Security Security All security settings have to be made by the user of the device! It is strictly recommended that you adapt the security settings according to the local regulations and requirements at the end of the commissioning procedure. The device is delivered with maximum “open” settings, i. e. all access restrictions are deactivated. This way the commissioning is not complicated unnecessarily.
Security Access Authorizations (access areas) Password Handling Password Entry at the Panel Passwords can be entered by way of the Softkeys. Example: For password (3244) press successively: Softkey 3 Softkey 2 Softkey 4 Softkey 4 Changing Passwords Passwords can be changed at the device in menu [Device Para/Passwords] or by means of the Smart view software.
That means, that all access areas have to be protected by a password that consists of 4 digits as minimum. Woodward will not take over any liability for any personal injuries or damages that are caused by deactivated password protection.
Page 192
Security Passwords – Areas The following table shows the access areas and the authorization passwords that they require in order to access them. Area Symbol Authorization Access to: Password Read Only-Lv0 Level 0 provides Read Only access to all settings and parameters of the device.

Security How to Unlock an Access Area or Check which Ones are Unlocked? Check for unlocked access areas: The menu [Device Para / Access Level] provides the information, which access areas (authorizations) are currently unlocked. Within this menu it is also possible to enter (unlock) a particular area. However, the common way during every-day-use of the device is not to use this [Access Level] menu, but to simply enter the menu path of a parameter to be changed, then start editing the parameter;...
Security Network Access Access via Smart view: One of the fundamental requirements of »IT Security« is to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing the own systems, including the protective device. The device offers access via its front panel, and via the operating software Smart view .

If the password should be lost and the »Reset all passwords« option has been made unavailable then the only chance to recover control is to reset the device to factory default. If this option has been deactivated, too, then the device has to be sent to Woodward as a service request. MCDLV4 DOK-HB-MCDLV4-2E...

Communication Protocols DNP3 DNP3 DNP (Distributed Network Protocol) is for data and information exchange between SCADA (Master) and IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices). The DNP protocol has been developed in first releases for serial communication. Due to further development of the DNP protocol, it offers now also TCP and UDP communication options via Ethernet.
Communication Protocols Point Mapping Please take into account that the designations of inputs and outputs are set from the Masters perspective. This way of choosing the designations is due to a definition in the DNP standard. That means for example that Binary Inputs that can be set within the Device Parameters of the DNP protocol are the “Binary Inputs”...
Page 345
Communication Protocols Please try to avoid gaps that will slow down the performance of the DNP communication. That means do not leave unused inputs / outputs in between used inputs / outputs (e.g. Do not use Binary Output 1 and 3 when 2 is unused).
Page 346
Communication Protocols Application Example Setting a Relay: Binary Output signals of the DNP cannot directly be used in order to switch relays because the DNP Binary Outputs are pulse signals (by DNP definition, not steady state). Steady states can be created by means of Logic functions. The Logic Functions can be assigned onto the Relay Inputs.

Time Synchronization Time Synchronization TimeSync The user has the possibility to synchronize the device with a central time generator. This offers the following advantages: The time does not drift off from the reference time. A continuously accumulating deviation from the reference time thereby will be balanced.
Time Synchronization Accuracy of Time Synchronization The accuracy of the device's synchronized system time depends on several factors: accuracy of the connected time generator used synchronization protocol when using Modbus TCP, SNTP or DNP3 TCP/UDP: Network load and data package transmission times Please consider the accuracy of the used time generator.
Page 396
Time Synchronization Selection of Timezone and Synchronization Protocol The protection relay masters both UTC and local time. This means that the device can be synchronized with UTC time while using local time for user display.

Time Synchronization SNTP SNTP Important pre-condition: The protective relay needs to have access to an SNTP server via the connected network. This server preferably should be installed locally. Principle – General Use SNTP is a standard protocol for time synchronisation via a network. For this at least one SNTP server has to be available within the network.
Time Synchronization Accuracy The accuracy of the used SNTP server and the excellence of its reference clock influences the accuracy of the protection relay's clock. For further information about accuracy refer to the chapter “Specifications”. With each transmitted time information, the SNTP server also sends information about its accuracy: Stratum: The stratum indicates over how many interacting NTP-Servers the used SNTP server is connected to an atomic or radio controlled clock.

