AREVA T&D
Improving competitiveness and performance is the key to
success in the modern energy world market.
New solutions must be developed to optimize assets and
take advantage of the rapidly changing environment.
Substation automation represents one of the major solutions
for accomplishing such objectives.
T&D offers flexible tools for the progressive retrofit of existing
installations, as well as for new substations.
Open platforms, relying on state-of-the-art technology, enable
innovative automation scheme design and future-proof
connectivity.
MiCOM C264 is the latest generation of modular substation
computers. In addition to the traditional input/output (I/O)
management, MiCOM C264 acts as a powerful
communication gateway,
an advanced measurement center and a fast automation
processor.
As a remote terminal unit, bay controller or
protocol converter, MiCOM C264 is the compact solution to
countless applications installed in demanding electromagnetic
conditions.
SEAMLESS MODERNIZATION OF EXISTING
INSTALLATIONS
MiCOM C264 provides seamless integration to existing substation assets, thanks to its polyvalent
interfaces and natural expandability. Its powerful processing, communication and configuration
facilities make it the ideal tool for improving substation supervision, automation and maintenance.
OPEN PLATFORM FOR INNOVATIVE REAL-TIME
AUTOMATION SCHEMES
MiCOM C264 enables innovative automation schemes thanks to an extremely fast (event driven)
engine and robust topological processing. Combining any data available on the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
network eliminates conventional wiring and facilitates cost versus dependability decisions within a
substation or between substations.
OPTIMIZED ENGINEERING VERSUS
CONVENTIONAL DESIGNS
The multifunctional capabilities of MiCOM C264 optimize system engineering as fewer devices result
in less wiring, training and maintenance. Its modern XML configuration interfaces allow information to
be shared between the various configuration tools used in the project, thus reducing the overall
engineering time.
 INTEGRATION OF TODAY’S
AND TOMORROW’S
COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS
MiCOM C264 is fully compatible with modern
communication standards such as UCA2/IEC 61850,
IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, IEC 60870-5-101/103, and
MODBUS, while its modular design will make it easy to
upgrade in line with future advances in communication
technology.
> Binary count inputs
The binary count inputs (BCT) are acquired via digital
input boards. Each BCT may be configured as single or
double counter. The content of these counters is stored
locally and transmitted cyclically.Counters’ values are
stored in non-volatile memory. After a restart of the
unit, counting is continued with the stored value as the
initial value. Initial values can be set for each counter
separately.

FUNCTIONS > Analogue inputs processing

MiCOM C264 substation computers use a range of MiCOM C264 offers five types of measurement,
modular products at both hardware and functional processing analogue inputs (AI) from:
levels. They have the following main functions:
• Analogue inputs (AI)
• Digital measurement (DM)

> Measured-value acquisition
Four currents (CT) and four voltages (VT) calculated
from the direct primary measures are monitored.
The scanning period for the measurement calculation
is 64 samples per period.
> Derived values
A multitude of values are derived from the direct
primary measures (currents and voltages), such as:
• RMS currents and voltages
• Network frequency
• Active, reactive and apparent powers (P, Q, S –
total and per phases)
• Power factor
• Sequence components
(direct, inverse, zero-sequence for Ι and U)
• Phase angles
• Synchro-check information: ΔF, ΔV, …
> Digital outputs
Digital outputs are used to apply a switching voltage
to an external device in order to execute single or dual,
transient or permanent commands. MiCOM C264
contains multiple security and self-checks, such as
relay coil energizing, relay command, relay coil biasing,
relay driving registers.
Furthermore, during configuration, a control may be
changed to one of the following modes:
• Select Before Operate once (SBO once)
• Select Before Operate many (SBO many)
• Direct execution
The SBO once mode is used for controls via set points
or ancillary devices, as well as synchronized or
non-synchronized circuit breakers, transformers,
disconnectors and earthing switches.
The SBO many (Selection, Execution, and
Deselection) control sequence is used for the control
of transformers.
> Bay/substation interlocking
The MiCOM C264 provides 2 methods of interlocking:
• Equation method, using logical equations
• Topological Interlocking method, using predefined
rules andsubstation topology specially tailored for
digital control systems. (For more details, refer to
the PACiS documentation)
> Auto-recloser
The MiCOM C264 can manage one auto-recloser per
bay (up to 12 bays per unit). The integrated auto-
reclosers operate in 1 Phase and/or 3 Phase mode.
Up to four auto-reclosing cycles are available and the
delay for each is independently configurable. Auto
reclosers can be initiated either internally in the bay
unit or via external protection devices using digital
inputs.
> Synchro-check
The synchro-check function can be used in conjunction
with automatic or manual reclosure. The function
(limited to one bay) determines the difference between
the amplitude, phase angles and frequencies of two
voltage vectors. Locking and coupling modes are available
and a deadline and dead bus logic are also included.
> Trip circuit supervision
The purpose of this function is to supervise the
continuity of the trip circuit of a circuit breaker.
Two options are available: two wires or four wires.
The two-wire option permits verification of the trip
circuit continuity only when the circuit breaker is
closed.
The four-wire option permits verification of the
continuity in either position.
If the circuit breaker is single phased, it will be
necessary to supervise the continuity of the trip circuit
separately for each phase.
> Voltage regulation
The Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) function is used
to automatically maintain the correct voltage at the lower
voltage of transformers. Controlling the tap changer of
a transformer changes the secondary voltage.
AVR is able to manage one transformer or several
transformers in parallel. Transformers are in parallel
if their secondary poles are interconnected.
AVR also provides:
• Active and reactive compounding in order to
maintain the voltage at a remote location
• Homing in order to adjust a transformer to the
voltage of the busbar to which it will be connected
• Minimizing circulating current

