adapted according to the performance class (SvcClass) and reporting rate of the connected
instance of PHASORREPORT function block. On the other hand, when 3PHSUM uses
external DFT reference, it also adapts its filtering according to the SMAI reference block.
Therefore, in order to avoid two different filtering applied to the 3PHSUM block, both
SMAI reference block and 3PHSUM shall be connected to the same PHASORREPORT
instance. In this example (Figure
47), SMAI3 adapts its filtering according to
PHASORREPORT1 instance 2 (due to connection) and 3PHSUM is adapting its filtering
according to PHASORREPORT1 instance 1. On the other hand, since 3PHSUM is set to
receive external DFT reference from SMAI3, therefore If settings for
PHASORREPORT1 instances 1 and 2 above differ for SvcClass or ReportRate, then
3PHSUM block will be affected by two different filtering at the same time which is not
possible. For example in Figure
47, PHASOR2 from PHASORREPORT1 instance 1 may
not be fully compliant with IEEE C37.118 standard.
Note: If the SMAI reference block is not connected to any PHASORREPORT block, then
3PHSUM block can be freely connected to any PHASORREPORT block regardless of its
DFT reference setting.
Note: If more 3PHSUM blocks need to be used, all 3PHSUM blocks (using external DFT
ref) have to be connected to the same instance of PHASORREPORT blocks
(PHASOR1-32 of Instance number 1 or 2).
Note: If settings SvcClass and ReportRate are the same for different instances of
PHASORREPORT blocks, then 3PHSUM block can be freely connected to any of them
regardless of 3PHSUM block DFT reference setting or the reference SMAI block
connection.
Note: Violation of rules 2 or 3 results in non-compliancy with IEEE C37.118 standard for
some of the synchrophasors. In case of rule 2 violation, the non-compliancy only applies
to synchrophasors from instance 2 and the synchrophasors from instance 1 will be still
compliant. The non-compliancy with the standard may be quite obvious as in case of rule
2 violation with different SvcClass settings. This produces big angle error. On the other
hand, it may be difficult to detect the non-compliancy with the standard if rule 2 is violated
with different ReportRates, or if rule 3 is violated. In such cases, the synchrophasors may
only fail to comply (with small error) in some particular test case(s).
