The active power P direction can be selected between forward and reverse with Active
power Dir and correspondingly the reactive power Q direction can be selected with
Reactive power Dir. This affects also the accumulated energy directions.
The accumulated energy is calculated separately as forward active (EA_FWD_ACM),
reverse active (EA_RV_ACM), forward reactive (ER_FWD_ACM) and reverse reactive
(ER_RV_ACM). Depending on the value of the unit multiplier selected with Energy unit
Mult, the calculated power values are presented in units of kWh/kVArh or in units of
MWh/MVArh.
When the energy counter reaches its defined maximum value, the counter value is reset
and restarted from zero. Changing the value of the Energy unit Mult setting resets the
accumulated energy values to the initial values, that is, EA_FWD_ACM to Forward Wh
Initial, EA_RV_ACM to Reverse Wh Initial, ER_FWD_ACM to Forward VArh Initial and
ER_RV_ACM to Reverse VArh Initial. It is also possible to reset the accumulated energy
to initial values through a parameter or with the RSTACM input.
Sequence components
The phase-sequence components are calculated using the phase currents and phase
voltages. More information on calculating the phase-sequence components can be found
in Calculated measurements

Measurement function applications

The measurement functions are used for power system measurement, supervision and
reporting to LHMI, a monitoring tool within PCM600, or to the station level, for example,
with IEC 61850. The possibility to continuously monitor the measured values of active
power, reactive power, currents, voltages, power factors and so on, is vital for efficient
production, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy. It provides a fast and easy
overview of the present status of the power system to the system operator. Additionally,
it can be used during testing and commissioning of protection relays to verify the proper
operation and connection of instrument transformers, that is, the current transformers
(CTs) and voltage transformers (VTs). The proper operation of the protection relay analog
measurement chain can be verified during normal service by a periodic comparison of the
measured value from the protection relay to other independent meters.
