Product Details:

SICAM Fault Passage Indicator (FPI) is a device that is used for detection and signalling of short circuit and earth-fault on medium voltage cable networks.

4 external current sensors detect the phase faults (R, Y, B) and earth-fault (E).

The current sensor detects phase fault and earth-fault current based on the set current threshold detection and communicate to SICAM FPI via an optical signal.

By using the rotary switch available on the individual sensor, you can set the fault current threshold for phase sensors from 200 A to 1200 A (Type 1 Series), 200 A to 800 A (Type 2 Series) and for earth sensor from 10 A to 100 A (Type 1 Series), 40 A to 300 A (Type 2 Series).

When the current exceeds the set threshold level, the current sensor provides an input via plastic fibre-optic cable to SICAM FPI. In this condition, the corresponding LEDs blink. In normal operating condition, there is no LED indication.

SICAM FPI is used as a fault detection and indication unit. SICAM FPI is used in the feeder and distribution automation of secondary medium-voltage systems that ranges from 10 kV to 36 kV.

Engineering Solutions:

•  Auto Transfer Scheme for Incomer and DG switchover 

A bus transfer system is designed to provide process continuity to the loads attached to a motor bus while transferring the bus from one source to another. A successful bus transfer under contingent conditions provides immense value and benefits to continuous process operations that cannot afford an interruption of power supply to plant auxiliaries. 

We are experienced in designing and implementing such schemes for substations.  This can be done as a retrofit in existing panels or supplied as a new panel as per station condition and requirement.

• Load Shedding scheme

During overloads in the mains, the load shedding applied to interruptible loads is often the only solution to keep the industries in operation. Normally, in such cases, non-critical loads that are earlier identified are tripped automatically to avoid interruption of critical loads and induced penalties when power is being drawn from the grid. 

We offer a range of products and solutions from Siemens/Schneider for these critical operations based on Current, Power or frequency for load shedding.

• Power System Studies and Relay Coordination’s

Relay coordination study and analysis is performed to make sure that safety operation of the system are functioning correctly and to avoid the nuisance tripping, as protection is a major concern in any industry and they rely on protective devices for the same. 

        The aim of a coordination study is to determine the characteristics, ratings, and settings of overcurrent protective devices which will ensure that minimum unfaulty load is interrupted when protective devices isolate a fault or overload anywhere in the system.

• Protection System Upgradation/ Retrofits with Modern Numerical Relays

Older relay usually outdated, are supposed to be replaced in industries to avoid mal tripping and ease operations in a plant. We offer 

1. Replacement of old Electromechanical Relays with Numerical Relays
2. Replacement of Outdated Numerical Relays with Latest Models
3. Upgradation of existing SCADA system
4. Integration of additional Devices into existing SCADA

            Our team is experienced in carrying out such services in all types of industries, from data collection, to upgradation and handing over.

All energy suppliers – whether they provide electricity, natural gas, water, or district heating – face ever greater and more complex demands as they implement new energy mixes. SICAM 230 is a scalable system for a broad range of applications and can be used from an integrated energy system for utility companies to a monitoring system for smart grid applications.

The SICAM 230 architecture is completely consistent – from the on-site controls to the redundant multi-hierarchic control system. New in the control room: SICAM 230 supports multi-touch controls. Use familiar gestures such as “swipe” or “zoom” for optimal control – to move or zoom in on a world view, for example. Adaptable multi-screen concept: SICAM 230 allows different monitor configurations within a single project. Screen layouts and user concepts can be tailored to the individual.

The user interface and display elements of system windows such as lists, trend charts, and log outputs can be parameterized, so users see only those features relevant to the processes they monitor.

Systematic locking mechanisms at the operating system level ensure secure operation, blocking unauthorized access to other system functions. Installing SICAM 230 is comparable to configuring standard software such as the Microsoft Office Suite. OPM II is the ideal tool to create and maintain the basic data model. This object-oriented process data manager is part of the SICAM TOOLBOX II engineering software for the entire SICAM product family.

Logging and archiving features

• Flexible reporting is an essential component of any control system. SICAM 230’s Easy Energy Reporting requires no special expertise. Standardized layouts based on Microsoft Excel are available for all areas. Use daily, monthly or annual logs to generate manual or cyclical reports from the SICAM 230 archive even save them directly to PDF. In addition to the reports, SICAM 230 also offers an archive editor with the following features:
• Manual correction of corrupted/invalid archive data
• Linear interpolation
• Copy and paste function for archive data

Energy distribution calculation

• The deployment and expansion of renewable energies is accompanied by shifts in the direction of the energy flow. On certain days, energy may be fed from cities and towns back into the high-voltage grid of upstream energy companies. Public utilities typically lack the tools needed to properly calculate the flow in demand.
• SICAM 230 calculates energy distribution using a simplified, single-phase, strictly ohmic model without the phase angle. During the multi-step command, the system calculates the future grid status and alarms the user if there is a risk of overload. The “Simulation” add-on module lets the user run various scenarios in advance to preview the expected energy distribution offline.

