Generation plants connection point to the embedded network

Principle

Equipment capable to record and transmit waveforms shall be specified and triggering events

shall be configured. The stored waveforms shall begin before the triggering event and continue

afterwards and shall be made up of:

Values sampled from the different signals

The event time and date

Characteristics of the recorded channels

The waveforms shall be organized within the devices into files. These files are periodically

checked for and downloaded as they appear on the device and made available for viewing into

[Tag component]

Philosophy

Tag components shall follow the logical node naming convention used by the IEC 61850

standard.

IEC 61850 tags are flexible, which allows them to specify how functions are implemented in

devices. The IEC 61850 tag was developed for medium-voltage and high-voltage applications,

such as monitoring, control, and substation automation.

Some of our devices include data and functionality that are not yet covered by IEC 61850. For

these devices, the general IEC 61850 formatting was followed when creating tags.

Tags shall be no longer than 29 characters. Use a backslash as a separator between tag parts.

Tags are constructed in this manner:

Location\Equipment Name\Logical_Node\Data Object\Data Attribute(s)

The following table lists the main categories for the common logical nodes. After the table, the

most commonly used category (Mxxx: metering and measurement) is described.

Table 5 IEC 61850 – Main logical nodes

Category Name Description

Axxx automatic control; e.g., ATCC (tap changer), AVCO (voltage control)

Cxxx supervisory control; e.g., CILO (interlocking), CSWI (switch control)

Gxxx generic functions; e.g., GGIO (generic I/O)

Ixxx interfacing/archiving; e.g., IARC (archive), IHMI (HMI)

(metering), MSTA (metering statistics), MSQI (sequence and

imbalance), MHAI (harmonics and interharmonics)

Pxxx protection; e.g., PDIF (differential), PIOC (instantaneous overcurrent

or rate of rise.), PDIS (distance), PTOV (time-overvoltage)

Rxxx protection related; e.g., RREC (auto reclosing), RDRE (disturbance)

Sxxx sensors, monitoring; e.g., SARC (arcs), SPDC (partial discharge)

Txxx instrument transformer; e.g., TCTR (current), TVTR (voltage)

Xxxx switchgear; e.g., XCBR (circuit breaker), XCSW (switch)

Zxxx other equipment; e.g., ZCAP (cap control), ZMOT (motor)



OCTOBER-19 EMCS

6.4 Status, alarms and analogues

6.4.1 Definitions

The EMCS tags will be classified into three categories:

1. Status – are tags which do not report a warning or a fault of an equipment or a system.

Their report a specific state of the items considered as a normal condition (e.g. circuit

breaker open position, generator stopped, etc.). No action is normally required from the

operator.

2. Alarms – are tags which report an unusual/abnormal state or situation of an equipment or

system (e.g. temperature alarm, circuit breaker tri, loss of communication), they can be

PC-based or Onboard. An action from the operator (intervention) is likely to be required.

3. Analogues – are measurement of physical quantities (e.g. voltage, current, etc.) or the

value of internal EMCS calculation (e.g. ratio VA per m²), they can be PC-based or

Onboard.

4. Set points – are analogue values entered by the operator to modify the behaviour of a

plant/process.

5. Command – are remote control orders issued by the operator (see §5.2).

6.4.2 Configuration

Tags

All tags shall be individually configured including Tag Name, Display Description, Group, Data

Type, Eng. Units, Polling Priority, real time filters (Category Type, Utility Type, Statistical Type,

Quantity), alarm filters (Categorisation, Alarm Type, alarm Group, Subcategorisation, Alarm

Priority), etc. to suit.

Devices

Customised devices to suit the tags list shall be created. They may be created using the

PowerSCADA available device types but shall be edited to suit i.e. all unused tags deleted to

minimise network traffic.

6.4.3 Alarms priorities

The alarm tags shall be prioritised into two categories: high and low priorities.

High priorities

High priorities alarms include:

Operational impact

Services interruption

Tenant disconnection

OH&S risks



OCTOBER-19 EMCS

Low priorities

Low priorities alarms include:

Abnormal services operation with no disruption of services

Abnormal services conditions with no disruption of services

Other alarms not categorised as High priority

Project specific

Alarm priorities shall be confirmed on a project basis by conducting Safety in Design and

HAZOP workshops (non-standard projects).

