5. Supported ABB solutions
The 615 series protection relays together with the
Substation Management Unit COM600F constitute
a genuine IEC 61850 solution for reliable power
distribution in utility and industrial power systems.
To facilitate the system engineering, ABB's relays
are supplied with connectivity packages. The
connectivity packages include a compilation of
software and relay-specific information, including
single-line diagram templates and a full relay data
model. The data model includes event and
parameter lists. With the connectivity packages,
the relays can be readily configured using PCM600
and integrated with COM600F or the network
control and management system MicroSCADA Pro.
The 615 series relays offer native support for IEC
61850 Edition 2 also including binary and analog
bus with the sending of sampled values of analog
currents and voltages and the receiving of sampled
values of voltages is supported. Compared to
traditional hard-wired, inter-device signaling, peer-
to-peer communication over a switched Ethernet
LAN offers an advanced and versatile platform for
power system protection. Among the distinctive
features of the protection system approach,
enabled by the full implementation of the IEC 61850
substation automation standard, are fast
communication capability, continuous supervision
of the protection and communication system's
integrity, and an inherent flexibility regarding
reconfiguration and upgrades.This protection relay
series is able to optimally utilize interoperability
provided by the IEC 61850 Edition 2 features.
At substation level, COM600F uses the data content
of the baylevel devices to enhance substation level
functionality. COM600F features a Web browser-
based HMI, which provides a customizable
graphical display for visualizing single-line mimic
diagrams for switchgear bay solutions. The SLD
feature is especially useful when 615 series relays
without the optional single-line diagram feature are
used. The Web HMI of COM600F also provides an
overview of the whole substation, including relay-
specific single-line diagrams, which makes
information easily accessible. Substation devices
and processes can also be remotely accessed
through the Web HMI, which improves personnel
safety. In addition, COM600F can be used as a local
data warehouse for the substation's technical
documentation and for the network data collected
by the devices. The collected network data
facilitates extensive reporting and analyzing of
network fault situations by using the data historian
and event handling features of COM600F. The
historical data can be used for accurate monitoring
of process and equipment performance, using
calculations based on both real-time and historical
values. A better understanding of the process
dynamics is achieved by combining time-based
process measurements with production and
maintenance events.
COM600F can also function as a gateway and
provide seamless connectivity between the
substation devices and network-level control and
management systems, such as MicroSCADA Pro and
System 800xA.
