluated in accordance with two different measurement procedures. Each measurement procedure operates with its own measurement value records and calculates the difference between voltages, frequencies and angles using different algorithms.
The first measurement procedure determines the connection time instant in accordance with the angle crite­rion. If all conditions are fulfilled the closure command ment procedure determines the connection time instant using the time criterion. If all conditions are fulfilled the closure command
The following figure shows the formation of the closure time instant for an asynchronous connection. Clearly evident is consideration of the circuit breaker operating time, since the closure command was issued
before the synchronizing instant. Both measurement procedures are almost identical. They can however very somewhat. This is monitored. This means that both procedures must have issued the closure command within a tolerance range (see also Section “Supervision”).

Automatic Synchronizing of Generators
General
For devices variants with balancing commands 7VE6**-*****-*C or D** fully automatic synchronising of the generator with the power system is possible. If the synchronizing conditions are not fulfilled the device auto­matically outputs actuator signals. The actuator signals are proportional to the voltage or frequency difference i.e. with greater differences longer actuator commands are issued. Generator voltage and speed are influ­enced by the particular controllers so that fast connection is made possible.
By means of the balancing commands of the 7VE6 to the speed controller of the drive machine, generator frequency is brought quickly to the parallel connection point. At the same time the generator voltage is matched to the power system voltage by actuator commands to the voltage controller of the generator or to the taps changer of the transformer. On parametrization of the device it is possible to establish whether parallel connection is to be done only in the oversynchronous or undersynchronous state, or in both states.
If both sides have exactly the same frequency but different phase angles, no synchronisation is possible. In such a case the 7VE6 causes a small change of frequency and thus a gradual change of phase angle by means of a short actuator pulse (“Kick impulse”).
Control Variables
The controller changes its setpoint values by actuator pulses, in accordance with their pulse length. To adapt to the dynamics of the controller and the generator, voltage change dU2 / dt and frequency change df2 / dt as well as minimum and maximum pulse lengths can be adjusted. If the setpoint is adjusted by the pulse, the controller requires some time to adapt the controller variables to the new setpoint. To dampen state

changes, the next actuator command is issued only after this response time has expired. This time can be like­wise parametrized as T U PAUSE or T f PAUSE.
The main effect of the times is shown in Figure 2-19. The actuator time depends on the measured difference values (dU or df) and on the set control speed (dU/dt or df/dt). For larger actuator times a restriction results from the maximum pulse length. If the actuator time is larger, it is distributed among several pulses. Calcu­lated actuator times less than the required minimum pulse time are output.

Voltage Balancing
Functions
2.2 Paralleling Functions
The amplitude of side 2 can be adjusted using actuator pulses via the voltage controller or the transformer tap changer. The permissible range for the synchronization is defined by parameters 6130 dU ASYN U2>U1 and 6131 dU ASYN U2<U1. The mean value of the two setting parameters is used as a target value for deriving the setting pulse. In case of very unsettled power system conditions it may be advantageous to filter the meas­ured values (smoothing mean value formation). Parameter 6175 SMOOTHING U under DIGSI is used for this purpose.
In combination with the frequency adjustment the overexcitation (U/f) is continuously monitored. If the set threshold is exceeded, a limitation of the control outputs takes place, so that the permissible overexcitation is achieved. Setting parameter 6176 (U/Un) / (f/fn) can only be accessed via DIGSI.
On balancing of voltage via transformer tap changer, no variable actuator pulses can be output since the transformer can only be adjusted by one whole tapping. For this purpose a pulse of defined length is required, matched to the tap changer. The time for the pulse is established by the parameter 6172 T U PULS MAX. After each pulse the response time is awaited 6174T U PAUSE.
Frequency Balancing
Balancing commands to the speed controller of the drive machine are issued for as long as the generator is outside the admissible frequency band for asynchronous connection, determined by the parameters. Within the asynchronous operating range, actuator pulses should be issued only if the phase angles of both voltages differ, their difference Δα being far from 0°. In the envelope curve this corresponds to an increasing ampli­tude. If the connection point is being approached, no further frequency adjustment commands should be issued. For this purpose — assuming a calculated ideal switching time instant — a time period 6189 T SW-ON MIN can be set during which no further actuator pulses are issued or commenced pulses are aborted, as shown in Figure 2-20.

If the generator is in the synchronous operating range (“stationery synchronous vector”), only short-term pulses (“Kick impulses”) are then output, adjusting the frequency of the fixed frequency value by (–0.10 to +0,10 Hz) under parameter 6188 Δf KICK.
If unsettled frequency conditions prevail which cause excessive adjustments, it is of advantage to somewhat average the frequency measured value. This is possible via parameter 6186 SMOOTHING f. This setting can only be changed with DIGSI.
Enabling Logic
In order that an output of setpoints can be performed, the following conditions of the voltages U1 and U2 and their frequencies have to be maintained:

any time using a binary input. Balancing commands are interrupted if the synchronous operating range is recognized, meaning Δf < Parameter 6141 F SYNCHRON. In this range only kick impulses are admissible. As long as the pause time after an adjustment pulse is current or as soon as a closure command is issued, likewise no adjustment pulses are admissible. Balancing commands are permitted in the synchronous operating range only if the time lies until the next possible connection over the described period with the parameter 6189 T SW-ON MIN.

Output of Balancing Commands
If there are no blockages, a pulse time is computed and started on the basis of the parameter settings and the particular difference values from the setpoint. After the impulse time has elapsed, the dead time is started. If setpoints are exceeded during output, i.e. if the sign of the voltage or frequency difference changes, the actuator pulse is aborted and after expiry of the dead time a pulse is started in the opposite direction.

If the synchronous operating range is detected, i.e. the frequency difference Δf is less than parameter 6141 F SYNCHRON, the connection conditions however are not yet fulfilled (ΔU and Δα are not in the admissible range), then “Kick impulses” may be issued if the voltage controllers will not converge within a short time. This is the case if the time to synchronism exceeds a particular time.
If for the parameter 6132 df ASYN f2>f1 a nonzero value is set, i.e. parallel switching from the oversyn­chronous range is permitted, then the target value 6188 Δf KICK should be set to a positive value because kicking is done in the target value direction Δf KICK.