6.5 Internal

Internal are pre-entered values (e.g. equipment ratings) for the EMCS system to calculate

derived variables to display status and trigger alarms. They are project specific.

6.6 Commands and set points

Commands and set points are remote instructions sent by the EMCS system to devices or

plants to change their state or mode.

Commands are binary states while set points are analogue values. They may be written to the

corresponding PLC, RTU or field equipment.

All commands available through the EMCS system shall be documented in the project tag list.

Minimum required remote commands are outlined in §6.8.

Commands and set points shall be initiated by double-clicking on a device on the single line

diagram page, which shall bring up an equipment popup displaying the available remote

commands. Remote command buttons shall be greyed-out if the logged-in user does not have

an appropriate user level.

Accessibility

Remote [Open] / [Close] commands

– Outdoor assets (e.g. kiosk substation, kiosk RMU) – Remote PoA (iPad)

– Indoor assets – Local HMI (ref. APAM HV Standard, MAS-ELC-002)

Mode commands – Workstations

Set points – Workstations

6.7 Time

Synchronisation

The time stamp of all Events, Alarms and Analogue values shall be performed by the EMCS

servers. They shall synchronise their internal time clock using Melbourne Airport network time

server.

While the field devices of standard projects are not required to perform the above functions,

large / process projects may be designed to include local GPS clock synchronisation and time

stamp performed by the field equipment to report to local SCADA/HMI.



OCTOBER-19 EMCS

Zone settings

To interact with devices located in different time zones, the EMCS system shall converts any

alarm/waveform timestamp as well as the actual time sent to the local time zone. The Windows

time zones database shall be used to take daylight saving time into account.

Display format

The time shall be displayed as per the following format:

dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss [AM/PM]

dd – two-digit day of the month

mm – two-digit month

yyyy – four-digit year

hh – two-digit hour

mm – two-digit minute

ss – two-digit second



OCTOBER-19 EMCS

6.8 Standard Tag list

The tag lists below are drafted for APAM’s preferred equipment (Schneider SM6, Schneider

RM6, Schneider KPX, Chase Power NER, etc.).

The tag lists are separated into two tables: Functionalities and typical equipment. Note that the

typical functionalities tag lists (such as revenue metering, maintenance triggers, asset demand

factors, etc.) are to be applied and included for each applicable individual item of equipment in

project tag lists.

If alternative equipment is used or if the project process if specific (i.e. not a typical substation),

then the Designer should propose an alternative tag list to suit the EMCS system intent

explained in this standard.

8. Architecture

8.1 Philosophy

Melbourne Airport operates and enterprise wide multi-protocol label switching network

environment made up of a series of nodes, which are active switching and routing systems.

The locations of the nodes are largely informed by geographic location, and diversity of services

to the location, and end user services required.

The presence of communication rooms within the terminals areas will facilitate connection of the

EMCS equipment to the ICT network through wired Ethernet connections.

Within remote locations (e.g. business park, airfield), a dedicated optical fibre will be installed to

connect all equipment and connect to the more practical or closest communication room.

If communication underground conduits and pits are not available nor designed, consideration

shall be given to use a radio network to link the equipment to ICT.

Communication interface

Electrical equipment shall be specified with a communication interface to minimise control

cabling including (but not limited to):

Batteries controllers


Insulation monitoring devices

Logic controllers, distributed IO, HMI

Meters


Protection relays

Temperature controllers, etc.

Communication network

Equipment communicating over the same RS-485 serial link shall use the same protocol.

The maximum quantity of communicating equipment shall be in accordance with the projected

traffic, the quantity of Modbus master and shall not exceed:

Protection relays, distributed IO, temperature controllers:

– One Modbus master (PowerSCADA, local HMI) : eight (8) units

– Two Modbus master: five (5) units

Meters (revenue) – eight (8) units

Communication protocol

Equipment shall communicate using an open protocols i.e. available and implemented between

different manufacturers across their equipment range.



