SIPROTEC 5 – Adaptive Protection Settings
Remote control of protection settings through IEC 61850

grid transmission capacity Control Center

Situation
• Calculation of protection settings & thermal
Today‘s reserve
limits for worst case conditions due to fixed limits
• Restrictive limits are to high during >90%
of the year Grid capacity
used today
Solution:
• Automatic adaption of protection settings
• Increased limits during >90% of the year
• Enhanced capacity of the transmission
system without building new lines
…
How is this done:
• Calculation of settings to be adapted on
control center level
• Download of new settings to SIPROTEC
protection relays using IEC 61850
