software and labour necessary to complete the job. This shall include all items that are not
specifically mentioned or included in the specification, but needed to complete the work, without
extra cost to ADWEA.
For SCMS requirements, the specification contains descriptions and definitions of the
functionality, performance, architecture and documentation for the system. Technical data sheets,
architecture drawings, and other documents also form part of the specifications.
The SCMS shall conform in all respects to high standards of engineering design and
workmanship, and should be capable of performing continuous commercial operation within the
parameters guaranteed by the Bidder/Contractor in a manner acceptable to ADWEA.
Bidder/Contractor should be aware that ADWEA will reject the whole SCMS supply during the
design and engineering phase of the project, if the performance of the similar system was not
satisfactory from the previous installations and, if the control scheme offered is not in
accordance with the technical specifications and the guaranteed parameters.

2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

2.1 SCMS System Requirements

2.1.1 Basic Design Requirements

The SCMS shall be a modern, but well proven, microprocessor technology based system. The
architecture shall be built with distributed intelligence as an automated real-time process engine
for data acquisition, processing, transmission, storage and archival, graphical presentation and
display. All components shall be of approved and reliable design with the highest attainable
attributes for uniformity, interoperability and inter-change-ability. The design shall be modular
to facilitate easy maintenance, fault diagnosis and repair of the components, and to support
installation and expansion in increments. It shall be possible to alter, extend or upgrade any
element of the substation by simple addition of hardware with the necessary software
augmentation and configuration.
SCMS shall be designed as an amalgamation of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs),
communication equipment, database and workstation computers, HMIs, gateways, software and
all necessary components. The most suitable control system architectures are shown in the block
diagrams (ADWEA CPS 01 01, ADWEA CPS 01 02 & ADWEA CPS 01 03) attached with this

S-CPS-SCMS (Rev.0-2006) Page 4 of 37

Substation Control & Monitoring System (SCMS)

enquiry document. The system offered shall provide reliable, safe and efficient operation of the
substation plant items at all times with an availability figure of 99.98 percent.
All control system equipment and control points shall be powered by a secure means of supply
derived from the substation 110 V batteries. AC driven components such as system/database and
printer servers, workstation computers, monitors, printers and other peripheral devices shall
remain operational in the event of AC supply failure, drawing auxiliary power from an UPS
connected to a dual input supply from both the 110 V station batteries and an incoming AC
supply.
Data acquisition modules, digital and analogue, in both decentralized units (eg. BCU or BCPU)
and common units shall be provided with 25% spare capacity after meeting the scope of Work in
accordance with the specification. However, for main computers (Database Computers), the
equipment shall be supplied with adequate memory for the required task with 25 percent spare
capacity for future use. The hard disc capacity should be adequate to satisfy the requirements of
the operating system, support and diagnostic, and application software with 40 percent spare
capacity.
The SCMS components and equipment shall be completely assembled and tested only at the
original manufacturer's workshop, e.g. wiring of boards, desks, etc., including installations of
internals, test of equipment, including combinations, i.e. systems of control, supervision and
protection equipment. All equipment shall be subjected to the full type and routine tests at the
workshop (manufacturer’s test field/laboratory) prior to shipment to site.
All instrumentation and control equipment shall be capable of continuous satisfactory operation
within the specified accuracy during a change of the supply voltage within the limits specified.

2.1.2 Requirements on Manufacturer's Experience and Local Support

Only experienced and technically capable manufacturer of control and protection systems for
electricity transmission and distribution applications will be accepted. Preferred manufactures
will be those who have robust experience in the supply of full-scale substation automation
systems and services. This experience has to be substantiated by means of reference installations
in actual service under similar environmental conditions for at least 2 years. In order to assess
the manufacturer's experience, the Bidder/Contractor is required to include the following in his
bid:
• Technical design, specification and description of the SCMS system
• Catalogues and brochures of equipment and devices offered
• Reference list.
The manufacturer shall assure for long-term maintenance and availability of spares. Moreover, a
guarantee shall be submitted for the availability of spares during the lifetime of the SCMS
equipment (not less than 15 years). The manufacturer shall give one-year notice of his intention
to cease manufacture of any components utilized in the contract works.

