ALSTOM GE Network Stability and Control

The C60 breaker protection system is a substation hardened controller that provides a complete integrated package for the protection, control, and monitoring of circuit breakers. The C60 supports dual-breaker busbar configurations such as breaker-and-a-half or ring bus arrangements.Signals from up to 4 sets of CT’s can be brought into the C60 via convetional wiring or process bus for internal summation, which is advantageous by still having the individual currents available for metering and the additional protection elements that operate on individual currents.

Key Benefits

• Complete breaker control, monitoring and integration in a single platform
• Advanced IEC 61850 Ed. 1 and Ed. 2 certified implementation, complete settings via SCL files and flexible process bus support (IEC 61850-9-2LE or IEC 61850-9-2 Hardfiber) ensures interoperability, device managing optimization and reduced cost of ownership
• Routable GOOSE (R-GOOSE) enables GOOSE messages going beyond the substation, which enables wide area protection and control applications
• Reduced wiring through the use of high-speed peer-to-peer communication for accepting trip and close commands from other relays
• Advanced automation capabilities for providing customized protection and control solutions
• Robust network security enabling Critical Infrastructure Protection through user command logging, and dual permission access control
• Simplified system integration with communications supporting serial, Ethernet and multiple protocols
• Phasor Measurement Unit (synchrophasor) according to IEEE® C37.118 (2011) and IEC® 61850-90-5 support
• Supports latest edition of waveform capture (COMTRADE 2013) simplifying fault records management
• Application flexibility with multiple I/O options including high density I/O, programmable logic, modularity, and specific customization
• An integrated large, full color display, provides real-time visualization and control of the protected bay, via a bay mimic as well as annunciator functionality and graphical visualization of phasors

The C30 controller system is a programmable logic controller for performing substation or bay automation that can also be used for expanding the I/O capability of protection devices and replacing Sequence of Event (SOE) recorders. The C30 provides fast deterministic execution of programmable logic with I/O capabilities far above an average protection relay.