Interaction with Control Functionality
The paralleling devices 7VE61 and 7VE63 are equipped with the same control function as all SIPROTEC 4 devices. For control tasks the 7VE63 is particularly suitable since it avails of numerous binary inputs and outputs, a graphic display for switch diagrams and the required key switches (local and remote control or interlocked and non interlocked operation). The synchrocheck function also operates with the device control. The corresponding interconnection is established via parameter 6102 SyncSD. If the required synchronization device is here entered, e.g. Q0, then the synchronization functional group works in conjunction with the internal control.
If a CLOSE command is issued, the control accounts for the fact that the switchgear component requires synchronization. The control sends a measurement request (

Commissioning Tools
The devices 7VE61 and 7VE63 are designed so that they can be commissioned without external test equip­ment and recorders. There is also, among others, a protected commissioning aid password (IBS Tool). With this tool, the CLOSE time can be automatically measured via the device (internal command up to closing the circuit breaker poles). This process is recorded with the oscillographic fault record.
All measured values relevant for commissioning are available in the operational measured values. The performance of the synchronizing function and of the device is documented in detail in addition in the opera­tional indication and synchronising indication buffers. The connection conditions are established in the synchronisation recording.
A trial at synchronisation is still possible. All procedure run in the device but the two closure relays R1 (BO1) and R2 (BO2) are not activated. This state can be achieved also via binary input.
The commissioning aids are activated via the parameter 6001 COM. TESTSYNC. = ON.
As an extension to the universal operating program DIGSI, a web server is contained in the 7VE6*, which can be activated by means of a remote transmission connection and a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer). The advantage of this solution is on the one hand that the device can be operated by using standard software tools, and in principle the Intranet/Internet infrastructure.
On the other hand individual information can be deposited in the device without complication. In addition to purely numerical values, visualisations facilitate device operation. In particular, defined information and a very high control security are achieved via graphic illustrations. Figure 2-26 shows a sample general view, as it is known from the classical synchronization function (cursor definition see in “Connection and Definitions” in Section 2.2.2 SYNC Function group 1). The actual state of the synchronization conditions is clearly evident.
Naturally additional measured value diagrams and indication buffers can be called up. Using the integrated device operation simulation, in addition for commissioning purposes selected setting values can be adapted.

SYNC Function group 1

Depending on the device variants, parametrization possibilities are provided for up to eight different synchro­nizing functions. The following describes the setting notes, parameter and annunciations for the first synchro­nising function (SYNC Function group 1). The same applies to function groups 2 to 8.
Setting Notes
On setting the P.System Data 1 (see Section 2.1.4.1 Setting Notes) the device allocates a rated value of significance for the synchronizing function:
270 Rated Frequency: The operating range of the synchronizing function refers to the nominal frequency of the power system = (fN ± 3 Hz).
The synchronizing function can only operate if during configuration of the functional scope (see Section
2.1.1.1 Setting Notes) under at least one of the addresses 161 SYNC function 1 to 168 SYNC function
8 was set as present. The operating mode can be preselected:
1ph Sync check corresponds to the classical synchronizing function with in each case single-phase connec­tion of the voltages to be compared. Observe thereby that this selection involves a fixed allocation between synchronizing function group and voltage channels. The allocation is shown in the following table

Thereby three circuit breakers can be monitored more or less in parallel. This saves wiring switching and checking expense. This application example is of particular significance in 11/2 circuit breaker technology.
3ph Sync check corresponds to the classical synchronizing function with possible in each case three-phase connection of the voltages to be compared. With this standard connection (see connection example in appendix A.3) a high degree of safety is offered. The phase sequence check is also active (with set parameter 6x13 PHASE SEQUENCE = L1 L2 L3 or L1 L3 L2) and on switching to an idle bus several voltages are scanned. This manages the single fault condition (broken wire in the voltage connection).

Standard connection is three-phase (see connection example in the appendix), data are processed up to command issuing 11/2 channel with the 7VE61, or 2-channel with the 7VE63 with the monitorings
mentioned in the function description. Alternative connection variant are likewise shown in the appendix or treated under “Connections and Definitions”
If the function is not requiredDisabled is to be set. A synchronizing function group thus rendered ineffective is disabled in the menu item Synchronization; other groups in this menu are displayed enabled.
Only the corresponding indications of the SYNC Function group 1 are pre-allocated for IEC 60870–5–103. If other function groups (2 to 8) are configured and if their indications are to be disposed of via IEC, they must first be configured to the SYS interface.
Selecting one of the displayed SYNC function groups in DIGSI opens a dialog box with several tabs, e.g. Power System, U Balancing,f Balancing and Tap changer in which the individual settings for synchronism can be made. The following settings are carried out via SYNC Function group 1 in address block 61. For the SYNC function groups 2 to 8 the same applies correspondingly, the associated addresses start with 62 to 68.
General Settings
The general limit values for the synchronizing function of the SYNC group 1 are set under addresses 6101 to
6120. Under address 6101 Synchronizing can be set to switch the entire synchronous function group ON- or OFF.
If switched off, the synchronous check does not verify the synchronization conditions and