S-CPS-SCMS (Rev.0-2006) Page 5 of 37

 CONTROL-PROTECTION-SUPERVISION
Substation Control & Monitoring System (SCMS)

The Bidder/Contractor/Manufacturer shall also assure all software and hardware components of
SCMS have been proof tested and no replacement would be required during lifetime of
equipment. Where replacement of components required due to faulty operation and software
problems, the manufacturer shall provide a detail technical report evidencing the cause of failure
and remedies proposed. A guarantee shall be provided in particular for all software processes for
a period of 5 years from the date of commissioning of new/replaced SCMS components.
In addition to the above, the Bidder/Contractor shall provide a list of spares predicted as being
required during the first 5 years of operation, and additionally over the design lifetime of the
SCMS. The Bidder/Contractor shall quote only with a fixed price escalation formula for these
spares.
Also, the Bidder/Contractor shall offer contract agreement to build-up support organization to
tackle and trouble-shoot all kinds of technical problems relating to SCMS system, which shall
cover but not be limited to maintenance, up-gradation and expansion of the presently offered
system.

2.1.3 Control System Architecture

The SCMS shall monitor and control the entire substation. It shall be a fully integrated system to
bring together independently operating subsystems, such as SCADA, communication, protective
relaying, control of substation primary equipment, metering and alarm annunciation, into a
unified data acquisition, monitoring and control system in the substation. The maximum use
shall be made of digital information/communication resulting in minimal hard wiring. A LAN
shall be a backbone to allow coordination and integration of these subsystems.
The SCMS shall be designed to work in unison with the National Control Centre (NCC),
otherwise known as Load Despatch Centre (LDC), and related the Distribution Management
System Centres (DMS) in Abu Dhabi or Al Ain. In the control hierarchy, the NCC and/or DMSs
and DMS form the main control point for the majority control operations. A wide range of
controls, indications and alarms is required at NCC/ /DMS, which are described in the upcoming
sections of this specification.
With SCMS derived from a multitude of IEDs interconnected into the communication network,
only changes in the substation are normally required to be reported to the control centre, together
with the address to define which status or state of the process has changed. The report by
exception technique shall be followed by a regular background scan reporting of all data and
information, to ensure no loss of information and synchronization between the SCMS and
/NCC/DMS.
Selective and/or grouped data, acquired by the station database computer from the bay units,
shall be passed to the /NCC/DMS. Remote control of all items of plant from /NCC/DMS shall be
managed by the SCMS system. The SCMS shall manage the data to be exchanged with the
/NCC/DMS at such a rate as to satisfy /NCC/DMS response times established for existing
stations.

 CONTROL-PROTECTION-SUPERVISION
Substation Control & Monitoring System (SCMS)

2.1.4 Control Points

The SCMS shall be capable of providing control function from three independent points as listed
below. However, only one control point shall be capable of carrying out control functions at any
given time but it shall be possible to view the plant status, metering indications, control targets,
and other parameters from the other two control points.
• Local Control Point (LCP)
• Substation Control Point (SCP)
• Remote (NCC/ /DMS) control point (RCP).
LCP is the control point closest to the plant, providing local control facility to operate any
particular bay.
This control point shall be fully instrumented and provided with all indications and grouped
alarms necessary to operate the plant locally. It shall be fitted with a hardwired 3 position
lockable selector switch enabling the control function to be carried out at either the LCP (local
on the selector switch), the SCP (indicated as SCMS on the selector switch) and OFF (to block
all the digital control option altogether).
In addition to all-electronic local control available at LCP, a hardwired backup control capability
with discrepancy switches must be provided for the EHV/HV systems, to enable switchgear and
transformer operation with the associated BCU bypassed.
SCP is a facility at substation level to provide a means of controlling the entire substation via a
redundant system of control interface (PC based with keyboard and VDU). The SCP shall
display site graphical representation of plant configuration, alarms (audible & visual),
indications, analogue measured values, etc.
This control point shall permit the control of the substation to be taken from the RCP whenever
required. This control point shall also have a two position selector software switch to allow the
substation to be controlled from either RCP at the switch position indicated as NCC/DMS or
SCP at the switch position indicated as SCMS. This selector switch position shall only be
effective if the selector switch provided at LCP is set to the “SCMS” position.
RCP is the remote facility provided to enable the control of the substation to be taken from SCP.
This is a normal control, and results in the control of all circuits of within the substations being
transferred to RCP.