Seamless documentation

• From request to approval and planning to implementation, all the necessary transactions are displayed in one user-friendly workflow and are seamlessly documented. The layouts and documentation expressions can be easily customized in Microsoft Word.

Automation platform

• The growth of decentralized energy producers, the requirements placed on energy companies and the expected rise in the number of electric vehicles all require increased automation of the distribution network. It’s impossible to rule out disruptions in the energy supply and lapses in the permitted quality of the electrical voltage, but these events must always be monitored and logged.

Product Details:

The SICAM Fault Collector Gateway (FCG) device receives both the load current values and distribution line faults via the SICAM Fault Sensor Indicator (FSI)

The received information status and events are transmitted to the control center based on the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol or to the Siemens FLiC service using the XMPP protocol. The fault detected by SICAM FSI is communicated to SICAM FCG via short-range radio (SRR) communication within a distance of 100 meters.

SICAM FCG provides 6 binary inputs and 3 binary outputs. SICAM FCG can be configured and diagnosed locally using the Web GUI by connecting to a PC or laptop computer or remotely via General Packet Radio Service (GPRS).

The SICAM FCG has a plastic housing and it is strongly recommended to mount it within a metal cabinet for additional protection. The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and short-range radio antenna are mounted outside the metallic cabinet. SICAM FSI firmware and parameters can be updated from the SICAM FCG.

SICAM FCG Web GUI allows you to configure the parameters, display error and event log, upgrade of firmware, and download the configuration.

Binary Interfaces

• On the terminal block L, all the 3 binary inputs are independent and have a fixed threshold of 8 V. On the terminal block P, 2 binary inputs have a common root (P8, P9, and P10), 1 binary input (P11, P12) is independent.
• These binary inputs have selectable thresholds of DC 19 V, DC 88 V, or DC 176 V. Therefore an optimal adjustment to the pickup voltage can be made in the case of increased interference level.
• The binary outputs are designed as relay contacts. The terminal block P has 2 relay outputs Normally open (NO) and one relay output change over (CO). The relays can switch voltages up to AC/DC 250 V and currents up to AC/DC 5 A.

Communication

• SICAM FCG is a gateway device on the communication network between the SICAM FSIs and the control center. It provides interfaces and supports communication protocols to the SICAM FSIs (via short-range radio) and to the control center (via mobile networks). The gateway contains an interworking function for the communication exchanged between SICAM FSIs and the control center. The various device communication interfaces and protocols are available for the communication between the SICAM FCG and the control center.
• SICAM FCG has an Ethernet interface which supports the device parameterization and the monitoring.
• The communication interface supports the device parameterization and the transmission of messages and measured values. The information is transmitted in telegrams in a secured way.

Whether for hydropower plants or in the oil and gas sector, the energy industry relies on automation for energy distribution. But many plant components are safety-critical. So it is good when the necessary safety functions are already incorporated right in the automation solution.

Use SICAM Safety for your specific needs

• SICAM Safety is primarily suitable for the automation of hydropower plants. The modules protect turbines and generators from mechanical overload by reliably detecting:
• impermissible operating states,
• imbalance of the shaft due to bearing damage,
• rise in temperature due to an interwinding fault in the generator, or
• a guide vane fracture in a Francis turbine

Profit from consistency

• SICAM Safety lets you simply and conveniently integrate safety functions in your plant. In addition to automation functions, your SICAM platform thus also fulfills the necessary safety requirements. One system, more functionality, standard engineering for safety with efficiency.
• Expand your SICAM platform

The SICAM Safety application upgrades your existing SICAM hardware with reliable open and closed loop control functions. The SICAM Safety input/output modules are designed as terminal modules, allowing them to be combined flexibly with SICAM standard modules

• Expand SICAM TOOLBOX II

Plan and implement safety-related functions with the CAEx safety toolset – conveniently and simply in a single engineering tool

Product Details:

An important function of digital protection is to store disturbance records for more accurate analysis of critical events in the grid. As the memory for such records is limited in the relay it has shown convenient to extract them by use of standardized communication and store them on a hard disk on station level for further use.

Serial communication of digital protective devices to Substation Control Systems has been standardized and published as IEC standard protocol 60870-5-103. Recently the new standard for power utility communication IEC 61850 has added much more flexibility and performance to data exchange with different IEDs.