OCTOBER-19 EMCS

Data accessibility

To minimise the programing works to add/delete status, alarms or analogues, the EMCS

servers shall be able to communicate directly with any field devices therefore they shall be wired

to the communication network without data concentrator equipment (e.g. PLC).

Design life

The system shall be designed for an asset life of 15 years.

Electrical isolation Equipment fault

The EMCS architecture shall be designed to:

Facilitate the electrical isolation of single equipment

Minimise the loss of functionalities upon a single fault

ICT connection – The quantity of connection to ICT shall be minimum and in accordance

to the projected network traffic. The preferred connection methods to ICT are:

Ethernet cable

Optical fibre

Radio communication (subject to APAM approval)

IO acquisition

Communication equipment with built-in inputs/outputs shall be used as preferred acquisition

method to minimise the use of additional distributed IO or logic controller.

If more inputs/outputs are required then additional distributed IO shall be used.

Communication equipment shall only record status, alarms and analogues of the same

equipment i.e. it is not permitted to use the equipment [A] device to monitor equipment [B].

Project specific

The Designer for complex electrical process or plants (e.g. batteries storage, solar, large

substations, generation plants) may propose a customised EMCS architecture to suit the project

in accordance with this standard and shall submit to APAM for approval.

Spare

Spare space to allow for future expansions and spare and inputs/outputs to allow for future

connections shall be considered on a project basis and in accordance with projected Melbourne

Airport future developments

RTU

Additional RTU panels shall be used to record status, alarms and analogues of equipment

without communication interface or communication equipment watchdogs.

Modules. These application components communicate to the database installed on the SQL

server (MELSQLPRDEMS1).

The license for the remote client is housed on the Primary and Standby application servers

(MELAPPPRDEMS1 and MELAPPPRDEMS2). This is a redundant client, meaning that a

license is available over the network for the client in the event of the loss of either the primary or

standby SCADA applications.

MELAPPPRDEMS2 is configured as the standby application server for the EMCS at Melbourne

Airport. This server contains the standby application for the PowerSCADA Expert system. The

Power SCADA Expert software application operates as the standby, picking up the

communications to the field devices in the event of a loss of the application on the primary

application server (MELAPPPRDEMS1). The redundant client license is also located on the

standby SCADA application server.

MELSQLPRDEMS1 is configured as the Database server for the Advanced Reporting and

Event Notification application running on the primary EMS application server

(MELAPPPRDEMS1). The SQL server software installed on the server is provided and licensed

by APAM ICT and will hold the historical database for the reporting and the paging systems.

Figure 73 Typical RTU panels arrangement (panel & rack)

8.6 System performance tuning

If the performance is not satisfactory, the following performance tuning to improve the EMCS

system shall be performed:

Dataflow prioritisation (bandwidth allocation for type of data, tag scan rates)

Driver optimisation (packet blocking optimization, device communication failure

optimisation

Device response time (to adjust background rates)



OCTOBER-19 EMCS

8.7 Typical reticulation

8.7.1 Indoor substations

Indoor substations are typically installed within proximity of the terminals or major buildings

where communication rooms are normally available at ground floor levels and include HV

switchgear, power transformers, LV MSB, DC charger, load shedding PLC and local AC DB.

To comply with the current communication philosophy of HV switchgears (as per MAS-ELC-

002) and considering the low number of points monitored in indoor substations, the EMCS

architecture shall be arranged as described.

Description

The HV switchgear shall include protection relays, temperature controllers (dry type

transformer) and distributed IO. They shall communicate over RS-485 serial. One gateway

converter shall be installed in the HV switchgear including in the case of two small switchgears

(E) and (NE).

The LV MSB shall include protection relays, distributed IO and meters. Two serial networks

shall be arrange for protection relays and distributed IO and meters. Two gateway

converters shall be installed in the LV MSB including in the case of two small switchgears (E)

and (NE).

The revenue meters shall be connected together over RS-485 serial with a dedicated gateway

converter installed within the RTU panel. The Designer shall liaise with APAM if the cabling

exceeds the total allowable length to agree for an alternative arrangement or point of

connection.