2.2 Paralleling Functions
Address 6102 SyncSD is used to select the switchgear component to which the synchronizing settings are to be applied. If the option none is selected the function can be used as an external synchronizing feature. It will then be triggered via binary input messages. This corresponds to standard use as a parallel device.
Parameters 6103 Umin and 6104 Umax set the upper and lower limits for the operating voltage range for U1 or U2 and thus determine the operating range for the synchronizing function. If the values leave this band, a message will be output. A typical setting is approx. ±10 % of rated voltage.
Address 6105 U< indicates the voltage threshold below which the feeder or the busbar can safely be consid­ered switched off (for checking a de-energized feeder or busbar). For this a preset value of approx. 5 % rated voltage was selected.
Address 6106 U> indicates the voltage threshold above which the feeder or busbar can safely be considered energized (for checking an energized feeder or busbar). It must be set below the minimal anticipated opera­tional undervoltage. For this reason a setting value of approx. 80 % rated voltage is recommended.
The setting for the mentioned voltage values is made in secondary volts. Addresses 6107 to 6109 are set to specify the enabling conditions for the closing check. The following
addresses mean: 6107 SYNC U1<U2> = Component U1 must be de-energized, component U2 must be energized (connection
to reference without voltage, dead bus); 6108 SYNC U1>U2< = Component U1 must be energized, component U2 must be de-energized (connection
to feeder without voltage, dead line); 6109 SYNC U1<U2< = Power supply unit U1 and U2 must both be dead (connection with dead reference and
dead feeder, Dead Bus/Dead Line); These possible enabling conditions are independent of each other and can also be combined. For safety reasons enablings are switched off in the presetting and are thus set to NO. Parameter TSUP VOLTAGE (address 6111) can be set to configure a monitoring time which requires above
stated release conditions to be present for at least de-energized switching before switching is allowed. The preset value of 0.1 considers transient responses and can be applied without modification.
Enabling via synchronous check can be limited to a configurable synchronous monitoring time T-SYN. DURATION (address 6112). The configured conditions must be fulfilled within this time. Otherwise release is not granted and the synchronizing function is stopped. If this time is set to ∞, the conditions will be checked until they are fulfilled. This is also the preset value. On establishing a time limit operational conditions must be observed. They must be established in accordance with each system.
With parameter 6113 PHASE SEQUENCE you can disable the phase sequence check for the U1 and U2 voltages together or enable them together for clockwise rotation (L1 L2 L3) or anticlockwise rotation (L1 L3 L2). This parameter is not displayed for single-phase synchronization check.
With enabled phase sequence check this voltage input (Uc; Uf) is referred to additionally to detect a discon­nected or energized line or busbar (see also subsection „Switch to dead busbar/dead line“ in the function description of the synchronizing function).
Power System Data
The power system data for the synchronizing function are set at addresses 6120 to 6127. The circuit breaker closing time T-CB close at address 6120 is required if the device is to close also under
asynchronous system conditions. The device will then calculate the time for the close command such that the voltages are in phase in the instant the breaker poles make contact. Please note that this should include the operating time of the breaker as well as the operating time of an auxiliary relay that may be connected in the closing circuit. You can determined the breaker operating time by means of the 7VE61 and 7VE63 (see commissioning notes in Chapter 3).

NOTE
Note that for safety reasons the circuit breaker closing time is preset to ∞, asynchronous connection is therefore not possible using the delivery setting. In this case the indication synchronizing function group x is issued.
If the circuit breaker closing time via evaluating fault records is obtained, in this way the measured value can be directly transferred. On the contrary, if an external timer is used, the measured time of an internal running time of 22 ms at fN = 50 or 60 Hz and of 42 ms at fN = 16.7 Hz is to be add.
With the Balancing U1/U2 (address 6121) different VT ratios of the two parts of the power system can be considered (see example in the following Figure 2-28). In order that the device can compare both secondary voltages, the voltage U2 is multiplied with the Balancing U1/U2 and this value is also displayed in the operational measured values.

Normally different secondary rated values are rare and the factor remains therefore at 1,00. If the voltage transformers are differently loaded however, amplitude errors may result. This can be compensated for using the Balancing U1/U2. The setting value must be established after commissioning on the primary system (see Commissioning instructions in Chapter 3).
The parameter may also be used to adapt with a transformer tapping switch the individual voltage stages for synchronization. For this the parameter 6121 can be provided with various values suitable to the individual voltage levels. If therefore the transformer in the following diagram has 3 stages, 3 synchronizing function groups are used and set identically except for the parameter 6121.

If a power transformer lies between the voltage transformers of the circuit breaker to be synchronised, the phase angle rotation of a vector group differing from zero must be corrected. A typical application is shown in
Figure 2-32. At parameter 6122 ANGLE ADJUSTM. the rated apparent power is entered.
The transformer vector group is defined from the high voltage side to the low voltage side. The reference voltage transformer U1 is connected to the high voltage side of the transformer.

If the voltage connection U1 is on the system lower voltage side, the extension angle should be set to 360°. For a transformer with vector group 5 this corresponds to 360° – (5 · 30°) = 210°

At address 6124 VT Un1, primary the primary transformer rated voltage of side 1 is entered for correct primary representation of the measured values. Analog to this the primary transformer rated voltage of side 2 is entered under address 6125 VT Un2, primary.
Address 6126 Unom SECONDARY represents the secondary transformer rated voltage. Under address 6127 T CLS CMD MIN, sets the duration of the closing command to the circuit breaker. This
must always be greater than the circuit breaker closing time (address 6120); such that the circuit breaker safely completes the closure and has interrupted closure control circuit with its auxiliary contact. For safety reasons, the time should not be set longer than necessary.
The default setting of 0.1 s corresponds to common circuit breakers; however, the particular power system must be checked.
Asynchronous Conditions
With asynchronous systems a connection command is issued by the synchronizing function so that, taking into consideration the operating time of the circuit breaker (address 6120 T-CB close), the power systems are coupled when the vectors are in phase. Apart from the circuit breaker closing time (make-time) 6120 T-CB close 6130 to 6133 for this purpose are relevant.
With parameters 6130 dU ASYN U2>U1 (admissible voltage difference, if U2 is greater than U1) and 6131 dU ASYN U2<U1 (admissible voltage difference if U2 is less than U1) the admissible voltage differences can be also set asymmetrically.
To prevented the reactive power loading of the generator after connection from becoming too large, a setting of 2 % of rated voltage has proven suitable.
Parameters 6132 df ASYN f2>f1 (admissible frequency difference if f2 exceeds f1) and 6133 df ASYN f2<f1 (admissible frequency difference if f2 is less than f1) restrict the operating range for asynchronous connection. The availability of two parameters enables an asymmetrical release to be set.
A usual setting value is about 0.1 Hz. This keeps the possible active power compensation within limits on connection.
Synchronous Conditions
Parameter 6140 SYNC PERMIS. selects whether on undershooting of the threshold F SYNCHRON (see below) only the synchronism conditions are checked (YES) or under all circumstances the breaker operating time is to be also considered (NO).
On synchronism of generators this operating mode is to be disabled. The parameter must be at NO. On the other hand a main application is synchronisation of power systems.

