Smart-Gear® power distribution solution (PDS)
Siemens, a world leader in innovative technologies, has taken another step forward by creating the total solution in medium-voltage, metal-clad switchgear.
In response to our customers' need for standard switchgear that is programmable and self-monitoring, Siemens has combined its advanced switchgear, protective relay products and its engineering experience to deliver a total package to customers: Smart-Gear® power distribution solution (PDS).
With Smart-Gear® PDS, users are provided the following features and benefits:
Reduced control wiring for increased reliability ‒ digital and fiber-optic circuits instead of hard-wired circuits
Self-monitoring ‒ feature-rich increased operational reliability
Programmable ‒ easy to implement complex schemes with flexibility for future changes
IEC 61850 communication protocol providing integrated control, monitoring and protection
Usage-based preventive maintenance notification
Faster commissioning and start up.
Smart-Gear® PDS is equipped with standard self-monitoring features, designed specifically to enhance the performance and reliability of the switchgear. With Smart-Gear® PDS, the user is notified in advance of potential problems such as those in trip circuit and space heater circuits. Also, based on the usage of the equipment, the user will be notified when periodic recommended preventive maintenance is needed.
Using IEC 61850 communication protocol, all control, monitoring and protection functions are accomplished through a redundant fiber-optic connection between protective relays and bay controllers. This communications capability reduces the need for much of the control wiring necessary to implement and change complex schemes, resulting in reduced field testing and commissioning time.

Application-based approach: A new way of specifying switchgear
An application-based approach to configuring switchgear offers a new way of thinking. For example, with an application-based approach, all switchgear functions including automatic transfer schemes, circuit breaker types, protection schemes and other special switchgear functions are described in terms of application modules. When combined, these application modules define the operation and configuration of a Smart-Gear® PDS solution.
All software programs and digital and hard-wired circuits used to perform specific operations or protective functions are referred to as "apps," which are protective relay hardware and software programming (continuous function chart (CFC) programming) designed specifically for application modules.

Overview
Smart-Gear® PDS is a programmable and self-monitoring power distribution solution that combines Siemens medium-voltage, air-insulated, metal-clad switchgear and Siemens SIPROTEC® protective relay technology to offer one of the most advanced standardized switchgear solutions in the industry. With its standard self-monitoring features and programmable capabilities, Smart-Gear® PDS redefines how switchgear is specified, engineered, operated, installed and maintained.
Feature rich
Smart-Gear® PDS is rich in standard features, specifically designed to monitor critical functions such as trip circuit integrity, space heater operation, vacuum interrupter wear, circuit breaker status, operations and more.
In traditional switchgear, many of these functions and features have to be specified and engineered specifically to the order, but with Smart-Gear® PDS these self-monitoring features are standard. For a list and description of these features and more, refer to the smart features section beginning on page 6.

Overview
Protective relays and metering
Smart-Gear® PDS is supplied with the most advanced protective relays in the industry, Siemens SIPROTEC® protective relays. These protective relays are fully equipped with the advanced protection functions and Ethernet-based IEC 61850 communications protocol over a redundant fiber-optic cable for high-speed data transmission. Refer to protection functions and metering section beginning on page 20 for a detailed description of the protective relay functions provided with Smart-Gear® PDS. For additional details on Siemens SIPROTEC® relays, refer to SIPROTEC® Numerical Protective Relays Catalog SIP 2008 E50001 K4400-A101-A5-7600 or contact your local Siemens representative.
The difference
Smart-Gear® PDS is equipped with more features and benefits than traditional switchgear. All applicable self-monitoring features, described in the smart features section beginning on page 6, are provided with the standard package. These self-monitoring features enhance the reliable performance of the equipment. With Smart-Gear® PDS, less control wiring is required to implement simple or highly complex control schemes. Communication capability enables interface between protective relays for each circuit breaker, interface with other Smart-Gear® PDS switchgear lineups, remote control capability and interface with many SCADA systems deployed with current communication protocols.
Simplification from design and specification, to commissioning and operation, is at the heart of Smart-Gear® PDS, the intelligent choice in your selection of medium-voltage switchgear.

