Presentation On Event Logger

The document discusses event loggers used in power grids. It describes how event loggers record event information with timestamps for operators. Common events monitored include equipment statuses, protection operations, and health monitoring. It emphasizes the importance of synchronization between loggers. Several specific event loggers are also summarized, including their hardware, functions, menus, and time synchronization methods.

EVENT LOGGERS

O B J E C T I V E S

➢ To understand the general requirements of event


loggers
➢ Functions of event loggers
➢ Description of few event loggers used in
POWERGRID
• Event logger is a sequential digital
data acquisition system
• Recorded event information will be
presented to operator through VDUs
or printers along with date & time
stamping
• Event information includes alarm and
return to normal status
General events being monitored in typical 400kV
substations includes,
• Isolator and breaker close/ open status
• Breaker troubles
• Protection operations like over voltage, distance
protection,
• Unit protection of transformers and reactors
• Health status of protection equipment, like DC
failures
• Its own health status and synchronization status
• Typical no. of events per feeder with reactor are
75
TIME SYNCHRONISATION
• Event loggers and disturbance
recorders of all the stations in an
interconnected grid need to be time
synchronized with a common time
source.
• This will facilitate analysis of
trippings and identify ‘WHAT FIRST’
Functioning of EL
• Field input voltage will be applied to
contact to be monitored
• Field data will be connected to Event
logger acquisition unit through optically
isolated ports
• Change over of contact will be recorded by
built in micro processors
• Date& time stamp will be attached and
output will be displayed
✓HATHAWAY SER 7000

✓PERM 200

✓S 900
HATHAWAY SER 7000
• 512 points event logger
• Consists of 8 intelligent scanner cards with 64
inputs per card
• Can have external or internal field supplies
• 1 m.sec resolution
• Event legend of 60 characters max. will be stored
in main controller
• Auxiliary controller is optional to have legend for
return to normal.
• Expandable up 1024 points with the addition of an
expansion chassis with 8 scanner cards
HARDWARE
DESCRIPTION
• Power supply cards
• Scanner cards
• Main controller
• Auxiliary controller
Operator console

• Menu driven configuration


• Modifying the parameters can have
password protection
• Menu can be displayed by command
“LM” or “HE”
Significant menu commands

• LM - List menu
• AS - Alarm Summary
• EL - Edit Legends
• EP - Edit synthesized points
• FT - Functional test
• LC - List system configuration
• LE - List exceptions
• LH - List Historical buffer
• LL - List legends
Significant menu commands
• LS - List status
• LU - List events since last LU
• MC - Modify system configuration
• ML - Modify legends
• MP - Modify Password
• MS - Modify Status
• RS - Reset the SER
• TI - Print current time
• TS - Time set
Description of menu
commands

MC – modify configuration
• Modify the RS 232C port assignments except
port 0
• Configure the ports – data bits, parity& baud rate
• To assign the backup port in case assigned printer
port fails
• Enable/ disable scanners
• To assign list functions PW protection
• To assign the station name & number
• To assign time synchronization point
Description of menu
commands
FT – Functional test

• Verifies all the active inputs are being


processed and accepted by input logic
• FN – functional failure – stays in normal
• FA - functional failure – stays in alarm
Time synchronisation
• Any point can be assigned as synchronization
source with hourly pulse input
• Any pulse coming on this input within +/-5 min. to
hour will reset the clock to nearest hour
• IRIG B source can be used for time
synchronization if aux. controller is available
• In case of IRIG B source time quality characters
will be displayed after every time printout
• These characters (?, #, *, ., m, e) indicates worst
case error and presence of IRIG B signal
PERM 200
• Basically not an standalone event logger
• Stands for “Programmable equipment for
relaying and measurement”
• Designed for applications which includes
event logging, tele-control& indication
power station metering etc.
• Can be used as an RTU with proper
interface
Description of menu
commands
• PT - Print Time
• PD - Print Date
• RT - Reset Time
• RD - Reset Date
• IM - Inhibit (exhibiting/ printing) Messages
• IL - Inhibited Message Listing
• EM - Enable Messages
• EL - Enabled Messages Listing
Description of menu
commands
• SM - Shelve Messages
• SL - Shelved Messages Listing
• PL - Plant Status
• AL - Alarm Status
• DM - Define Messages
External clock sync
• Clock sync input is through an opto
isolator
– If pulse occurs between
• 0 to 9 Sec – system resets to 0 Sec
• 10 to 39 Sec – system resets to 30 Sec
• 40 to 60 Sec – system resets to 0 Sec of
next min.
S 900
• Basically not an standalone event logger
• Being used as RTU in northern region
• Consists of PCU, CPU, SAU and DAU cards
• PCU – power converter unit provides
required DC voltages
• SAU – responsible for communication
needs
• DAU – Digital acquisition unit
Configuration
• Event logging is through windows hyper terminal
• Any database changes like editing the legends is
to be made through GBD 900 software.
• Changes made in GBD 900 are to be compiled and
HEX file is to be created
• HEX file thus created need to be sent to EL
through WINLOAD program
• Time synchronization is through IRIG B port
