07/07/2025

Smart Substation Digital Interface Scheme
Technical Focus:​ Deep integration of the IEC 61850 protocol
This solution deeply integrates the IEC 61850 standard to build a future-oriented digital transformer system, achieving device interoperability, efficient data sharing, and intelligent system operation and maintenance.

Key Innovations

  1. Composite Sensing Technology
    • Rogowski Coil + Capacitive Voltage Divider Composite Sensing:​ Combines the Rogowski coil's wide frequency response (suitable for transient harmonics) with the high accuracy of capacitive voltage division, achieving non-saturated measurement of full-frequency signals (0.5Hz ~ 3kHz), eliminating ferroresonance risks inherent in traditional iron-core transformers.
  2. Embedded High-Precision Merging Unit (MU)
    • Supports IEC 61850-9-2LE Sampled Value (SV) transmission protocol.
    • Sampling rate: 4000Hz, meeting transient process analysis requirements.
    • GOOSE tripping delay <3ms, ensuring fast response of protection systems.
    • Real-time clock synchronization accuracy ±1μs (based on IRIG-B/PTP), guaranteeing timestamp consistency for system-wide data.
  3. Intelligent Self-Diagnosis System
    • Ferroresonance Online Early Warning:​ Monitors characteristic resonance frequencies (30-300Hz) in real-time and actively triggers damping strategies.
    • Winding Temperature Rise Warning:​ Embeds temperature sensors to dynamically analyze temperature rise curves and predict insulation aging risks.
    • Fault Location:​ Achieves bay-level precision, supporting remote operation and maintenance decisions.
  4. Industrial-Grade Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
    • EMC Immunity Level: Class IV (Complies with GB/T 17626):
      • Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Field Immunity: 10V/m (80MHz~1GHz)
      • Surge/EFT Immunity: ±6kV/±4kV, suitable for complex electromagnetic environments.
