Project Description

---

GED is an Indian state utility in Goa situated in west coast of India.

This is a 33/11 kV substation.

It includes communication with protection relay, energy meters using Gateway and SCADA software.The local SCADAis used for monitoring and control operation of the switch gear equipment.

Status of each 33 kv and 11 kv Bays status shown. Both 33 kv and 11 kv RMU's are in individual screens.

IEC61850 Communication of CG BCPU's in 11 kv and 33 kv bays.

The local SCADA shows online status of the substation by means of SLD screen shown in the iControl SCADA. There are also bay wise screens, individual bay screens, metering information screen and architecture screen shown in the SCADA.These screen displays the information of the switch gear equipment and metering details.

Silent features of this project

---

All the automation related devices like relays, SCADA servers, Gateway are time Synchronised with the GPS clock using SNTP protocol.

This project illustrates the system communication and network topology for a power distribution system, highlighting the integration of SCADA servers, Ethernet switches, and substation components.

The network is designed to ensure reliable data flow, monitoring, and control of substations and feeders.

SCADA Servers: Includes SCADA Server-1 and SCADA Server-2, which handle data collection, monitoring, and redundancy management.

Ethernet Switches: Multiple switches are deployed, including Ethernet Switch-1, Ethernet Switch-2, Ethernet Switch-3, Panel Ethernet Switch-1, and Panel Ethernet Switch-2, ensuring seamless communication between components.

Substation Components: The setup integrates SAS (Substation Automation System), GPS, BCU (Bus Control Unit), iGW-1, and iGW-2 for efficient control and automation.

Feeder and Transformer Connections: - 33kV Incoming Feeders (1–2) - 33kV Side Transformers (1–2) - 33kV Bus Couplers (1–2) - 33kV Station Transformer - 11kV Outgoing Feeders (1–8) - 11kV Bus PTs (1–2)

The system supports monitoring features with labels such as "Server Status," "Current Server," "Peer Server," and "Switchover Ready?" to track server activity and ensure high availability.

This communication architecture is typically deployed in power plants or distribution networks to manage operations, improve reliability, and provide real-time system visibility.
