A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses the mechanical reverberation of a vibrating crystal (typically a quartz crystal) to create an electrical signal with precise frequency. It is often used for stabilization applications, to help keep track of time, and to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits. Environmental factors such as humidity, pressure, vibration and in particular, temperature, affect the precision of the crystal oscillator’s frequency. To limit their level of influence, modified crystal…

Industrial Ethernet (IE) refers to the use of standard Ethernet protocols with rugged connectors and extended temperature switches in an industrial environment, for automation or process control. Components used in plant process areas must be designed to work in harsh environments of temperature extremes, humidity, and vibration that exceed the ranges for information technology equipment intended for installation in controlled environments. The use of fiber Ethernet reduces the problems of electrical noise and provides electrical isolation to prevent equipment damage.…

Numerical protection relays are used in electrical protection for detection of fault condition. The IED analyzes Current Voltage signal in the electrical system, and derives fault condition based on the output obtained by analysing the signals. For analysing the signal we perform FFT on the signal. The output of FFT is used and using various algorithms fault condition will be detected. This paper describes a method to use numerical protection as power factor controller. A power factor controller provides control…

Many of today's substation devices like protection relays are IEC 61850 compatible - one way or the other. From a SCADA point-of-view these and other devices can easily interface with such devices using the client/server communication services: •Get a value of single data object (GetDataValues – Client driven)•Get a list of values of data objects (GetDataValues with list sent in each request – Client driven)•Get the complete list values of data objects using a dataset object (GetDataSetValues – Client driven)•Get…