Blockings Blockings The device provides a function for temporary and permanent blocking of the complete protection functionality or of single protection stages. Make absolutely sure that no illogical or even life-threatening blockings are allocated. Make sure that you do not carelessly deactivate protection functions which have to be available according to the protection concept.
Blockings To block the tripping command of a protection stage temporarily by an active assignment. The tripping command of any of the protection modules can be blocked from external. In this case, external does not only mean from outside the device, but also from outside the module. Not only real external signals are permitted to be used as blocking signals, as for example, the state of a digital input, but you can also choose any other signal from the »assignment list«.

Switchgear/Breaker – Manager Trip Manager – Assignment of commands The trip commands of the protection elements have to be assigned to those switchgear, that are make/break capable (Circuit Breaker). For every make/break capable switchgear a Trip Manager is provided. In the Trip Manger all tripping commands are combined by an “OR” logic. The actual tripping command to the switchgear is exclusively given by the Trip Manager.

Protective Elements About application type 1: The rated transformer current “In” is to be used here as the reference current “Ib” of the line differential protection. In general there should be the same type of phase current transformers at both ends, so that the following holds: Ib = CT = CT A prim...
Page 600
Protective Elements About application type 2: This application type has an additional transformer within the line, which is the primary protection object. The reference current “Ib” is no longer any of the rated transformer currents, but the nominal current of the transformer (which is calculated from the nominal apparent power and the nominal voltage of the winding side.

Protective Elements Backup Protection In principle, there are two strategies for a backup protection: 1. The backup protection functions are active all the time, i. e. In parallel with the line differential protection. 2. The backup protection functions get enabled as soon as the quality of the Protection Communication is no longer sufficient.

Protective Elements Phasor Compensation Please note: This section applies only if a step up transformer is part of the protected differential zone. Please note: The reference side for the phasor compensation is assigned fixed to current measuring card W1. The phase current phasor compensations are performed automatically and involve amplitude and phase adjustments based on the system parameters, voltage ratings, tap position (assuming the tap changer is on the winding 1 side), winding connections and groundings, and the secondary winding phase shift (n) relative to the primary.

Protective Elements Phase Compensation (ACB Phase System) Please note: This section applies only if a step up transformer is part of the protected differential zone. The phase shift n for the ACB phase sequence should be 12’s complement to the corresponding transformer connection type.
Page 622
Protective Elements Zero Sequence Removal Please note: This section applies only if a step up transformer is part of the protected differential zone. Zero sequence currents must be removed to prevent the phase differential protection from tripping on external ground faults. For ground faults, the zero sequence current exits only on the transformer winding side whose neutral is grounded, but not on the ungrounded winding side.
Page 623
Protective Elements Retrofitting – External Compensation Please note: This section applies only if a step up transformer is part of the protected differential zone. By using the external removal approach, just like many elctromechnical relays do, the relay will not see the zero sequence current (unlike other protection functions, such as residual overcurrent, ground differential , etc.) For a retrofit project, if the user has CTs externally connected in such a way that the zero sequence currents are removed automatically, then the internal zero sequence currents compensation will not be needed.

Protective Elements Transient Restraining The transient behavior can be evoked by: 1. Directly energizing the transformer (inrush effect); 2. Sympathetic inrush current sharing due to adjacent transformer energization; and/or 3. Saturation of the CT. Temporarily restraining can be triggered by: 1.
Page 626
Protective Elements Temporarily Restraining (by CT saturation monitoring) Beside the harmonic temporary restraining triggers, the protective device offers another trigger function - the Transients Monitor (Gradient Monitor). This monitor supervises the current transformer saturation. This monitor will be triggered by the behavior of the phase currents (their slopes, normalized derivative). The normalized derivative is defined as: ⋅...

Protective Elements Automatic Calculations: Amplitudes, Vector Groups, and Zero Sequence Removal The calculations performed can be done by matrix calculations. Three steps have to be completed. Adjust the amplitude according to all transformation ratios (Stepup transformer and CTs). Adjust the vector group angle by rotating the three-phase system accordingly. Remove the zero sequence current where necessary (this being valid for winding 1 and winding 2).
Page 631
Protective Elements For the secondary winding system: Zero sequence removal will be calculated for the secondary winding system, if the W2con value is set to yn or zn. A zero sequence current can only flow: 1. If the vector group is odd; 2.
Page 632
Protective Elements Magnetizing inrush: Basically, harmonics can be observed and monitored. Due to this fact, the 2 and 4 harmonic are monitored. Inrush currents depend on the time of energizing, the remnant magnetizing compared to phase of sinusoidal curve, the voltage (low voltage energizing produce less harmonic), the core material and the core geometry among others. It is recommended generally to set the harmonic restraint as active.
Page 633
Protective Elements The so-called transient time period directly after energizing strongly depends on the above mentioned influencing parameter. Time spans from nearly zero to more than 15 seconds are known for special auto-transformer banks. A typical setting of 2s is recommended for commonly used transformers. t-Trans Default (example) All harmonic-generating events can occur to a different degree in one, two, or all three phases.

