What is digital switchgear?

Definition
Switchgear where device status information, current and voltage measurements and commands are reliably
transferred on a common communication bus. Alternatively, or as part of this,
the switchgear and its equipment condition monitoring and diagnostic information is also digitally available for
advanced analysis

Governing standards

Do switchgear standards permit the use of sensors?

– The latest version of the metal-clad switchgear standard, IEEE C37.20.2-2015, addresses the use of sensors in Annex D
– Additionally, the use of sensors is also referenced in IEEE C37.20.3-2013 for metal-enclosed switchgear and IEEE C37.20.9-2019 for gas insulated switchgear
– UL347 6th Ed. for MV Motor Control Centers addresses the use of sensors in Annex E

August 6, 2020 Slide 7



What standards are applicable to sensors?
Background

Instrument transformers are primarily covered by IEEE C57.13-2016; this standard does not cover sensors – IEC 60044-8 (2002)
Current sensors
– IEC 61869-10 (2017) - active
IEEE standards/guides for current and voltage sensors – IEC 60044-7 (1999)
Voltage sensors
– IEC 61869-11 (2017) - active
– No specific standard exists today
– IEEE PSIM formed new Sensor Subcommittee in January 2020 to organize sensor activities
– IEEE PSIM Working Group formed to work on an IEEE Guide that will be focused on testing
of end-to-end sensor systems and Task Force focused on Sensors Accuracy Testing Paper
– IEEE C37.235-2007 - Guide for the Application of Rogowski Coils used for Protective Relaying Purposes
– IEEE C37.92-2005 - Standard for Analog Inputs to Protective Relays From Electronic Voltage
and Current Transducers

However, this should not limit your applications


– IEC standards 60044 and 61869 cover sensors
• IEC 61869-10 (2017): Additional requirements for low-power passive current transformers
• IEC 61869-11 (2017): Additional requirements for low power passive voltage transformers

Sensors – ideal for critical applications
Concerns better addressed by sensors

– 20+ year old technology in switchgear


– Use solid state components and little or no ferromagnetic material in
circuit
– Lack of magnetic core - very low energy output – cannot typically transfer
power to secondary
– Current Sensors @ 60Hz have a 0-180mv output
– Voltage Sensors @ 60Hz have a 0-10V output
– Increased safety
– Reduced footprint
– More linear response
– Simplified installations – less wiring, smaller footprint, lighter weight
– Reduced energy use, esp. in tight compartments

Direct measurement of current and voltage spikes using high-frequency CTs Instruments use indirect analytical measurements to obtain a relative signature of PD pulses that can indicate trends
and HV capacitive couplers
TEV (transient earth voltage) measurement
Can analyze pulse shapes and plot discharge events relative

– Cannot always monitor faults between phases
– Expensive and require trained technicians to analyze the data
High frequency (HF) and VHF measurements
– Coupling detectors require a ground reference and this exposes
a potential failure mode and safety issue – Operate 3-300 MHz and use large antennas (not suited for switchgear) and HFCTs or coupled sensors (coupling impairs safety)
Acoustic measurements
– Use a microphone or acoustic sensor to monitor between 10 Hz and 300 KHz
– Wireless method
– Limited detection range due to sound damping within dielectric materials
UHF measurements
– Monitor transient EM waves in 300MHz to 3 GHz range.
PD dielectric breakdown causes a small, but sudden, – Selective, banded UHF monitoring allows noise rejection

Bus protection
Novel method using GOOSE messaging

Bus protection

– Utilization of directional overcurrent elements of feeder protection relays


– Dedicated bus protection relay and associated current transformers are not required (reduces footprint)
– Reliable: operates only upon a fault on the protected bus
• All contributing breakers are tripped and block-closed
• Acceptable operating speed ~3.16 cycles (50.5 ms)
– Secure: able to distinguish between internal and external (through) faults
• Allows the individual breaker to trip first to maximize system reliability
