Drawing the SLD of the Substation

In this case, the Overhead Line bay is selected as a reference for drawing

Double click the Single Line icon

Canvas There are a several function under palette section i)Electrical Connection ii)Substation Structure iii)Power Equipment

For drawing the SLD of the substation in the Single Line window (Substation Structure), the user needs to follow the hierarchy:
1. 2. 3. 4. Substation Voltage Level Busbar Bay

1. Right click on canvas 2. Click View

Tick Grid and Ruler

Click on Ruler to create the line for model coordination

1. Click and drop Substation under Substation Structure into canvas, then name the substation according to the S/S (KEST)

2. Click and drop the Bus Bar and name it MBB and RBB for main and reserve busbar respectively

1. Click on Voltage Level 2. Drop it into canvas 3. Specify the voltage level of the substation (132kV)

1. Click and drop the Bay and name it. (E.g. E01)

Click and Drop the Disconnecting Switch (label its as Q1 and Q2) Click and Drop the Circuit Breaker (label it as Q0) Click and Drop the Current Transformers (TI-1,TI-5) Insert the Disconnecting Switch (label as Q8) and Earthing Disconnector (Q9) Click and Drop the Voltage Transformer (TU) Click and Drop the Surge Arrestor (FV) and Feeder (OHL1)

In order to connect the components of the bay, the user need to click the Electrical Connection at the palette.

User need to click on the selected model and drag the connection to the other model for connection making

Complete drawing of Bay E01

Double click on the E01 bay at the Single Line Diagram for Function Specification for Bay view. By default, the Logical Nodes subjected to the primary equipments already mapped.

After complete the functional mapping of the O/H Line Bay, click Build All in order to generate SSD File

To monitor the SSD File, click Open Perspective and select the Resources File in order to activate this file window.

Scroll down the out folder. Right click the Workspace.ssd file and select either SCL Model Editor or SCL XML Editor

The engineering process can be defined by two approaches:

Top Down Bottom Up

Top down is based on the formal specification process. Bottom up approach is based on the implemented IED specification

User can specify the functions of the substation with mapping the IEC 61850 Logical Nodes (LNs) either by:
manual mapping or importing the IEC 61850 Signal List

The mapped/assigned functions will be mapped to ICD files

Click Function from palette and drop it at canvas. Name it 87L (represent the Current Differential Protection function)

Click LN that can be assigned appropriately for the specified signal (Example: PDIF for Current Differential protection) Click and Drop it inside the Function box

By referring to the TNB Signal List, the user can map the following signal by grouping it with different Function boxes.

1. By default, there are pre-mapped LNs for each primary equipments. 2. User need to delete all the LNs from the Bay Specification Editor

Click Select All

Click Delete all signals from selected elements

HELINKS STS can help user to do automatic mapping of LNS for each bay from Excel file User need to have the interface file named tnb.pio file for this purpose

tnb.pio file is the interface file that will translate the TNBs IEC 61850 Signal List for LN mapping
It will read the signal list per column and convert it to the LN that will be mapped into the specific bay

1. Click the Navigator tab

2. Right click the stg folder

1. Select Import

Click General

1. Click File System

2. Click Next

Click Browse to search the PIO file in the directory

1. Click the tnb.pio file 2. Select the stg folder for the location of the PIO file in the HELINKS workspace

The PIO file already imported in the stg folder

Click Import SCL File

Select the XLS (Files of type)

1. Select the Excel file of the signal list 2. Click Open

Click on Import SCL File Menu

Browse the location of the ICD File which will be imported For the E01 Bay, the ICD files are:
PCS931 (Protection 1) L90 (Protection 2) PCS9705 (Bay Controller Unit)

The System Diagram Editor is a graphical editor to represent communication sub networks according to the IEC 61850 object model The diagram shows the Ethernet communication network with switches and connected network devices

Double click the System Diagram icon

At this window, user can build the communication network of the substation

Imported ICD File is available at the ICDs section Components of Substation Network

For standard based connection

1. Select Subnet1 and drop it on the canvas. Label it as KESTNet. 2. Select the Switch (Ethernet Switch) 3. Click the imported ICD and drop it on the canvas. Label it based on TNB device code (e.g. E01F11LP1)

Click the IEC 61850 Connection and connect the Switch to the IED. The connection need to be configured with the IP Address (10.10.1.111)

Based on the imported signal list, HELINKS STS create automatically the virtual IED for the specific assigned functions.

The virtual IED can be link with the IED in the System Diagram by:
1. Right Click on the Virtual IED 2.Select Implement

Select the IED and click OK The IEDs listed here are from the System Diagram network architecture

Double click on the IED for the Logical Nodes mapping

User can click the box for mapping the LN of ICD file with the LN of the bay

User can link the specified LN in the ICD file by select the suitable LN from bay.
After click the LN (e.g. Link to: KEST/132kV/E01/xxx) of the Bay then click OK for mapping purpose

Click OK User can proceed the mapping of the other LNs in ICD file with the other LNs in bay

Click here for Data Set configuration

HELINKS STS defined the GOOSE Messages as an Application The configuration can be made either: With implementing IED (Mapped LNs) Or Without IED (Unmapped LNs)

Open up the Single Line Editor Click the Application from the Palette and drop it to canvas

Define a Name and AppID for the application.

The ID is a four digit Hex Number, which will be used to set the Address Parameter APPID of the GSE object.

E.g. Name: E01F11LP1_START App ID: 0023

Double click the application box User can configure the GOOSE message by importing the Functions from the specifics bays in the Single Line Diagram

Right click on the canvas Click Select Function Shortcut

Select the Publisher functions from the specific bay and Subscriber either from a common bay (intrabay) or different bay (interbay) Click OK

Publisher

Subscriber

Draw a connection from the Publisher Logical Node to the Subscriber Logical Node by using GOOSE Signal

User can select a data attribute per connection

Click Next

User can choose the message priority

Click Finish

Give a meaningful process name to the GOOSE signal (e.g. GOOSE1 and GOOSE2)

Click Set SCL Communication Setting from Specification to configure the GOOSE message Control Block The GOOSE configuration can be viewed in the Communication Editor at the Dashboard
