1 Point-on-Wave Controller Developed for Circuit Breaker Switching J. A. Jardini, R. P. Casolari, G. Y. Saiki, M. Masuda, , L. C. Magrini, R. M. Jacobsen Abstract - The controlled switching of circuit breakers has shown to have a highly satisfactory performance for the reduction of electric transients in the electrical grid while maneuvering circuit breakers. A controlled switching device was developed for the utilization in the energization and de-energization of unloaded transmission lines as well as in the disconnection and subsequent energization of unloaded power transformers. The device was developed using a DSP (Digital Signals Processing) system which resulted from an R&D project between the University of São Paulo and the Electric Power Utility Company ECTE (Empresa Catarinense de Transmissão de Energia S.A.) that belongs to the TBE (Transmissoras Brasileiras de Energia) group. Index Terms – Circuit breaker controlled switching, Transformer Inrush Currents Elimination, Overvoltage, COMTRADE, DSP I. INTRODUCTION Controlled switching is usually utilized by electronic devices so as to facilitate the contact operations of the switching equipment on a predetermined point in relation to a reference electric signal. The monitoring of the opening refers to the contact separation control technique of each pole of the circuit breaker in relation to the current phase angle, thus, controlling the arc time to minimize the stresses in the power system components. Similarly, these stresses can be minimized by using the controlled switching for monitoring the closing time in relation to the system voltage waveform. Such controllers are used for the interruption of small inductive currents, switching of capacitor banks and transmission lines as well as in the energization of power transformers. This paper will deal with the closing time control of circuit breakers for the maneuvers described next: • energization and de-energization of the 525 kV transmission line linking Blumenau and Campos Novos; • energizaton of the third 525/230 kV Blumenau transformer. In the cases of energization and de-energization of transmisJ. A.

As for the power transformers energization, the objective is to reduce the inrush currents that appear following its energization. Also, the basis and development specification of a controlled switching device utilizing a digital signals processing (DSP) system will be presented. The controlled switching device was developed for the Blumenau substation at ECTE. The system components in red color, shown in Fig. 1, pertain to the ECTE Company. Figura 1 - ECTE System (C. Novos/Blumenau 525 kV Transmission Line and the third power transformer) A. Energization of the Transmission Line The controlled switching device will be used for energization of unloaded transmission line. The studied line links Blumenau and Campos Novos and has 252.5 km of extension at 525 kV. The circuit breaker used in the substation of Blumenau is monopolar. The time when the voltage passes through zero, will present the least overvoltage in the circuit breaker. B. De-energization of the Transmission Line The system used for the de-energization of unloaded transmission line was the same case of line energization (figure 1). As there are no special devices to drain the residual load at the opening of the transmission line, the maneuvering is made in presence of residual loads in the three phases. After the opening of the transmission line, the device determines the polarity of the residual loads in each individual phase. The best deenergization times are the voltage peaks at the source side. The polarity of those peaks must be the same as the residual load in each individual phase. C. Transformer Energization The controlled switching of transformers has the objective of reducing the inrush currents that appear when the transformer 2 is energized. By choosing appropriate times for energization of the transformer, there will be a great reduction of those currents that are responsible for the harmonic generation, stress in some equipments and bad operation of protection systems. The present project used the energization strategy that takes into account the residual flux resulting from the precedent opening. Within that strategy, the delayed energization was used. The first phase to be energized is the one with greater residual flux in absolute value. This is advantageous because it allows the energization at low values of the source voltage, imposing a less voltage stress in the transformer at the energization time. That phase is energized at the time in that the residual flux is equal to the prospective flux of that phase. The prospective flux is the one that would exist in each phase in case of absence of the desenergization. For the remaining phases, different approaches can be used to reduce or to eliminate the core saturation, taking the net and the circuit breaker characteristics into account. An approach that has been studied and applied with success is the closing of the two remaining phases at the same time, some half-cycles after the passage through voltage zero of the first phase, once the residual flux in the other two phases is eliminated quickly in some cycles and a flux occurs called dynamic, which is the flux generated by the energization of the first phase. In a real application, a delay of 4.5 cycles