2.1.5 Tele-control Communication Interface

To provide a remote control, the SCMS shall be supplied with a redundant tele-control
communication interface to RCP (NCC/ /DMS), using the open system protocol IEC 60870-5-
101. This IEC link shall be single ported and shall provide direct and alternate communication
channels. The communication link shall normally work on the direct channel. Once the direct
link has failed, the data exchange must continue working over the alternative route within 2
seconds of the failure. The interface should force the connectivity of the direct route

S-CPS-SCMS (Rev.0-2006) Page 7 of 37

 CONTROL-PROTECTION-SUPERVISION
Substation Control & Monitoring System (SCMS)

automatically or manually once the failure has been corrected. The IEC-101 shall perform a half-
duplex operation as a polling protocol on 4 a wire modem circuit.
The interoperability task of IEC 101 protocol must be split into defining and drafting different
parts of the data communication process, such as transmission formats, control procedures,
performance and so on. The interface platform (hardware and firmware) shall not be restricted to
running a single subset of IEC 101 protocol. The NCC/DMS should scan periodically for
information on status change, alarms, events, metering values, tap-position indications, control
commands, parameter loading, integrated totals, file transfer, and station initialisation.
Changeover of the signalling line between the SCMS and the NCC/DMS shall not result in loss
or duplication of data (generally the NCC/DMS signals to the SCMS on one line, whilst the
SCMS signals to the NCC/DMS on both lines). The physical interface shall be designed suitably
to perform on an unbalanced mode as per V.24/V.28 ITU-T recommendations, as well as on a
balanced mode as per X.24/X.27 recommendations. For the balanced mode, the interface should
support a transfer speed of up to 64 kbps.

2.1.5.1 Inter Control Centre Protocol (ICCP)

If applicable, communication between DMS and NCC shall be based on the presently applied
IEC based TASE 2 Protocol (Inter Control Centre Protocol).

2.1.5.2 Inter-Operability Requirements

Bidder/Contractor must be cognisant of the joint responsibility needed with the LDC or DMS
Bidder/Contractor for defining the interoperability subsets in the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol for
harmonious exchange of data between the substation control system and NCC/DMS.
Furthermore, a proof of evidence shall be provided showing full involvement of the LDC or
DMS Bidder/Contractor as Sub-supplier to perform all work and services (system configuration,
database extension, testing & commissioning) necessary to integrate the new substation with the
NCC/DMS.
The volume of data to be exchanged is shown in the SCADA data list, see clause 3.3.

2.1.6 Functional Requirements

The functional facilities required of SCMS will vary depending upon the site and the importance
of the substation on the power system. The control system tasks shall form the subset of the
following generic substation functions.
1. Display of the dynamic station single line diagrams and individual feeder mimic diagrams
with status indication, alarm indications, bay signal list and SCMS hardware and process
supervision in graphical formats in a hierarchical screen presentation. Colors for the

DCDB), UPS and LV AC incomers (including section breaker). For both systems analogue
load values shall also be provided. Dedicated BCU shall be mounted in LVAC cubicle for
control and monitoring with sufficient number of analog and digital inputs/outputs.