Smart features
Standard features
Circuit breaker operating cycles monitoring
This smart feature alerts the user when the drawout circuit breaker is approaching its pre-set threshold of operating cycles for scheduled maintenance. The threshold is pre-set at the factory to provide advance notification at 80 percent usage (20 percent of the remaining operations) of the recommended operations cycle.
Trip-circuit monitoring
In the event of a fault, the user needs confidence that the circuit breaker trip circuit will open the circuit breaker. This feature monitors the integrity of the trip circuit and provides the user notification of non-functionality of the trip circuit resulting from failed trip coil or blown trip-circuit fuse.
Close-circuit monitoring (type SG-64 only)
Monitoring the status of the close circuit is critical in cases where transferring and redirecting power is required, such as with a main-tie-main automatic transfer scheme. This feature monitors the integrity of the close circuit and provides the user notification of non-functionality of the close circuit resulting from a failed close coil or blown close-circuit fuse.
Vacuum interrupter wear monitoring
This smart feature monitors the remaining expected life of the vacuum interrupters by calculating the accumulated load, no-load and short-circuit interruption data. Based on the calculation, the user is given notification of vacuum interrupter contact wear. Means for visual verification of the vacuum interrupter during circuit breaker inspection is standard.
Circuit breaker racking position indication (type SG-64 only)
The position status of the circuit breaker is connected to binary inputs on the protective relay, and is thus available for local and remote monitoring and control logic. The circuit breaker positions include connected, disconnected and test.
Integrated controls
Two things visibly different about Smart- Gear® PDS compared to traditional switchgear are fewer control devices and significantly less control wiring. With Smart-Gear® PDS, the circuit breaker control switch function (CS) and lockout protective relay function (86) are an integral part of the protective relay. Having these control functions in the protective relay enables the user to change control logic electronically without having to change the hard-wired circuitry.
Integrated power monitoring
Main, feeder and tie circuit breakers are equipped with integrated power metering (one percent accuracy) including current, voltage and power measurement functions. Current measurements include Ia, Ib, Ic, min/max and min/max current demand. Voltage measurements include phase voltages and min/max. Power measurements include peak demand kW, peak demand kVAr and peak demand kVA, min/max power factor, min/max frequency, set-points and pulse counter. Min/max data also includes date and time.
Programmable circuit breaker control interlocking (optional)
Continuous function chart (CFC) programming software makes digital circuit breaker interlocking available for a Smart-Gear® PDS. This technology enables interlocking of multiple circuit breakers in the lineup, enabling user modification without complicated and timely wiring changes and retesting. All interunit connectivity between circuit breakers is through IEC 61850 communication protocol over redundant fiber-optic connections.

Smart features
Voltage transformer monitoring
Three-phase, wye-connected (required) voltage transformers are monitored for proper operation including blown fuse and voltage transformer failure. As with other event data, this information is retained in the protective relay ready for local and remote monitoring.
Current transformer monitoring
Current transformers are monitored for proper phase and current summation. Information is retained in the protective relay ready for local and remote monitoring.
Bus protection (device 50B)
Reverse-zone interlocking is used to distinguish a bus fault from a through-fault and uses IEC 61850 generic object oriented substation event (GOOSE) messaging.
Space heater operation monitoring
Space heater functionality is important for long-term operation and reliability of switchgear, particularly under conditions of high humidity or in outdoor applications. Many switchgear failures result from improper use of space heaters including instances in which the space heaters were not energized or were never wired to the power source. With Smart-Gear® PDS, the operation of the space heaters is under constant monitoring to improve the long-term reliability of the power distribution system.
Large display (type SG-64 only)
A large display screen is provided with the Siemens SIPROTEC® type 7SJ6415 protective relay solution and is provided for all main circuit breakers.
IEC 61850 enabled
Each protective relay is equipped with IEC 61850 communication protocol. More information on IEC 61850 is included in the communications and controls section beginning on page 23.
Programmable main-tie-main transfer scheme (optional)
CFC programming software makes digital implementation of automatic transfer schemes available for Smart-Gear® PDS. Like the programmable circuit breaker interlocking feature, this feature enables the user to modify the scheme without complicated and time-consuming wiring changes and retesting. All interunit connectivity between circuit breakers is with redundant fiber-optic connections.
Fan cooling monitoring for fan-cooled circuit breakers (type SG-64 only)
This feature monitors the cooling fan for a 4,000 A circuit breaker (in types GM-SG and GM-SG-AR switchgear up to 15 kV) or 3,000 A circuit breaker (in type GM38 switchgear up to 38 kV). The cooling fan air-flow switch provides the input signal to the protective relay for local and remote monitoring.
Arc-flash detection (optional)
Arc-flash detection is available with Smart-Gear® PDS.