2.2 Paralleling Functions
Parameter 6141 F SYNCHRON serves as an automatic threshold between synchronous and asynchronous switching. If the frequency difference is below the specified threshold, the power systems are considered to be synchronous and the regulations for synchronous switching apply. If it is above the threshold, the switching is asynchronous with consideration of the time left until the voltages are in phase.
A raising of the threshold may be necessary if drives (e.g. reciprocating compressor) burden the power system differently in each half cycle and thus negatively influence frequency measurement accuracy.
Parameters 6142 dU SYNC U2>U1 and 6143 dU SYNC U2<U1 allowed the admissible voltage differences to be set asymmetrically also. The setting value can actually be selected higher than for asynchronous condi­tions. This is dictated by the system conditions (e.g. greater voltage drops due to current limiting reactor).
Parameters 6144 dα SYNC α2> α1 and 6145 dα SYNC α2< α1 restrict the operating range for synchro­nous switching with regard to admissible angle difference. These two parameters allow an asymmetrical switching range to be configured (see also Figure 2-33).
The preset value for the angle must possibly be increased if current limiting reactors cause a larger phase shift. This however increases the compensation current when switching near the limits.
Moreover, the enable time delay T SYNC-DELAY (address 6146) can be set after which all synchronous conditions must at least be fulfilled for the closing command to be generated. A particular degree of power system quiescence is then awaited. The default setting of 10 s has proven to be a good value.

Addresses 6150 dU SYNC U2>U1 (permissible voltage difference, if U2 is greater than U1) and 6151 dU SYNC U2<U1 (permissible voltage difference, if U2 is smaller than U1) can be used to set the permissible
voltage differences asymmetrically. The availability of two parameters enables an asymmetrical release to be set.
The parameters 6152 df SYNC f2>f1 (permissible frequency difference, if f2 is greater than f1) and 6153 df SYNC f2<f1 (permissible frequency difference, if f2 is smaller than f1) determine the permissible frequency differences. The availability of two parameters enables an asymmetrical release to be set.
The parameters 6154 dα SYNC α2> α1 (permissible angle difference, if α2 is greater than α1) and 6155 SYNC α2< α1 (permissible angle difference, if α2 is smaller than α1) confine the operating range for synchronous switching. The availability of two parameters enables an asymmetrical release to be set.
The preset parameters were selected for the application “Enabling for manual synchronisation of a generator” and correspond to the parameters as for asynchronous conditions. The angle setting relates to the admissible angle error which a generator still tolerates without excessive stress. Setting is to be done in accordance with generator. 10° is a typical value.
With frequency difference of 0.1 Hz at 10°, the time interval to the instant of synchronization is 10°/0.1 Hz · 360° = 280 ms. Within this time period the manual close command should occur. The operating time of the device 7VE61 and 7VE63 is approx. 10 ms. With an assumed circuit breaker closing time of 60 ms, approx. 2.5° before the synchronizing instant the manual ON command must occur.
With the 11/2 channel version of the 7VE61, the synchrocheck function operates as an enable criterion and is set coarsely in the monitoring limits. Therefore the dependences for the setting values of the forward angle
are Δα, permissible frequency difference Δf and circuit breaker closing time TE according to the following formula:

The permissible frequency deviations Δf (Parameter 6152 df SYNC f2>f1 or 6153 df SYNC f2<f1) decrease with high circuit breaker closing time (6120 T-CB close) depending on the selected forward angle Δα (Parameter 6154 dα SYNC α2> α1 or 6155 dα SYNC α2< α1) as illustrated in Figure 2-35.

Transformer Taps
With the device variant 7VE63 transformer tap acquisition can be implemented via binary inputs for up to 62 stages.
For inserting transformer tap indications the following procedure is necessary:
A transformer tap indication must be inserted in the configuration matrix under DIGSI (see Figure 2-36).
The characteristics of a transformer tap indication must be set (see Figure 2-37). For the common para-
metrizable coding (binary code, BCD code, „1-of-n“ code) four selection values (number of taps, number of bits, display offset and stage jump) establish which bit patterns correspond to the individual trans­former taps and in which form they are represented in the device display and in the event buffer.
On input of the “Moving contact” option the tap setting is recognized as valid and applied when the moving contact signals that the taps have been reached.
The indication must be allocated to a binary input. Only then does this transformer tap appear in the
selection of the parameter 6160 TAP CHG. OBJ.. Please note with regard to numbering that only directly consecutive binary inputs can be used.
After selection of the transformer tap indication under address 6160 this is incorporated in the synchronisa­tion depending on setting of the parameters 6161 and 6162. For this 6161 #STEP NOM.

When correcting the voltage, the reference voltage U1 is left constant and the corresponding U2 corrected.