Protective Elements Delta phi - Vector Surge The vector surge supervision protects synchronous generators in mains parallel operation due to very fast decoupling in case of mains failure. Very dangerous are mains auto reclosings for synchronous generators. The mains voltage returning typically after 300 ms can hit the generator in asynchronous position. A very fast decoupling is also necessary in case of long time mains failures.

Protective Elements Measuring Principle of Vector Surge Supervision Equivalent circuit at synchronous generator in parallel with the mains. V = I * j Xd Grid Voltage vectors at mains parallel operation. V = I * j Xd Grid/Load Generator The rotor displacement angle between stator and rotor is dependent on the mechanical moving torque of the generator.

Protective Elements Synchronization Modes The synchrocheck module is able to check the synchronization of two electrical systems (system-to-system) or between a generator and an electrical system (generator-to-system). For paralleling two electrical systems, the station frequency, voltage and phase angle should be exactly the same as the utility grid.

At the same time the controllable power reserve through large-scale power plants decreases.

Protective Elements Reconnection Module Available Elements: ReCon[1] ,ReCon[2] The reconnection function after a mains decoupling is based on the requirements of the VDE AR-N 4120 and the German directive „Erzeugungsanlagen am MS-Netz“ To monitor the reconnection conditions after a mains decoupling, a reconnection function has been implemented in parallel to the decoupling functions.
Page 915
Protective Elements After the decoupling functions have tripped so that the generator circuit breaker has been opened, some conditions must be fulfilled by the network operator before the reconnection of the power generating unit may be performed. These release conditions involve making sure that the mains voltages are within their valid value and frequency ranges.
Page 916
Protective Elements Voltage release by (self-) measured voltage values AND via remote control connection from the PCC This method can be used if the PCC is on the HV side. If the PCC is on the HV side the VDE AR-N 4120 (01/2015) permits connecting the power generation unit only if both the remote control release signal is present and the mains voltage connected to the generation unit is healthy.
Page 917
Protective Elements PCC in HV systems According to VDE-AR-N 4120 a reconnection of a Distributed Energy Resource to the grid is not allowed before the following conditions are fulfilled: The frequency of the mains/grid has to be between 47.5 and 51.5 Hz and the voltage between 93.5 and 127 kV (100 kV level).
Page 918
Protective Elements PCC in MV systems The German regulation „Erzeugungsanlagen am MS-Netz“ (BDEW, Issue June 2008 ) recommends to have a time delay (some minutes) between mains voltage recovery and reclosure after a trip of a decoupling system as a result of a mains failure.

Protective Elements LVRT – Low Voltage Ride Through [27(t)] Available Elements: LVRT[1] ,LVRT[2] Why LVRT? - Motivation for LVRT The rapid development of distributed resources (DR) based on the renewable energy such as wind, solar and others has been changing the electric power system and concepts for its control, protection, metering and communication rapidly, too.

Protective Elements Short Circuit Duration [s] Source: eBWK Bd. 60 (2008) Nr. 4 Authors: Dipl.-Ing. Thomas Smolka, Dr.-Ing. Karl-Heinz Weck, Zertifizierungstelle der FGH e.V., Mannheim, sowie Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Matthias Bartsch, Enercon GmbH, Aurich. Functional Principle of the LVRT From the grid operators point of view, a LVRT profile defines a voltage profile which a distributed energy resource, that is connected to the grid, should be able to ride through in case of a low voltage event (voltage dip).
Page 963
Protective Elements Auto Reclosure controlled LVRT As already mentioned, the purpose of LVRT is to keep the DR connected to the grid in case of a non-permanent voltage dip/sag. For faults within the electrical power system by which auto-reclosing function is used to coordinate with the short circuit protections like overcurrent or distance protections, it is to expect that more than one voltage dips are coming one after another in a time period which is determined by the preset auto-reclosing dead times and protection relay operating times.
