POWER GRID CORPO-
RATION OF INDIA LTD.
(POWERGRID), India’s Central
Transmission Utility owns
about 63,000 km of trans-
mission lines and 107 sub-
stations with a transformation
capacity of 63,000 MVA. Its
best standards and practices
help maintain grid availability
consistently over 99 %. Per
annum, about 200 billion TWh
power are transmitted across
the entire length and breadth
of the country. The national
grid operator is India’s first
power utility to be accredited
with ISO 9001. With its
in-house expertise in all areas
of transmission including
800 kV AC, 500 kV HVDC,
etc., it plans to create a
strong and vibrant national
grid by 2012. Until then, over
60,000 km of transmission
lines shall be added to
evacuate an additional
100,000 MW of electrical
energy.
The Challenge
For the new Maharanibagh 400 kV GIS substa-
tion, an automation system based on the most
modern technology is required. The station
is located in the centre of New Delhi and sup-
plies both commercial and residential areas.
A very high system availability of 99.98 percent
shall be ensured through field-proven IEDs and
a redundancy concept for local operation as
well as remote control and supervision from
the Remote Control Centre (RCC) and Regional
System Coordination Centre (RSCC) via IEC 101
protocol. Using components with verified
IEC 61850 implementation as well as SCL-
based tools, the vendor shall ensure a fully
integrated and interoperable system that
is easy to expand in the future.
ABB’s solution
The solution chosen is based on ABB’s state-of-the-art IED 670 for protection and
control of each bay and dual station HMIs in a hot-standby configuration. It also fea-
tures redundant COM 581 communication gateways for telecontrol from the RCC at
Ballabhgarh and the RSCC at New Delhi. The system’s fault-tolerant ring configuration
using Ethernet switches with dual power supplies interconnects all IEDs including the
3rd party Main 2 protection IEDs, which have successfully been integrated. GOOSE
messaging is used for software interlocks, auto-reclosing as well as triggering of distur-
bance recording. The complete substation, including the gas insulated switchgear and
transformers, is supplied by ABB as a turnkey package. It is the first such station
to be equipped with Local Control Cubicles (LCC) that are locally engineered and man-
ufactured by ABB India.