has been used with success. Based on the methodology of the delayed energization, the project adopted as follows: "Initial Energization of the phase with greater residual flux (in absolute value) at the time in that the residual flux is same as the prospective one. The 2 remaining phases will be closed after 4.5 cycles, simultaneously, when the dynamic flux is the same as the prospective one." The residual and dynamic fluxes are obtained through the voltage integration beside the 525 kV of the transformer soon after the circuit breaker. Thus, the prospective flux is obtained through the voltage integration beside the source, in other words, before the circuit breaker. II. CONTROLLED SWITCHING DEVICE A. Hardware Architecture The selected hardware for the controlled switching device has, as a basic characteristic, the capacity to support the acquisition and treatment of at least 320 samples per cycle of six analogical channels in a way to provide an inferior error to 20 electric degrees. Those requirements are not complied by most of the commercialized industrial computers, which led to the development of a hardware based on the C6000 technology of Texas Instruments. From that DSPs family, the TMS320C67x generation was chosen, whose 32-bit processor operates at 225 MHz and incorporates resources of floating point. The manufacturer commercializes a "starter kit" denominated TMS320C6713 DSK, which was used as a basis for the hardware development. This TMS320 family is built on the VelociTI architecture. It presents a high performance architecture and very long instructions (VLIW) developed by Texas Instruments, which make of these devices an excellent choice for multichannel and multifuction applications, ideal for applications of high performance through a parallelism growth increase. The CPU core of the TMS320C6713 platform consists of 8 functional units (two multipliers and six ULAs) and 32 general purpose recorders with words of 32 length bits. These devices are developed with a data memory and with an on-chip program that can be set up as cache memories. The peripherals include improved controllers for direct access to the (EDMA) memory, power-down logic, interfaces for external memories (EMIF), multichannel buffered serial ports (McBSP), host interface (host-port) (HPI) and timers. The TMS320C6713 DSK kit has 16 Mbytes of SDRAM and 512 Kbyte flash and has a dedicated busbar (busbar EVM), through which several input and output peripherals can be linked. Through this busbar high-speed AD converters can be linked operating at up to 2Mhz of acquisition per channel, and up to four channels. Specific circuits with several AD converters can also be mounted as well as digital inputs, digital outputs, and also interfaces of serial communication of high-speed. The TMS320C6713 DSK kit incorporates besides the processor, devices required by DSP, such as, feeding circuit, timers, external memory, among others, providing the possibility of optimized execution of the project. This processing platform also includes audio input and output, connected to a 16 bits audio codec, parallel port for communication with the computer and connectors for the connection of expansion plates. They were incorporated to the analogical and digital interface plates kit that provides six inputs under voltage (0 to 130Vac) and six isolated current inputs (4 to 20ma) besides sixteen opto-digital inputs coupled dry contact type, and six digital voltage outputs implemented through IGBT's (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor). These six outputs power the opening reels and closing of each circuit breaker poles. The IGBTs are interconnected to the DSP through optical coupling, which should be connected to an external source of up to 125Vcc for powering of loads with current of up to 25 Amperes. The IGBT switching time is about 50 to 100 microseconds, however the time in order for the operation current to set down depends on the load to be energized. B. Software Architecture The programming is made in C language, through a tool of the manufacturer denominated Code Composer. This tool runs in MS Windows environment enabling the development and debugging of the code in high environment level, with resources for compilation of the code source developed and unloading of the binary code generated for the DSP via USB port. The developed software uses functional parameters, constant and processing keys that are stored in flash and are recovered in the beginning of the processing. It was developed in Visual Basic; a set-up tool that enables the user, in a laptop or interlinked PC to the DSP via serial port, to consult or alter any values of the parameters or coefficients of the formulas without the need to understand the DSP particularities nor its 3 memory mapping (figure 2). The openings or closings led by the equipment have an algorithm summary, as well as the wave form of the voltages and currents along the maneuvering, registered for later analysis. The wave form can be later extracted and saved in COMTRADE format, in the user's machine, through the set-up program. Figura 2 - Set-up program screen C. Algorithm In order to minimize the transitories resulting from the circuit breakers powering maneuvers, there is a need that they occur in certain intervals of voltage angle (for each phase). The first parameter considered