process.
The main process information of the station shall be stored in distributed databases. The
typical SAS architecture shall be structured in two levels, i.e. in a Station level and in a Bay
level. The data base sizing shall be sufficient to accommodate future expansions.
At bay level, the IEDs shall provide all bay level functions regarding control, monitoring and
protection, inputs for status indication, and outputs for commands. The IEDs should be
directly connected to the switchgear without any need for additional interposition or
transducers. However, all the commands extending for control of switchgear shall be routed
through suitable trip/ aux. relays.
The Switch gear Operating Mechanism pressures i.e., Circuit Breaker SF6 Gas Pressure,
Operating Mechanism Pressure (Pneumatic, Hydraulic and Nitrogen Pressures), Pressure of
SF6 Gas in case of SF6 CTs shall be interfaced with BCU through Transducers for
monitoring these parameters in Local and RCC.
All the data (analog & digital) pertaining to ACDC panel, Distribution Transformers etc,
shall be taken into SAS through Auxiliary BCUs and they all shall be mapped to SLDs

station BCU. Digital data to BCU shall be taken from potential free contacts.
Transformer Parameters i.e., Oil / Winding temperatures, On Line Monitor Hydran or any
Other equipment like Transformer management Relay and OLTC Tap Position & Operation
(not AVR) shall be interfaced with BCU through Transducers for monitoring & Control these
parameters in Local and RCC.
Each bay control IED shall be independent from each other and its functioning shall not be
affected by any fault occurring in any of the other bay control units of the station. It shall
have sufficient spare DI/DO/AI points.
The data exchange between the electronic devices on bay and station level shall take place
via the communication infrastructure. This shall be realized using fiber optic cables, thereby
guaranteeing disturbance free communication. The fiber optic cables shall be run in G.I
conduit pipes. Data exchange is to be realized using IEC 61850 protocol with a redundant
managed switched Ethernet communication infrastructure.
The communication shall be made in fault tolerant ring in redundant mode, excluding the
links between individual bay IEDs to switch wherein the redundant connections are not
envisaged, such that failure of one set of fiber shall not affect the normal operation of the
SAS. However failure of fiber, it shall be alarmed in SAS. SNMP software for Ethernet
switches and FO cables healthiness is to be provided. Fibre Optic LAN should be of
dual redundant type only (Each ring with separate FO cable and each fiber optic cable
shall have four (4) spare fibers).
At station level, the entire station shall be controlled and supervised from the station HMI. It
shall also be possible to control and monitor the bay from the bay level equipment at all
times.
Clear control priorities shall prevent operation of a single switch at the same time from more
than one of the various control levels, i.e. RCC, station HMI, bay level or apparatus level.
The priority shall always be on the lowest enabled control level.
 The station level contains the station-oriented functions, which cannot be realised at bay
level, e.g. alarm list or event list related to the entire substation, gateway for the
communication with remote control centers.
The GPS time synchronizing signal for the synchronization of the entire system shall be
provided with display unit and necessary auxiliaries.

alarm/message of the system in which a fault has occurred and alarm annunciation lists in
which the fault is described more fully.
Each operational sequence shall be divided into single operation steps which are initiated by
means of the function keys/WINDOW command by mouse. Operator prompting shall be
designed in such a manner that only the permissible keys are available in the command field
related to the specific operation step. Only those switching elements shall be accessed for
which control actions are possible. If the operation step is rejected by the system, the
operator prompting shall be supported by additional comments in the message field. The
operation status shall be reset to the corresponding preceding step in the operation sequence
by pressing one of the function keys. All operations shall be verified. Incorrect operations
shall be indicated by comments in the message field and must not be executed.