GOOSE Application
It is possible to transfer a transformer tap setting per GOOSE via the Ethernet from a SIPROTEC device (e.g.
6MD66x) to the device 7VE632x for evaluation in the synchronization function. For this purpose, the trans-
former tap message in the transmitter must be configured to the target system interface. In receiver 7VE632x
an external metered value is required from the information catalog for detection of the external transformer
tap. This metered value must be configured to source system interface. The "link" between transmitter and
receiver is effected in the station configuration (see Manual “Ethernet & IEC 61850, Start Up”).
The external metered value can now be selected in the synchronization function in the transformer-tap tab.
The settings for the transformer taps must be set as set out above.
72 SIPROTEC 4, 7VE61 and 7VE63, Manual
C53000-G1176-C163-3, Edition 10.2017
Note:
In case of an termination of the communication link between transmitter and receiver, the value of the
transformer tap is marked “invalid” and a running synchronization is terminated. Tracking of the
external transformer tap is not possible!
An invalid transformer tap setting is transmitted by GOOSE as “63”. This is detected by 7VE632x, which
marks all measured values as “invalid”.
In accordance with IEC 61850, the transformer taps only transmit integers. The transmission of intervals
is thus not possible.
Frequency and Voltage Balancing
Balancing commands can be output only by the device variants 7VE6***-*****-*C or D. This functionality can be also used if at least one of the parameters 6170 U BALANCING and 6180 f BALANCING in contrast to the delivery setting is not set to OFF, but one of the alternatives offered is selected. For actuator pulses to a voltage controller U BALANCING = Pulse is selected for control of a transformer tap switch = Tap changer.
For adaptation of the balancing commands to the characteristic of the voltage controller, in addresses 6171 to 6174 the actuator, the pause times and the rate of voltage change are set.
Voltage Balancing Pulses
With the parameters 6130 dU ASYN U2>U1 and 6131 dU ASYN U2<U1 for a synchronous parallel connec­tion a range is extended for the admissible voltage difference whose average value is adopted as a target value for the balancing commands.
The parameter 6171 T U PULS MIN establishes the duration of the minimum actuator pulse, with parameter 6172 T U PULS MAX that of the maximum actuator pulse. The latter establishes also the duration of the (constant) actuator pulses for the transformer tap switches.
The minimum actuator pulse is set by the reaction of the controller or of the entire system and is to be estab­lished on commissioning.
The maximum actuator time is intended to avoid excessive overshoot on large ΔU. The appropriate setting value is to be established on commissioning.
The parameter 6173 dU2 / dt informs the device of the rate of change of the controller. The following formula results from this:

Example:
Setting value 6130 Setting value 6131dU ASYN U2<U1 = 2 V Setting value 6173 dU2 / dt = 2 V/s actually measured dU = –4 V
These setting values and the measure value result in the following actuator time: ΔUact = I dU – 0.5 · (Parameter 6130 – Parameter 6131) I = I –4 V–0,5 · (2 V – 2 V) I = 4 V
[ve6-stellimpulse-spannung-beispiel-170403-kn, 1, en_GB]
Depending on the sign i.e. whether U2 is smaller or larger than U1, the actuator direction (“higher” or “lower”) is established. In the example “higher” pulses are output. The resulting times are checked against the parame­ters for minimum (6171) and maximum (6172) pulse time. If the calculated time for the actuator pulse is less than the minimum pulse time, a pulse with minimum pulse time is output. If the time for the actuator pulse is greater than the maximum pulse time, the actuator pulse is limited to the maximum pulse time. For this the

long actuator pulse is divided into multiple shorter pulses, which are interrupted by the pause time 6174 T U
PAUSE. Using the numerical values of the example and a setting of the parameter 6172 T U PULS MAX = 1 s
a division on two one second pulses resulted. If the parameter 6172 T U PULS MAX is set to ∞ there is no
time restriction and a continuous pulse is output until the calculated time has expired.
In case of very unsettled power system conditions it may be advantageous to filter the measured values. With
parameter 6175 SMOOTHING U, which is only accessible under DIGSI, a smoothing mean value formation can
be selected with the stages 1 (weak smoothing) to 10 (strong smoothing). Normally, the default setting (1) is
sufficient. With setting 0 no smoothing is required.
Overexcitation Limitation
In combination with the frequency adjustment the overexcitation (U/f) is continually monitored. In case of
exceeding parameter 6176 (U/Un) / (f/fn), which is accessible under DIGSI, the target voltage for the
voltage adjustment of side 2 (U2) is reduced or limited to the maximum permissible value. The voltage adjust-
ment value is derived from the limitation of ΔU

Figure 2-39 Determining frequency balancing pulses
The parameter 6181 T f PULS MIN establishes the duration of the minimum actuator pulse, with parameter 6182 T f PULS MAX that of the maximum actuator pulse.
The parameter 6183 df2 / dt informs the device of the rate of change of the controller. The following formula results from this:
[ve6-stellimpulse-frequenz-gleichung-170303-kn, 1, en_GB]
Example:
Setting value 6132
df ASYN f2>f1 = 0.1 Hz Setting value 6183 df2 / dt = 1 Hz/s Setting value 6185 Δf SET POINT = 0.04 Hz actually measured df = +0.5 Hz
These setting values and the measure value result in the following actuator time: Δf SET POINT = 0.5 · 0.1 Hz = + 0.05 Hz Δfact = I df – Δf SET POINT I = I +0.5 Hz – 0.04 Hz I = 0.46 Hz
[ve6-stellimpulse-frequenz-beispiel-170403-kn, 1, en_GB]
The minimum actuator pulse is set by the reaction of the controller or of the entire system and is to be estab­lished on commissioning.
The maximum actuator time is intended to avoid excessive overshoot on large Δf. The appropriate setting value is to be established on commissioning.
Depending on the sign i.e. whether f2 is smaller or larger than f1, the actuator direction (“higher” or “lower” is established. In the example “lower” pulses are output. The resulting times are checked against the parameters for minimum (6181) and maximum (6182) pulse time. If the calculated time for the actuator pulse is less than the minimum pulse time, a pulse with minimum pulse time is output. If the time for the actuator pulse is greater than the maximum pulse time, the actuator pulse is limited to the maximum pulse time. For this the long actuator pulse is divided into multiple shorter pulses, which are interrupted by the pause time 6184 T f

PAUSE. If the parameter 6182 T U PULS MAX is set to ∞ there is no time restriction and a continuous pulse is output until the calculated time has expired.
In particular with hydro-electric power stations, generator rotation speed can be subject to fluctuations. Actuator commands established from a current frequency value could thus be incorrect. The option is there­fore provided using the parameter 6186 SMOOTHING f of subjecting the frequency difference to an aver­aging with different smoothing factors 1 to 10.
If the frequency difference is Δf ≈ 0 i.e. the generator runs in synchronism with the power system but the connection conditions are not yet fulfilled, synchronization would not be possible or would take a very long time. In such cases a “kick impulse” can be issued if the parameter 6187 KICK PULSE = ON was selected and kick impulses thus enabled. These are issued only if the duration until synchronism exceeds an adjustable time set by parameters 6189 T SW-ON MIN. This insures that kick impulses are not issued immediately before synchronism is achieved, but only if the voltage vectors are not coinciding in the immediate future. For the set value of the parameter 6189 applies the formula: T SW-ON MIN ≈ 1/(2·Δf). The highest of the both set values of the parameter 6132 df ASYN f2>f1 and 6133 df ASYN f2<f1 are selected for Δf.
The kick impulse is initiated in the direction of the parameter setting from Δf KICK (according to the positive or negative signs of the frequency value). Its length is calculated from the frequency change df2/dt and the set value of the parameter 6188 Δf KICK.