Communications and controls
Because IEC 61850 is the global standard for substation automation communication protocol, it is the standard communication protocol used for Smart-Gear® PDS. IEC 61850 communicates over TCP/IP networks and/or substation LANs using high-speed switched Ethernet (baud rate is 100 Mbps). It can be mapped to the most well-established protocols, including GOOSE or peer-to-peer messaging and Web services.
Since IEC 61850 is an open protocol that supports communication for monitoring, control and protection functions, it offers significant advantages for interfacing among circuit breakers within a lineup as well as other devices throughout the power distribution system.
All Siemens type SIPROTEC® protective relays used in Smart-Gear® PDS are equipped for IEC 61850 communications. The automatic transfer and circuit breaker interlock schemes described in system application modules beginning on page 10 are achieved through continuous function chart (CFC) programming, and initiated by the protective relays through IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging communication. This digital capability significantly reduces the number of control wires, especially interunit (wiring between sections) control wiring.
There are three communication and control application modules, including local control, remote-local control and remote control application. Each control and monitoring module is a building block for configuring an advanced communications network, in which the local control and monitoring are the foundation for all other control and monitoring modules.

Smart-Gear® PDS network: local control and monitoring
Local control and monitoring is accomplished among the Siemens type SIPROTEC® protective relays within the Smart-Gear® PDS switchgear lineup. The protective relays are pre-programmed using Siemens DIGSI 4 software to meet the specific application requirements, including automatic transfer schemes and circuit breaker interlock schemes as described in system application modules on pages 10-12. For Smart-Gear® PDS, local operation and control (closing and opening) of the circuit breakers is accomplished through the protective relay circuit. All automatic transfer, circuit breaker interlocking and lockout functions are accomplished through protective relays within the local digital network.
The interface among circuit breakers is accomplished with CFC programming, IEC 61850, peer-to-peer/GOOSE messaging and fiber-optic connections. The input/ output between a protective relay and a circuit breakers is hard-wired.
Main-tie-main automatic transfer schemes are accomplished with GOOSE messaging and CFC programming, which is a more reliable and flexible approach to system automation.
Extended Smart-Gear® PDS network: local/remote communication and controls
Local/remote communication and controls are accomplished using IEC 61850 over dual fiber-optic connection. This system retains all of the functions and capabilities of the remote control application modules described on page 18 while enabling remote monitoring and control of the Smart-Gear® PDS switchgear lineup. Through the touch screen panel PC (HMI interface) or the type SIPROTEC® CBII controller, the operator has complete control of the lineup to remotely view the status and operate each circuit breaker. The touch screen panel PC or type SIPROTEC® CBII controller can be located remotely or close to the Smart-Gear® PDS switchgear lineup (refer to remote control application modules on page 18 for details on capabilities of the local HMI and type SIPROTEC® CBII controller).
Extended Smart-Gear® PDS network: interface with new and existing power management systems
Remote communication and controls with interface capability to new or existing systems is accomplished using IEC 61850 protocol. This system has all of the functions and capabilities as the local control and monitoring module, described on page 28, as well as the remote enhancement described above. This provides the ability to interface with existing systems, including SCADA and building management systems (BMS). Because the SICAM station unit used in this application supports a large number of established protocols, the self-monitoring data and control functions capability from the Smart-Gear® PDS local network is available to other systems, thus providing a seamless integration into existing networks.