in the algorithm of the system is the interval of the angle of the voltage of each phase, so that the switching time of each pole of the circuit breaker is located within the intervals of the voltage angle. For the powering to occur within these specified intervals, the opening and closing times were considered (operation times) of the circuit breakers supplied by the manufacturer. Additionally, the circuit breakers operation time, independent of the interruption system and of the type of operation mechanism, varies depending on certain service parameters: • With the control voltage reduced in the reel of the circuit breaker, there is less available energy to change the commands of electric control for a mechanical action. The operation is prolonged independently. (Valid for all types of drivers); • Altering the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic drivers, a change in the available energy occurs in order to execute the switching movement; • The environment temperature is the most complex influence parameter. The electric resistance of the operation reels, the viscosity of the oil and the SF6 gas pressure are dependent of the temperature. Besides, there is expansion of the powering rods and porcelains. All these parameters influence the operation time of different modes. In an extreme condition, each of these 3 parameters can alter the operation time in milliseconds order. The compensation of the variation of these parameters was also considered in the algorithm of the system. Each of these parameters is monitored through sensors associated to the system. In regard to the energization algorithm of the transmission line, as verified in simulations to the 3 phases, they should be closed in the interval of the voltage wave within -30º and +30º of each phase, central value equal to 0º, in other words, at the time in which the voltage in each phase is going through zero (sinusoidal wave). For the identification of the passage through zero, with positive derivative, the moment in that an n reading is bigger than zero and the readings n-1 and n-2 are smaller or same to zero is identified. The powering of the circuit breaker can be requested in any point of the voltage wave, through an external command. Starting from this command, the system will identify the moment of the passage through zero of the voltage wave of one of the system phases beside the source. In relation to this instant, the moment in that the circuit breaker must be powered will be calculated, taking the circuit breakers nominal operation time into consideration, compensated with the service parameters presented previously. The nominal operation time, corrected according to the current conditions, can be considered as a delay that should be counted so that the opening or closing is really concluded at the moment of the passage through zero of the voltage wave. The same procedure is made for the other phases taking the difference in phases of 120º and 240º into account. As for the de-energization of the transmission line (Without Reactor) the best times for de-energization occur when the voltages in the side source, in each phase, reach the values of the residual voltages of the respective phases, with an acceptable interval of ±30º around this excellent value. In this case the voltage of a system phase is monitored beside the source, as well as the voltages in the three phases of the system beside the line (before and after the LT opening). Based on this premise, the controller calculates the necessary delay times for each phase to be de-energized in the excellent point of the voltage wave. Also taking into account the additional times related to the circuit breaker operation and to the operation voltage variations of the closing reel, the oil pressure and of the environment temperature. In the Transformer Energization, the excellent moment occurs when the magnetic fluxes beside the transmission line (prospective) and beside the transformer (residual) are the same, for the phase that presents larger residual flux in absolute value. And the two remaining phases should be energized 4.5 cycles after the first phase, simultaneously. The magnetic flux is proportional to the integral voltage, to avoid displacement in relation to zero. The voltage integration must start at the moment in that it is at its maximum, and, therefore the magnetic flux is zero. For the identification of the maximum voltage instant, a similar function to the identification function of the passage through zero is used. The function basically determines the moment in which the signal presents a superior value to 90% of the maximum value verified in the previous cycle, and in which the voltage (n+1) <voltage (n) and voltage (n-1) <voltage (n). The calculation of the excellent instant also takes into account the additional times related to the operation of the circuit breaker and to the variations of the voltage of the closing 4 reel operation, the oil pressure and the environment temperature. D. Acquired signals The DSP analogical ports are connected to the following substation signals: • Voltage in Pole A, in busbar B of the substation beside the Transmission Line • Voltage in Pole A, in busbar beside the high voltage of the transformer • Voltage in Pole B, in busbar beside the high voltage of the transformer • Voltage in Pole C, in busbar beside