2.4 Undervoltage Protection

2.4
2.4.1
Undervoltage Protection
Undervoltage protection detects voltage dips in electrical machines and devices and avoids inadmissible oper­ating states and possible loss of stability. In order to achieve all applications, a selected voltage is pulled over to one of the 6 voltage transformers for the undervoltage protection.
The undervoltage protection together with the overvoltage protection, the vector jump relay, the frequency change protection and the frequency protection forms a criterion for the network decoupling.

Functional Description

Undervoltage protection consists of two stages. A pickup is signalled as soon as selectable voltage thresholds are undershot. A trip signal is transmitted if a voltage pickup exists for a selectable time.
In order to ensure that the protection does not accidentally pick up due to a secondary voltage failure, each stage can be blocked individually or both stages together, via binary input(s), e.g. using a voltage transformer mcb.
The protection is active via a wide frequency range. The full sensitivity is ensured in the range in which the frequency response is corrected (0.5 · fN to 1.5 · fN). The input signal is attenuated outside this frequency
correction range in such way that the undervoltage protection as well as the sensitive tend to overreact. The following figure shows the logic diagram for undervoltage protection.

Typically a phase-to-phase voltage is connected, a phase-earth voltage may also be used however. In the latter case the pickup thresholds must be matched accordingly.
The first undervoltage protection stage is typically set to about 75% of the nominal machine voltage, i.e. address 4002 U< = 75 V is set. The user must select a value for the 4003 T U< time setting that ensures that voltage dips which would affect operating stability are disconnected. On the other hand, the time delay must be large enough to avoid disconnections during admissible short-time voltage dips.
For the second stage, a lower pickup threshold 4004 U<< e.g. = 65 V should be combined with a shorter trip time 4005 T U<< e.g. = 0.5 s to perform an approximate adaptation to the stability behaviour of the consumers.
All setting times are additional time delays which do not include the operating times (measuring time, dropout time) of the protective function.
The drop-out ratio can be adapted in small steps to the operating conditions at address 4006 U< DOUT RATIO.

2.5 Overvoltage Protection

2.5
2.5.1
Overvoltage Protection
Overvoltage protection serves to protect the electrical machine and connected electrical plant components from the effects of inadmissible voltage increases. Overvoltages can be caused by incorrect manual operation of the excitation system, faulty operation of the automatic voltage regulator, (full) load shedding of a gener­ator, separation of the generator from the system or during island operation.

Functional Description

The overvoltage protection monitors one of the 6 voltage inputs of the device 7VE61 and 7VE63. A phase­tophase voltage is usually connected. In case of a high overvoltage, tripping switchoff is performed with a shorttime delay, whereas in case of less severe overvoltages, the switchoff is performed with a longer time delay. Voltage thresholds and time delays can be set individually for both elements.
Each stage can be blocked individually and/or for both stages can be blocked, via binary input(s). The following figure shows the logic diagram for the overvoltage protection function.

Typically a phase-to-phase voltage is connected, a phase-earth voltage may also be used however. In the latter case the pickup thresholds must be matched accordingly
The setting of limit values and time delays of the overvoltage protection depends on the speed with which the voltage regulator can regulate voltage variations. The protection must not intervene in the regulation process of the faultlessly functioning voltage regulator. For this reason, the two-stage characteristic must always be above the voltage time characteristic of the regulation procedure.
The long-time stage 4102 U> and 4103 T U> must intervene in case of steady-state overvoltages. It is set to approximately 110 % to 115 % U4103 T U> and, depending on the regulator speed, to a range between 1.5 s and 5 s.
In case of a full-load rejection of the generator, the voltage increases first in relation to the transient voltage. Only then does the voltage regulator reduce it again to its nominal value. The U>> stage is set generally as a short-time stage in a way that the transient procedure for a full-load rejection does not lead to a tripping. Usual are e.g. for 4104 U>> about 130 % UN with a delay 4105 T U>> from zero to 0.5 s.
All setting times are additional time delays which do not include the operating times (measuring time, dropout time) of the protective function.
The dropout ratio can be adapted at the address 4106 U> DOUT RATIO in small stages to the operating conditions and used for highly precise signalizations (e.g. network infeed of wind power stations).

2.6 Frequency Protection

2.6.1
Frequency Increase and Decrease
Frequency Protection
The frequency protection function detects abnormally high and low frequencies in the generator. If the frequency lies outside the permissible range, appropriate switching actions are initiated, e.g. separating the generator from the system.
A decrease in system frequency occurs when the system experiences an increase in real power demand, or when a malfunction occurs with a generator governor or automatic generation control (AGC) system. The frequency protection function is also used for generators which (for a certain time) operator to an island network. This is due to the fact that the reverse power protection cannot operate in case of drive power failure. The generator can be disconnected from the power system by means of the frequency decrease protection.
An increase in system frequency occurs e.g. when large loads (island network) are removed from the system, or on frequency control malfunction. This entails risk of self-excitation for generators feeding long lines under no-load conditions.
Due to the use of filter functions, the frequency evaluation is free from harmonic influences and very accurate.

Functional Description

Frequency protection consists of the four frequency elements f1 to f4. To make protection flexible for different power system conditions, theses stages can be used alternatively for frequency decrease or increase separately, and can be independently set to perform different control functions. The setting decides on the purpose of the individual frequency stage. For the f4 frequency stage, the user can specify independently of the parameterized limit value if this stage shall function as decrease or increase stage. For this reason, it can also be used for special applications, if, for example, frequency undershoot below the nominal frequency is to be signaled.
Operating Range
The frequency can be determined as long as there is a sufficiently high voltage at the selected input. If the measurement voltage drops below a settable value Umin, frequency protection is disabled because precise frequency values can no longer be calculated from the signal.
Time Delays/Logic
Trippings can be delayed each using an added time stage. When the time delay expires, a trip signal is gener­ated. After pickup dropout the tripping command is immediately reset, but not before the minimum command duration has expired.
Each of the four frequency stages can be blocked individually by binary inputs. The following figure shows the logic diagram for the frequency protection function.

