The multitude of conventional, individual
devices prevalent in the past as well as Wire

One design for all applications

In this respect, Siemens offers a uniform,
universal technology for the entire func-
4 tional scope of secondary equipment, both
in the construction and connection of the
devices and in their operation and commu-
nication. This results in uniformity of de-
sign, coordinated interfaces and the same Fig. 1: The digital substation control system SICAM implements all of the control, measurement and automation
functions of a substation. Protection relays are connected serially
operating concept being established
5 throughout, whether in power system and
generator protection, in measurement and
recording systems, in substation control
and protection or in telecontrol.
All devices are highly compact and im-
6 mune to interference, and are therefore
also suitable for direct installation in
switchgear cells. Furthermore, all devices
and systems are largely self-monitoring,
which means that previously costly mainte-
nance can be reduced considerably.

“Complete technology from one partner“
The Protection and Substation Control Sys-
tems Division of the Siemens Power Trans-
mission and Distribution Group supplies
8 devices and systems for: Fig. 2a: Protection and control in HV GIS switchgear Fig. 2b: Protection and control in bay dedicated
kiosks of an EHV switchyard
■ Power System Protection
■ Substation Control
■ Remote Control (RTUs) Rationalization of operation by means of SCADA-like operation control
■ Measurement and Recording

System Protection
Siemens offers a complete spectrum of
multifunctional, numerical relays for all
applications in the field of network and
machine protection.
Uniform design and electromagnetic-inter-
ference-free construction in metal housings
with conventional connection terminals in
accordance with public utility requirements
assure simple system design and usage
just as with conventional relays.
Numerical measurement techniques en-
sure precise operation and necessitate less
maintenance thanks to their continuous
self-monitoring capability.
The integration of additional protection
and other functions, such as real-time
operational measurements, event and fault
recording, all in one unit economizes on
space, design and wiring costs.
Setting and programming of the devices
can be performed through the integral,
plaintext, menu-guided operator display or
by using the comfortable PC program DIG-
SI for Windows*.
Open serial interfaces, IEC 870-5-103-com-
pliant, allow free communication with high-
er level control systems, including those
from other manufacturers. Connection to a
Profibus substation LAN is optionally possible.
Thus the on-line measurements and fault
data registered in the protective relays
can be used for local and remote control 9
or can be transmitted via telephone mo-
dem connections to the workplace of the
service engineer.
Siemens supplies individual devices as
well as complete protection systems in 10
factory finished cubicles. For complex ap-
plications, for example, in the field of extra-
high-voltage transmission, type and design
test facilities are available together with an
extensive and comprehensive network
model using the most modern simulation
and evaluation techniques.