The operator panel can be mounted separately from

> Programmable logic
The MiCOM C264 allows an operator to configure
specific control sequences or automations
(e.g. automatic switching, sequences, busbar
transformer, load shedding). The automation
applications are based on local or remote information
accessed via an Ethernet network. Results of the
automation function are also configured to have a local
or remote action. There are two different ways of
performing automation functions:
• Programmable Scheme Logic (PSL)
• Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
The PSL is dedicated to fast automation applications.
This automation is event-driven (there is no cycle time)
and is achieved through the use of programmable logic
gates and delay timers.
The PLC (optional) tool is fully compliant with
IEC 61131-3 programming language. It is dedicated for
complex or sequential automation applications.
the rack (up to five meters), if required, to provide a
high level of flexibility in mounting positions.
Access barriers protect the enter mode to guard
against inadvertent or unauthorized changes
to parameters or triggering of control functions.
> Self monitoring
Comprehensive self-monitoring procedures within the
C264 ensure that internal hardware or software errors
are detected and do not cause malfunctions. As the
auxiliary voltage is turned on, a functional test is
carried out.
Cyclic self-monitoring tests are run during operation
and if test results deviate from the default value then
the corresponding signal is entered into the non-
volatile monitoring signal memory. The result of the
fault
diagnosis determines whether the C264 device is
blocked or the system just issues a warning.

The trigger can be initiated by:
• Change of state of binary digital inputs/outputs
• Measurement threshold violations
• Request from an operator
The MiCOM C264 allows an operator to adjust the
record length (pre and post-time) to raise the number
of records. Waveform records are stored using
COMTRADE 2001 binary format.
> Power quality functions
The MiCOM C264 provides the following power
quality functions:
• Total Harmonic Distortion (%THD up and including
15th harmonic)
• Total Demand Distortion (TDD) on voltage and
currents
> Time Synchronization
The devices incorporate an internal clock with
a resolution of 1 millisecond (ms). All events are
time-tagged based on this clock, entered in the
recording memory appropriate to their significance
and signaled via the communication interface.
Alternatively, two external synchronization signals can
be used according to the selected communication
protocol. Using one of the protocols -
UCA2, IEC 61850, DNP3.0, IEC 60870-5-104,
IEC 60870-5-101 - the device will be synchronized by
a time telegram from a higher-level substation control
system or, in any other case, it will be synchronized
using the IRIG-B signal input. The internal clock will
then be adjusted accordingly and operate with an
accuracy of ±10 ms if synchronized via legacy protocol
and ±1 ms if synchronized via IRIG-B signal or
Ethernet-based link.
> Configuration & settings
Based on pre-defined libraries, individual
configurations can be created rapidly. Importing XML
data allows simple integration of C264 into
heterogeneous systems. It is possible to modify the
settings on line from the local HMI (display and
keypad). The MiCOM C264 provides dual configuration
databases: one active and one reserved for fast and
secure switching in case of system configuration
changes.