 CONTROL-PROTECTION-SUPERVISION
Substation Control & Monitoring System (SCMS)

functions, CPU loading, software management, configuration management, system

security management, access security management, etc.
The Bidder/Contractor shall be cognizant of the design provisions needed for the following
functions:
• Interlocking for EHV/HV System
Switchgear and bay interlocking shall be provided at bay level as a distributed intelligence.
This software should not be resident in the station level computer as a central function
however the interlock logic conditions for permitting and inhibiting controls shall be
displayed in the workstation HMI. For EHV/HV systems, redundant interlocking schemes
shall be provided. The bay interlock shall be based on both software and hardwired logic
operating in a 2-Out-Of-2 mode under normal conditions. Facilities shall be provided for
the bypass of the software and hardwired interlocks separately and individually. Also,
display mimic diagram shall be provided on bay control units, backed up by a conventional
mimic board and hardwired control for EHV/HV systems.
• Interlocking for MV System
Switchgear and bay interlocking shall be provided at bay level as a distributed intelligence.
This software should not be resident in the station level computer as a central function
however the interlock logic conditions for permitting and inhibiting controls shall be
displayed in the workstation HMI. The bay interlock shall be based on both software and
hardwire logic (only for switching devices) operating under normal conditions.. A
hardwired interlock logic should be available for emergency operations in case of
failure/bypassing of bay level intelligence unit. Also, display mimic diagram shall be
provided on bay control units.
• AVR Control
For the AVR control the following hardware shall be provided in a dedicated suite of
transformer tap changer control panels:
− An automatic voltage regulation relay (AVR) having setting facilities for nominal
VT secondary voltage, sensing voltage dead-band, response time delay, load
resistance voltage drop compensation, load reactance voltage drop compensation,
low voltage inhibit, high voltage inhibit, over-current inhibit, circulating current
control, etc.
− Two nos. key operated 2 position switches (Local/Remote & Manual-Auto). (It may
be noted that there should be a Local/Remote switch available at the transformer
marshalling kiosk and this switch should be in Remote for any operations from tap
changer control panel/SCMS/DMS etc.)
When in auto, the automatic voltage regulation is in service, and when in manual, OLTC
operation is by push-button control at LCP (AVR Panel) or from the workstation HMI at
SCP, respectively. When in NCC/ /DMS either the auto or manual modes can be selected
from remote and, in the latter mode, raise/lower commands from NCC/ /DMS shall initiate

S-CPS-SCMS (Rev.0-2006) Page 12 of 37

 CONTROL-PROTECTION-SUPERVISION
Substation Control & Monitoring System (SCMS)

OLTC operation from the operator HMI.Further more, an emergency stop command shall
be provided to initiate instant cut off of power supply to the OLTC motor, as well as a
logic to inhibit parallel operation of more than two or three (to be adjusted as parameter)
transformers, if specified. The design shall be inclusive of a generic list of features to
prevent closing of a bus coupler/bus section if transformers are operating on unequal taps,
and indicate and safeguard against OLTC incomplete operation. The scheme shall provide
indication of raise/lower operation in progress, loss of dc control supply, motor overload
trip or loss of motor ac supply, unequal tap position of paralleled transformers, etc. Other
features include a voltmeter function for indication of transformer secondary voltage, a
winding temperature indicator (separately for primary and secondary sides) and a tap
position indicator, etc. The design shall be modular for the possibility of extension of
circuits to accommodate more future transformers. To drive the tap change mechanism, a
raise or lower command pulse of the order of 2 seconds is required. Any command to the
tap change mechanism should be responded with a tap change in progress signal (TCIP).
This signal must be received within 10 seconds of initiation of a tap change control pulse.
If a runaway tap change condition is detected the tap change motor must be tripped off-
line. The tap position indicator shall cater for up to 25 or more depending upon the
requirement. The tap changer operation must be blocked when the measured system
voltage falls below 80 percent of nominal, and transformer load exceeds 125 percent of
nominal. The tap change operation must not drive the system voltage by more than 1.5 kV
per minute. If more than one tap control action is required, then it shall be possible to delay
each subsequent tap by an inter tap delay time. This should be adjustable between 0 to 120
sec in 10 sec increments. For local control, manual tap raise / lower push buttons, tap
position indicator, and voltmeter shall be provided for each transformer on the tap change
cubicle.
• Check Synchronising
The synchronising control shall be presented with a pop-up window identifying the breaker
to be operated. The scheme shall employ an automatic approach whereby a selected
breaker is automatically closed once the synchronising conditions on either side of the
breaker are within limits. At workstations during an operator-initiated synchro-checked
breaker close sequence, the Running, Incoming, and Phase angle volts (RIP) shall be
displayed in a predefined area of the monitor screen. An independent hardwired manual
synchro check facility shall be provided (to facilitate control during emergency operating
conditions) with a common check synchronising relay mounted in the bus coupler/section
local control panel with synchro check / bypass selection switches in the respective feeder
bays. Also, automatic support of dead bus or dead line conditions shall be included.
• Alarm and Event Handling
Alarm conditions reflect an abnormal condition in the substation process, which are to be
reported in alarm lists for acknowledgement and action. Substation alarms are of two
types-digital alarms and limit violation alarms, respectively.