SICAM Diamond is a visualization and diagnosis system suitable for use with both Siemens telecontrol and station control technology. It is designed for substations which require a low-cost, simple-to-use, easily configured operating and monitoring system. The use of modern Web technology allows the sub-station to be monitored from any location without the installation of special software.

 

The RUGGEDCOM-Selector lets you configure RUGGEDCOM products quickly, easily, and efficiently, by using targeted navigation through selection menus or by entering item numbers. Selected products can then be ordered directly by transferring the parts list into the Industry Mall.

Features

• In addition to the diagnostic functions, SICAM Diamond provides a number of other functions for operating and monitoring the process:
• The process and system status messages as well as the switching actions are logged every millisecond to an event list
• Selected messages can be routed to an alarm list that can be configured for alarm acknowledgement
• Archiving: The content of the event list as well as measured values and count values combined in groups can be archived in month-specific files for a period of 12 months. The archive files can be downloaded via the intranet/Internet and further analyzed, for example, in Microsoft Excel
• SICAM Recpro saves the fault records automatically called up from the protective devices via SICAM PAS to a fault record archive. This archive can be accessed via the intranet/Internet using SICAM Diamond for visualization, analysis and downloading
• Graphical system diagrams can be generated for system management using an optional single line editor
• Unlike conventional operating and monitoring systems, SICAM Diamond can be configured quickly and without a long training period even by less experienced users.

Benefits

• SICAM Diamond for operation and monitoring – the benefits:
• reliable implementation of switching actions thanks to a comprehensive overview of the station
• cost and resource-optimized access to substations via Web-based clients
• higher operating safety thanks to uniform, intuitive user interface

• reliable, in-depth diagnosis possible by every client
• simple administration of access rights with the Admin tool
• simple to adapt and adjust if the station is extended/modified

The key to continuously improving power supply is essentially in depth knowledge of the relevant conditions of the local network. This is achieved through the use of all available sources connected to the system. Siemens offers a complete portfolio for network monitoring, power quality recording, fault recording, phasor measurement and system software application. Power quality and measurements supports power supply utilities and consumers with solutions required for the precise measurement, recording and reporting of the necessary distribution network data used to continuously determine, adapt and improve the power quality.

SICAM FCM the finger on the pulse of your distribution Network

The PC operating program DIGSI 4 is the user interface to the SIPROTEC devices. It is designed with a modern, intuitive user interface. With DIGSI 4, SIPROTEC devices are configured and evaluated – it is the tailored program for industrial and energy distribution systems.

For the system engineering of DIGSI 4 parameterized devices, the IEC 61850 system configurator is used.

The IEC 61850 system configurator is the manufacturer-neutral solution for the interoperable engineering of IEC 61850 products and systems. The tool supports the SCL (Substation Configuration Description Language) configuration files from the IEC 61850-6 through import or export of all formats (ICD/IID/CID/SCD/SSD/SED).

Thus, IEC 61850 devices can be added and a complete IEC 61850 station is available for the substation automation Technology.

Simple protection setting From the numerous protection functions, it is possible to easily select only those which are really required. This increases the clearness of the other menus.

Device setting with primary or secondary values The settings can be entered and displayed as primary or secondary values. Switching over between primary and secondary values is done with one mouse click in the toolbar.

Assignment matrix The DIGSI 4 matrix shows the user the complete configuration of the device at a glance. For example, the assignment of the LEDs, the binary inputs, and the output relays are displayed in one image. With one click, the assignment can be changed.

CFC: Projecting the logic instead of programming With the CFC (continuous function chart), it is possible to link and drive information without software knowledge by simply drawing technical processes, interlocks and operating sequences. Logical elements such as AND, OR, timers, etc., as well as limit value requests of measured values, are available.

Commissioning

Special attention has been paid to commissioning. All binary inputs and outputs can be set and read out in targeted way. Thus, a very simple wiring test is possible. Messages can be sent to the serial interface deliberately for test purposes.

For some years now, power generation and distribution have been undergoing major changes. The innovation cycles (where operating equipment and communication media are concerned) are getting ever shorter, and the market is becoming increasingly deregulated. The systems used to monitor power supply equipment and processes must take account of these changes. When new products are used, user friendliness, easy engineering, manifold interfacing to various communication media and extensibility are important Features. SICAM PAS (Power Automation System) meets all the demands placed on a distributed substation control system – both now and in the future. Amongst many other standardized communication protocols, SICAM PAS particularly supports the IEC 61850 standard for communication between substations and IEDs. SICAM PAS is an open system and – in addition to standardized data Transfer processes – it Features user interfaces for the integration of system-specific tasks and offers multiple automation options. SICAM PAS can thus be easily included in existing systems and used for system integration, too. With modern diagnostics, it optimally supports commissioning and maintenance. SICAM PAS is clearly structured and reliable, thanks to its open, fully documented and tested System.