Setting Notes

Frequency protection is only in effect and accessible if address 142 FREQUENCY Prot. is set to Enabled during configuration of protective functions. If the function is not required Disabled is set. Address 4201 O/U FREQUENCY serves to switch the function ON or OFF or to block only the trip command (Block relay).
By configuring the rated frequency of the power system and the frequency threshold for each of the stages f1 PICKUP to f4 PICKUP in each case the function is established as either overvoltage or undervoltage protec­tion. Set the pickup threshold lower than nominal frequency if the element is to be used for underfrequency protection. Set the pickup threshold higher than nominal frequency if the element is to be used for overfre­quency protection.
For the f4 frequency stage, the former applies only if the parameter 4214 THRESHOLD f4 is set to auto- matic (default setting). If desired, this parameter can also be set to f> or f<, in which case the evaluation direction (increase or decrease detection) can be specified independent of the parametrized f4 PICKUP threshold.
If frequency protection is used for network decoupling and load shedding purposes, settings depend on the actual network conditions. Normally a graded load shedding is strived for that takes into account priorities of consumers or consumer groups.
Further application examples are covered under power stations. The frequency values to be set mainly depend, also in these cases, on power system/power station operator specifications. In this context, frequency decrease protection ensures the power station's own demand by disconnecting it from the power system on time. The turbo regulator regulates the machine set to the nominal speed. Consequently, the station's own demands can be continuously supplied at nominal frequency.
NOTE
If the threshold is set equal to the nominal frequency, the element is inactive.

2.6 Frequency Protection
Under the assumption that apparent power is reduced to the same degree, turbine-driven generators can, as a rule, be continuously operated down to 95 % of nominal frequency. However, for inductive consumers, the frequency reduction not only means greater current consumption but also endangers stable operation. For this reason, only a short-time frequency reduction down to about 48 Hz (for fN = 50 Hz) or 58 Hz (for fN = 60
Hz) is permissible. A frequency increase can, for example, occur due to a load shedding or malfunction of the speed regulation
(e.g. in a stand-alone system). In this way, the frequency increase protection can, for example, be used as overspeed protection.

Time Delays
The delay times T f1 to T f4 entered at addresses4204, 4207, 4210 and 4213) allow the frequency stages to be graded. The set times are additional delay times not including the operating times (measuring time, dropout time) of the protective function.

Address 4215 Umin is used to set the minimum voltage which if undershot, frequency protection is blocked. A value of approx. 65 % UN is recommended. The parameter value is based on phase-to-phase voltages. The
minimum voltage threshold can be deactivated by setting this address to 0.

2.7 Rate-of-frequency-change protection

2.7
2.7.1
Measuring Principle
Frequency Increase/ Decrease
Rate-of-frequency-change protection
With the rate-of-frequency-change protection, frequency changes can be quickly detected. This allows a prompt response to frequency dips or frequency rises. A trip command can be issued even before the pickup threshold of the frequency protection (see Section 2.6 Frequency Protection) is reached.
Frequency changes occur for instance when there is an imbalance between the generated and the required active power. They call for control measures on the one hand and for switching actions on the other hand. These can be unburdening measures, such as network decoupling, or disconnection of loads (load shedding). The sooner these measures are taken after malfunctioning, the more effective they will be.
The two main applications for this protection function are thus network decoupling and load shedding.

Functional Description

From the voltage at the selected input, the frequency is determined once per cycle over a measuring window of 3 cycles, and a mean value of two consecutive frequency measurements is formed. The frequency differ­ence is then determined over a settable time interval (default setting 5 cycles). The ratio between frequency difference and time difference corresponds to the frequency change; it can be positive or negative. The meas­urement is performed continuously (per cycle). Monitoring functions such as undervoltage monitoring, check for phase angle jumps etc. to avoid overfunctioning.
The rate-of-frequency-change protection has four stages, from df1/dt to df4/dt. This allows the function to be adapted variably to all power system conditions. The stages can be set to detect either frequency decreases (­df/dt) or frequency increases (+df/dt). The -df/dt stage is only active for frequencies below the rated frequency, or less if the underfrequency enabling is activated. Likewise, the df/dt stage is active for frequencies above the rated frequency, or higher, if the overfrequency enabling is activated. The parameter setting decides for what purpose the particular stage will be used.
To avoid a proliferation of setting parameters, the settable measuring window for the frequency difference formation and the dropout difference are each valid for two stages.
Operating Ranges
The frequency can be determined as long as there is a sufficiently strong voltage at the selected input. If the measurement voltage drops below a settable value U MIN, frequency protection is disabled because precise frequency values can no longer be calculated from the signal.
Time Delays/Logic
Tripping can be delayed by a set time delay associated with each applied time stage. This is recommended for monitoring of small gradients. When the time delay expires, a trip signal is generated. After pickup dropout the tripping command is immediately reset, but not before the minimum command duration has expired.
Each of the four frequency change stages can be blocked individually by binary input. The undervoltage blocking acts on all stages simultaneously.

Setting Notes

General
The rate-of-frequency-change protection is only effective and accessible if during the configuration address 145 df/dt Protect. has been set accordingly. 2 or 4 stages can be selected. The default setting is 2 df/dt stages.
At address 4501 df/dt Protect., the function ON or OFF can be set, or only the trip command can be blocked (Block relay).
Pickup Values
The setting procedure is the same for all stages. In a first step, it must be determined whether the stage is to monitor a frequency rise at f>fN or a frequency drop at f<fN. For stage 1, for instance, this setting is made at
address4502 df1/dt >/<. The pickup value is set as an absolute value at address 4503 STAGE df1/dt. The setting of address 4502 informs the protection function of the applicable sign.
The pickup value depends on the application and is determined by power system conditions. In most cases, a network analysis will be necessary. A sudden disconnection of loads leads to a surplus of active power. The frequency rises and causes a positive frequency change. A failure of generators, on the other hand, leads to a deficit of active power. The frequency drops and leads to a negative frequency change.
The following relations can be used as an example for estimation. They apply for the change rate at the begin­ning of a frequency change (approx. 1 second).