S-CPS-SCMS (Rev.0-2006) Page 13 of 37

 CONTROL-PROTECTION-SUPERVISION
Substation Control & Monitoring System (SCMS)

Events are the status changes related to the position of devices/components which are
reported in the Event list.
Event list contains both alarms and events.
Digital alarms are reported for any violation from the normal state. An alarm of this type
remains on the appropriate alarm summary display until the status point returns to its
normal state and the operator has acknowledged the alarm.
Included in limit violation alarms shall be voltage, current (both magnititude and
displacement for V&I), frequency, power factor and power measurements exceeding
limits, temperatures, pressures etc.
In addition to electrical plant, both main and ancillary, alarms, alarms from the control
system itself shall be handled. These alarms shall include UPS and printer failure,

out function shall be provided if the system remain untouched for defined time interval.

2.1.8 System Performance and Redundancy Requirements

All IEDs, components and subsystems of SCMS shall be self-monitoring. Failure of a module or
component shall be immediately detected and displayed enabling fast remedial actions to ensure
a high level of system availability. The design of the system is such that periodic testing and
maintenance is not normally required. The run-time diagnostics are normally sufficient to detect
and alarm any deficiencies as they occur during operation.
Depending on the type of fault detected the affected module shall either be reset or blocked.
Failure of a single module should not impact operation of other system components.
Self-monitoring and diagnostics shall comprise:
• Live monitoring for modules and apparatus by reply check procedures
• Monitoring of internal auxiliary voltages
• Memory checks
• Software supervision by watchdog circuit
• Continuous monitoring of all serial connections.
The depth and effectiveness on-line supervision should be such that all type of failure are
detected and alarmed. Types of failure to be detected include:

S-CPS-SCMS (Rev.0-2006) Page 14 of 37

 CONTROL-PROTECTION-SUPERVISION
Substation Control & Monitoring System (SCMS)

• The module failure, communication failure, data flow too high, loss of power, loss of
chronology, printer failure etc.
• The module failure should consist of hardware faults (CPUs, memory, power supply, I/O
board) and software faults (operating system, application software, supervision application
software, self-test software, etc.).
A loss of power may not cause the loss of configuration data. This data shall be stored in
EPROMS, EEPROMS, or RAM with back-up battery having a design life of 10 years or more.
After restoration of power the system shall restart automatically. During start-up all output
contacts shall be reset and blocked until after the completion of the restart with all settings being
set to the default status.
To enhance availability neither fans nor mechanical disk drives or any other constantly moving
mechanical components are acceptable for use in the bay units or the substation database
computers. All central components, such as substation computers, operator HMIs,
communication links to NCC/ /DMS, etc., shall be provided in redundant configuration with
self-monitoring and automatic switchover facilities. See also the respective system block
drawings. An availability of 99.98% shall be obtained and proved by calculation.
The redundancy required shall furthermore be fully extended into design of the communication
interfaces and media. This principle of redundancy should ensure at least the following features:
• Outage of one member of each pair of duplicated components shall not result in any
reduction of functionality
• Outage of one communication link from individual feeder bay or common unit to the
central components shall not affect any other communication link between the central
components and all other feeder or common units.
The above requirements may be obtained by means of:
• Duplicated bus-systems with dual-port technique

