SYNCHROPHASORS - INITIATIVE IN INDIA JUNE 20125.4.6 Case Study-25: Validation of the operation time of SPSA System Protection Scheme (SPS) has been installed at NapthaJhakri Hydro station to trip oneor more generating units at Karcham Wangtoo in case of tripping of one or more evacuationfeeders from the complex. The SPS operated on 16 th July 2011 due to tripping of 400kV Jhakri-Abdullapur line-1. The running units at Karcham Wangtoo HEP tripped. The synchrophasorsdata captured during the event along with SCADA sequence of events and Disturbance record/Event logger from 400kV Abdullapur (P.G) substation & Karcham Wangtoo HEP were used tocompare the actual SPS operation time with the envisaged operation time.Table 9: Tripping time details of Jhakri-Abdullapur lineAbdullapur (P.G)SCADAAs inferredDisturbancesequence offrom PMU dataEventrecordEvents (SOE)at NRLDCTime of receipt of Direct trip atAbdullapurTime of opening of 400kVAbdullapur-Jhakri Main breakerTime of opening of 400kVAbdullapur-Jhakri Tie breaker04:28:57.330 04:28:57.30204:28:57.370 04:28:57.32604:28:57.371 04:28:57.3424:28:57.240Table No. 9 shows the 400kV Jhakri-Abdullapur line-2 tripping time obtained from Abdullapurend disturbace recorder, SCADA SOE & PMU data.