Time Delays
The delay time should be set to zero wherever the protection function is supposed to respond very quickly. This will be the case with high setting values. For the monitoring of small changes (< 1Hz/s), on the other hand, a small delay time can be useful to avoid overfunctioning. The delay time for stage 1 is set at address 4504 T df1/dt, and the time set there is added to the protection operating time.
Release by the Frequency Protection
The parameter df1/dt & f1 (Address 4505) is used to set the release of the stage from a certain frequency threshold on. For this the pertinent frequency stage of the frequency protection is queried. In the setting example this is stage f1. To exclude coupling of the two functions, the parameter can be set to OFF (default setting).
Advanced Parameters
The advanced parameters allow setting each for two stages (e.g. df1/dt and df2/dt) the dropout difference and the measuring window. This setting can only be done with the DIGSI communication software.

2.8 Jump of Voltage Vector

2.8
2.8.1
Frequency Behaviour on Load Shedding
Jump of Voltage Vector
Sometimes consumers with their own generating plant feed power directly into a network. The incoming feeder line is usually the ownership boundary between the network utility and these consumers/producers. A failure of the input feeder line, for example, due to a three-pole automatic reclosure, can result in a deviation of the voltage or frequency at the feeding generator which is a function of the overall power balance. When the incoming feeder line is switched on again after the dead time, asynchronous conditions may prevail that cause damage to the generator or the gear train between generator and drive.
One way to identify an interruption of the incoming feeder is to monitor the phase angle in the voltage. If the incoming feeder fails, the abrupt current interruption causes a phase angle jump in the voltage. This jump is detected by means of a delta process. As soon as a preset threshold is exceeded, an opening command for the generator or bus-tie coupler circuit-breaker is issued.
This means that the vector jump function is mainly used for network decoupling.

Functional Description

The following figure shows the evolution of the frequency when a load is disconnected from a generator. Opening of the generator circuit breaker causes a phase angle jump that can be observed in the frequency measurement as a frequency jump. The generator is accelerated in accordance with the power system condi­tions (see also Section 2.7 Rate-of-frequency-change protection “Rate-of-Frequency-Change Protection”).
[veraenderung-der-frequenz-nach-lastabschaltg-020904-ho, 1, en_GB]
Figure 2-44
Measuring Principle
The voltage vector is calculated from the voltage at the selected input, and the phase angle change is deter­mined over a delta interval of 2 cycles. The presence of a phase angle jump indicates an abrupt change of current flow. The basic principle is shown in the following figure. The diagram on the left shows the steady state, and the diagram on the right the vector change following a load shedding. The vector jump is clearly visible.

Figure 2-45 Voltage Vector Following Load Shedding
The function features a number of additional measures to avoid spurious tripping, such as:
Correction of steady-state deviations from rated frequency
Frequency operating range limited to fN ± 3 Hz
Logic
Minimum voltage for enabling
Blocking on voltage connection or disconnection
The logic is shown in the following figure. The phase angle comparison determines the angle difference, and compares it with the set value. If this value is exceeded, the vector jump is stored in a RS flip-flop. Trippings can be delayed by the associated time delay.
The stored pickup can be reset via a binary input, or automatically by a timer (address 4604 T RESET). The vector jump function becomes ineffective on exiting the admissible frequency band. The same applies for
the voltage. In such a case the limiting parameters are U MIN and U MAX. If the frequency or voltage range is not maintained, the logic generates a logical 1, and the reset input is
continuously active. The result of the vector jump measurement is suppressed. If, for instance, the voltage is connected, and the frequency range is correct, the logical 1 changes to 0. The timer T BLOCK with reset delay keeps the reset input active for a certain time, thus preventing a pickup caused by the vector jump function.
If a short-circuit causes the voltage to drop abruptly to a low value, the reset input is immediately activated to block the function. The vector jump function is thus prevented from causing a trip.

Setting Notes

General
The vector jump protection is only effective and available if address 146 VECTOR JUMP is set to Enabled during configuration.
Address 4601 VECTOR JUMP serves to switch the function ON or OFF or to block only the trip command (Block relay).
Pickup Values
The value to be set for the vector jump (address 4602 DELTA PHI) depends on the feed and load conditions. Abrupt active power changes cause a jump of the voltage vector. The value to be set must be established in accordance with the particular power system. This can be done on the basis of the simplified equivalent circuit of the diagram “Voltage Vector after a Load Shedding” in the Functional Description section, or using network calculation software.
If a setting is too sensitive, the protection function is likely to perform a network decoupling every time loads are connected or disconnected. Therefore the default setting is 10°.
The admissible voltage operating range can be set at addresses 4605 für U MIN and 4606 für U MAX. Setting range limits are to some extent a matter of the utility's policy. The value for U MIN should be below the admissible level of short voltage dips for which network decoupling is desired. The default setting is 80 % of the nominal voltage. For U MAX the maximum admissible voltage must be selected. This will be in most cases 130 % of the nominal voltage
Logic Diagram of the Vector Jump Detection
Time Delays
The time delay T DELTA PHI (address 4603) should be left at zero, unless you wish to transmit the trip indi­cation with a delay to a logic (CFC), or to leave enough time for an external blocking to take effect.

After expiry of the timer T RESET (address 4604), the protection function is automatically reset. The reset time depends on the decoupling policy. It must have expired before the circuit breaker is reclosed. Where the automatic reset function is not used, the timer is set to ∞. The reset signal must come in this case from the binary input (circuit breaker auxiliary contact).
The timer T BLOCK with reset delay (address 4607) helps to avoid overfunctioning when voltages are connected or disconnected. Normally the default setting need not be changed. Any change can be performed with the DIGSI communication software (advanced parameters). It must be kept in mind that T BLOCK should always be set to more than the measuring window for vector jump measurement (2 cycles).