System Architecture

 

SICAM PAS works on industrial-standard hardware with the Microsoft Windows operating systems. The advantages of this platform are low hardware and software costs, ease of operation, scalability, flexibility and constantly available support. With the powerful real-time data distribution system, applications can be allocated among several computers, thus boosting performance, connectivity and availability. 

Product Details:

With the growing pressure on costs in virtually all processes, there is increasing need to also automate smaller stations in order to make better and yet more reliable use of existing equipment. Modern, high-performance automation systems allow the integration of smaller stations to provide universal and reliable management of complex processes.

Compact performance: SICAM MIC

• SICAM MIC (Terminal Module for microcontrol) is a low-cost, modular, telecontrol substation and belongs to the proven SICAM automation family. The devices consist of a master control element and various I/O modules and are designed for DIN rail mounting. The master control element serves for the interfacing and supplying of the I/O modules and provides a telecommunications interface in accordance with IEC 60870-5-101 for dial-up or multi-point traffic. Alternatively LAN/WAN communication can be used, according to IEC 60870-5-104 over TCP/IP.

Integrated Web server for simple engineering

• We placed great importance on keeping the engineering process as simple as possible. The master control element has an integrated web server for configuration, diagnostics and testing, so that no special tools or additional licenses are needed. The tool is already integrated in SICAM MIC and is operated with a standard Web browser.

Plug & Play for servicing and commissioning

• The configuration parameters in SICAM MIC are already stored on an SIM card of the kind used in mobile phones. When commissioning or servicing, the configuration is simply transferred to the new device when the SIM card is inserted. Additional advantages of the SIM card are that all data is always available locally and there is no possibility of accidentally loading incorrect parameters (for example from a PC).
• Configuration is also possible with an offline tool without destination system hardware and can be carried out very simply at any desk. The fully written SIM card transfers the complete configuration into SICAM MIC. A Web browser is the only requirement for any changes or local tests. Alternatively, the engineering process can also be carried out with the SICAM TOOLBOX II.

Benefits

• SICAM MIC is a universal system suitable for electricity distribution stations, hydro-electric power stations, pipelines, gas distribution stations, railway power supplies and tunnels, and for building protection and alarm sensors
• Simple configuration by means of integrated Web browser with no special tools or licenses, configuration, diagnostics and testing via integrated Web server
• Alternatively engineering is also possible with the SICAM TOOLBOX II
• Simple application programs
• Plug & Play with SIM card for data storage when commissioning and servicing: no tools needed for changing modules; offline- and duplication tool for SIM card
• 35 mm DIN rail mounting
• Communication via IEC 60870-5-101/104

Essential Features:

• Open system thanks to standards

Device interfaces and communication protocols

• In a substation that you configure and operate with SICAM PAS, you can use various types of protection units, IEDs, bay control units, measured-value recorders and telecontrol units from a wide range of manufacturers. SICAM PAS offers a large number of commercially available communication protocols for recording data from various devices and through differing communication channels. Subsequent expansion is easy.

Available protocols

These communication protocols and device drivers can be obtained as optional additions to the standard scope of SICAM PAS.

• IEC 61850 (Client) IEC 61850 is the communication standard for interconnecting the devices at the bay and station control levels on the basis of Ethernet. IEC 61850 supports the direct exchange of data between IEDs, thus enabling switching interlocks across bays independently of the station control unit, for example.
• IEC 60870-5-103 (Master) Protection units, IEDs, bay control units, measured-value recorders and transformer controllers from many manufacturers support the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol and can therefore be connected directly to SICAM PAS.
• IEC 60870-5-101 (Master) The IEC 60870-5-101 protocol is generally used to connect telecontrol units. The ‘balanced’ and ‘unbalanced’ traffic modes are supported. Automatic dialing is also supported for the connection of substations with this protocol. SICAM PAS can establish the dial-up connection to the substation either cyclically or as required (e.g. for command output). By contrast, the substation can also establish a connection cyclically or in event-triggered mode.
• IEC 60870-5-104 (Master) Furthermore, connection of substations is also supported by the TCP/IP-based IEC 60870-5-104 protocol.
• DNP V3.0 (Master) – Level 3 Apart from the IEC protocols -101 and -104, DNP 3.0 is another standardized telecontrol protocol used by many IEDs and RTUs and applied worldwide. The units can be connected both serially and with TCP/IP (DNPi).