Devices connected onto the same serial shall be selected to be compatible.

An RTU panel shall be installed in the LV room and shall include an Ethernet switch and

distributed IO. All Ethernet devices including gateway converters shall be connected to the

Ethernet switch which will interface with ICT with a single connection point.



OCTOBER-19 EMCS

Figure 74 Indoor substation EMCS architecture

8.7.2 Kiosk substations

Kiosk substations are typically standalone units installed away from terminals or Melbourne

Airport buildings and communication rooms are unlikely to be in the vicinity of the equipment.

The supply of the kiosk substations follows a radial feeder or ring topology with HV cables

installed in underground conduits.

To minimise the point of connections to ICT and connect the kiosk substations together, it is

intended to develop an external optical fibre network following the supply architecture with

independent Comms conduits and pits.



OCTOBER-19 EMCS

Figure 75 Remote kiosk substations EMCS architecture

Description

Kiosk substations are divided into 4 compartments:

HV compartment containing the HV switchgear and protection relays

TX compartment containing the power transformer and protection devices

LV compartment containing the LV MSB

SCADA compartment containing the EMCS equipment

The HV protection relays and LV protection relays shall communicate over RS-485 serial. One

gateway converter shall be installed in the SCADA compartment and connected to the Ethernet

switch.



OCTOBER-19 EMCS

Due to LV cabling limitations, the revenue meters will likely be in the vicinity of the kiosk

substation. Their connection shall be done over RS-485 serial with a dedicated gateway

converter installed at the kiosk substation. The Designer shall liaise with APAM if the cabling

exceeds the total allowable length to agree for an alternative arrangement or point of

connection.

Distributed IO shall be installed in the SCADA compartment and connected to the switch with an

Ethernet link.

The Ethernet switch shall be connected to the external optical fibre using a separate FOBOT.

Figure 76 Kiosk substation EMCS architecture

8.7.3 Kiosk RMU

Similar to the kiosk substations, the kiosk RMU are standalone units and communication rooms

are unlikely to be in the vicinity of the equipment. Their connection to the embedded network

also follows a radial feeder or ring topology with HV cables installed in underground conduits.

The intent is to connect the kiosk RMU to the kiosk substations communication network as well.

Description

Kiosk RMU do not typically host HV circuit breakers but if any, the protection relay shall

communicate over a RS-485 link and be connected to the Ethernet switch over a gateway

converter.

Distributed IO shall be installed in an EMCS cabinet to segregate from the HV equipment

including the FOBOT and Ethernet switch.



OCTOBER-19 EMCS

The Ethernet switch shall be connected to the external optical fibre using a separate FOBOT.

Figure 77 Kiosk RMU EMCS arrangement

8.7.4 Large infrastructures and main substations

Large infrastructures and Main substations are likely to contain a large quantity of

communication equipment as well as an extensive quantity of tags to be retrieved onto the

EMCS system.

The developed architecture shall use the protocols nominated in §8.7.4.

The preferred network architecture should comply with principles established in §8.1 and with

the following schematic where:

If ICT do not plan to develop a communication room/cabinet to connect all devices then a

local Ethernet sub-network shall be developed.

The network Ethernet switch quantity shall be design to minimise the Ethernet cable

length and allocated per system/sub-systems.

If a single Ethernet switch is used or connect a large portion of total communication

equipment then it shall be reinforced by being industrial Ethernet type, fanless and with

redundant DC power supply inputs.

PLC, Distributed IO, power electronic converters shall be connected to the network over

Ethernet.

Full height rack shall be used to build RTU panels.

HV protection relays may be connected either over Ethernet (preferred) or RS-485 Serial.

Meters shall be connected over RS-485 Serial.

IED performing PQ metering and waveform capture shall be connected over Ethernet.

Local HMI, SCADA servers and workstations shall be connected over Ethernet.



OCTOBER-19 EMCS

The Ethernet network shall be dedicated to the EMCS/Control system of the plant. Other

services (e.g. CCTV over IP) shall not share this network.

The connection to ICT shall be wired and done either by optical fibre or Ethernet

connection.