implemented in other systems. Software configuration tools shall be available to adopt the
system to the specific Switchgear layout, to do settings, to create displays, to define event and
alarm text etc. Configuration software shall require no knowledge in programming languages or
system source code.
All system software is implemented in a modular fashion to facilitate maintenance and
modification of any of its parts. The system should allow new programme modules to be added
to implement future requirements without unduly affecting existing functions, and without
requiring modification of any other module which is not affected by the new functional
requirement.
Configuration software is provided to the user to configure, set up and modify the data
acquisition, data processing and database system components to suit the requirements of specific
application functions.
After satisfactory completion of SCMS equipment site testing and commissioning two sets of
Back up copy of all software such as application software, database configuration files, station
lists, etc. shall be handed over to ADWEA.
The software application shall include facilities to perform programmable logic functions and
automatic control functions such as voltage control, transformer tap change control and capacitor

2.1.10 LAN Communication Requirements

ADWEA concept for procurement of SCMS is on the basis of using standardized interfaces for
communication between the hierarchical components. Therefore, it is mandatory to apply
standardized communication protocols, wherever equipment of different specifications have to
perform data exchange between one another.
For SCMS real-time communication requirement arises between:
• The plant level interfaces (bay units, common substation units) and the substation level
database computers using a standard LAN protocol; Alternatively supplier’s bespoke but
proven LAN protocol can be used until the advent of IEC 61850-5 series protocol. The
field LAN should accommodate transmission of SCADA control commands, contact
status, alarm and event messages and analogue quantities among the SCMS components
and devices. The LAN should also support file transfers and virtual connections for
accessing and uploading historical IED data to a mass storage device, while maintaining
performance within the specified limits of response time, security and reliability. The LAN
shall support peer-to-peer communication to provide a 2 way information-exchange
between different parts of the installation, and the sharing of common control and status
information between hardware devices. The Bidder/Contractor shall provide complete
information of the field LAN used, including details of overheads, message structures,
addressing, multicasting, collisions, etc. To achieve a high level of reliability, the field
LAN messages shall be repeated as long the state persists. Messages (GOOSE messages of
IEC61850) shall be handled on a multicast technique, sending messages repeatedly without
receiver giving any acknowledgement until the expiration of the hold time.
• The informative relaying interface shall be based on using either the IEC 60870-5-103
protocol, the proprietary LAN protocol or the IEC 61850-5 series LAN protocol.
• The LAN interconnecting the operator workstations, printers, and station Database
computers shall work on using a standard Ethernet TCP/IP (10 Mbit/sec or higher). The
LAN connection medium should be of either fiber optic or screened coaxial type.

2.1.11 Maintenance Requirements

To ease maintenance and to reduce repair and down time, the substation database computers as
well as the bay units shall be equipped with draw out type modules. Defective modules may be
replaced without dismantling of the apparatus or its terminal blocks or the related wiring. CTs
shall be automatically shortened and disconnected when a related module is drawn out. Spare
processor modules requiring customised configuration data for operation shall be pre-loadable.
Being pre-loaded, they shall be ready for operation immediately after replacement without the
need of loading any additional software or configuration data. Manufacturers standard designs
deviating from the above should be brought to the attention of ADWEA and in such case,
manufacturers should provide alternatives and justify that maintenance requirements of ADWEA
are met.

2.2 SCMS Equipment & Services

2.2.1 Bay Control Units (BCUs)

BCUs shall be designed to perform a large number of functions for control, metering,
monitoring, etc. They acquire process data resulting from auxiliary contact closures of primary
plant, protection, tap position indications, alarm output operations, metering impulses and
analogue measured values derived from current/voltage transformers. Therefore, the BCU
hardware shall be fitted with the process interface slot-in modules separately for power supplies,
digital inputs, digital outputs, analogue inputs, accumulator pulse inputs, etc. Not more than one
process should be served from a single module and no deviations are accepted. Important
requirements of this hardware are as follows:

2.2.1.1 Digital Inputs

Digital inputs may be either single or double point. Single point digital inputs shall be utilized
where the requirements to detect an intermediate state is not essential. Double point digital shall
be utilized where there is a requirement to discriminate between the two states in order to detect
an incomplete operation (eg. in the case of disconnectors, earth-switches and circuit breakers).
All digital inputs from the process shall be hardwired to BCUs for being scanned cyclically for
detecting status change at a typical scanning period of 0.5 msec. A status change shall be
detected and processed only when the new status persists sufficiently long to eliminate false
interpretation of status changes likely due to transient noise voltages in the input circuits and
contact bounce of auxiliary relays.