the high voltage of the transformer • Signal AC representing the unloaded current of the transformer in phase A. • Signal DC from 4 to 20mA representing the hydraulic pressure in Pole A • Signal DC from 4 to 20mA representing the hydraulic pressure in Pole B • Signal DC from 4 to 20mA representing the hydraulic pressure in Pole C • Signal DC from 4 to 20mA representing the environment temperature • Signal DC from 4 to 20mA representing the Auxiliary Service Voltage. The voltage inputs and alternating current are acquired at a 20 kHz rate per channel, while the ones from 4 to 20 MA are swept at a 1 kHz rate per channel. The following digital information is collected at a 1 kHz frequency per channel; • Contact Condition 52A (NA) of the Circuit breaker • Contact Condition 52B (NF) of the Circuit breaker • Contact Condition 52A (NA) of the Circuit breaker • Contact Condition 52A (NF) of the Circuit breaker • Closing Command Condition given by the User to the Circuit Breaker • Closing Command Condition given by the User to the Circuit Breaker The developed equipment also offers a port for synchronization with a unique time base according to the IRIG B standard. III. TESTS Initially powering simulated tests in laboratory, without the physical presence of a circuit breaker, stimulating the switching device starting from a giga of tests, and using some of the digital inputs of the device to indicate the change of condition of the opening and closing IGBT outputs. These inputs would be normally used to verify the status of the circuit breakers. Once linked to the equipment, the developed software is continually collecting all of the analogical and digital signals, but only save the samples once the circuit breaker powering command is detected. Figura 3 - Test in the Blumenau substation The analogical and digital greatness of interest are registered starting from the command for the beginning from the maneuver up to the alteration of the contacts 52 a and b of the circuit breaker, which signalize the end of the operation. Later tests were made in field, in the Blumenau substation, with the objective of verifying the precision of the algorithms of the system during the opening and closing operations of the circuit breaker DJ1050 (Alston FX500KV) that belongs to the Transmission Line that links Blumenau to Campos Novos circuit breaker and half set-up). This test was made with the unloaded circuit breaker, in order to avoid that bad eventual operation of the device that could cause disturbance in the substation. In a first moment the measures made by the sensor ones were validated comparing them with the values originating from other sensors already existent in the substation. Several tests were accomplished for gauging the mathematical models that determine the times of closing and opening of the circuit breaker in real conditions of operation in field. As example one of the tests is introduced for the closing of the circuit breaker. In figure 1, the times corrected for the closing of each of the poles are presented, calculated by the device. After verifying the coherence between the closing and opening times, calculating from the greatness measured by the sensors, a closing test was accomplished for the verification of the powering instants of the IGBTs, and the results registered in the COMTRADE file, susceptible to be analyzed by any software and upon the oscillographics produced by other equipments of SE. 5 Table 1- Powering Times Greatness Device Pressure in Phase A (Bar) 361,9258 Pressure in Phase B (Bar) 356,1741 Pressure in Phase C (Bar) 360,9806 Auxiliary Service Voltage (V) 132,26 Environment Temperature (Celsius) 32,58 Phase A Closing Time (µs) Phase B Closing Time B (µs) Phase C Closing Time (µs) 19340,14 19650 19274,17 Figure 4 presents the oscillographics regarding the accomplished test, the tables presented are related to phase A voltage (the source side); voltages of phases A, B and C (the transmission line side); hydraulic pressures of the poles of phases A, B and C; environment temperature and feeding voltage of circuit breakers powering reels. As onc can observe in the oscillographics related to the test, after the duration of the maneuver calculated for pole A (19.34 ms), a passage through voltage zero occurred in pole A. The duration has as an initial referential, the powering instants of the IGBT's, which were highlighted in the oscillographics presented. Regarding the other phases the respective powering difference in phases of 120º and 240º were verified. As one can observe in the oscillographics regarding the test, after the duration of the maneuver calculated for pole A (19.34 ms), it happened a passage for the voltage zero in the pole A.

Regarding the other phases the respective powering difference in phases of 120º and 240º were verified. . IV. CONCLUSIONS The project of circuit breakers powering lasts for four years, which is in the beginning of the third year, with the development and tests of the device prototype for closing maneuvers. The equipment is being submitted to performance tests and validation to evaluate the adherence of the implemented mathematical models. The subsequent phase of the project will contemplate maneuvers of the circuit breaker in normal operation conditions, complementing the necessary requirements for complete approval of the powering device.