S-CPS-SCMS (Rev.0-2006) Page 20 of 37

 CONTROL-PROTECTION-SUPERVISION
Substation Control & Monitoring System (SCMS)

BCUs shall provide digital inputs for a variety of purposes including local/ remote indications,

50-3000 msec for Raise-Lower commands, respectively. As an additional function, latched
outputs shall also be supported.

2.2.1.3 Analogue Inputs

Analogue quantities shall be acquired from the secondary of current/voltage transformers
(CTs/VTs) directly. The digital conversion shall be performed by a 24-bit analogue/digital
converter to give the digitized information in a 16-bit word (15 bits of data with 1 bit of sign).
After digitizing the signals, the algorithm shall determine RMS or instantaneous values and then
calculate phasor values to display current, voltage, active power, reactive power, power factor,
frequency, etc. As a multi-function device, BCUs shall also provide an inherent check-
synchronising facility.
Provision of protection functions including Over/Under voltage, Over-current/Earth-fault,
thermal and frequency protection, etc in BCUs is considered only to be complimentary and
dedicated protection relays should be provided as specified in protection specifications.

2.2.1.4 Local Operator HMI

BCUs shall be supplied with a touch screen or operable pushbuttons for mimic and local operator
HMI, alarm indicating LEDs, and other control facilities. All processed analogue and switchgear

EPROM capacity, there shall be 40 percent extra spare capacity available as the extension
capacity.

2.2.2 Bay-Station Level Communication

BCUs shall be connected to the substation control units via fiber optic links through LANs. To
avoid total loss of communication caused by the failure of a single communication module, to
guarantee the highest availability and to ensure a high data transmission speed, BCUs shall be
connected to SCMS as described in clauses 2.1.8 and 2.1.10.

devices, updating the database with changes occurring in the substation processes. The standby
unit shall run without a communication driver in the normal circumstances, but remain in
synchronism with the main unit to mirror its database. In the event of main computer tripping
off-line as a result of a failure/manual shutdown, the standby unit should start with the
communication driver, and go through the operational sequences with fail-over logic.
DBCs shall be a multi micro-processor computer system. The different micro-processors shall
perform different tasks such as database and system management, communication etc. Real time
operating systems shall ensure adequate performance. Software as well as configuration data
shall be stored in non-volatile EPROM, EEPROM or RAM. The DBCs shall be easily
configurable and extendible by plugging additional modules into free slots, and if required,
adding extension racks to increase the number of slots. Only the configuration data is to be
updated. The extensions shall not require any firmware modifications. The different slots of the
substation control unit shall be interconnected via an internal bus running in the back plane.
DBCs shall permanently monitor themselves and all subsystems and shall receive data from the
bay units and I/O modules. The data shall comprise the time tagged switchgear status

DBCs shall be supplied with a database holding two types of circular buffer memory. The first
memory shall provide a queue for the real time active data to be transferred upstream to NCC/
/DMS and the second shall retain a large archive at station level. This database capability shall
not be less than 50000 binary signals.

2.2.4 Supervision and Self-diagnostics

CPUs, input/output modules and power supply unit of both BCUs and DBCs shall be extensively
checked by a self-checking software sub-routine, which runs typically every 30 sec without
detriment to the BCU/DBC performance. The analogue input circuits of BCUs shall be provided
with a plausibility check facilitating the detection of any asymmetrical condition in the VT/CT
secondary circuits.
Hardware failures and loss of communication to the control system shall be immediately
signaled by an alarm contact. Internal and external auxiliary power supplies shall be supervised.
