Section 2 Telecommunication networks and

line differential protection

2.1 Overview

GUID-8EC49FAE-5EFE-4C17-AD2A-F1824B2518B4 v1

Telecommunication networks have two main application areas for multi-terminal line

differential protection IEDs with up to five line ends:

• Networks with symmetric or fixed routes using echo timing (back-to-back systems

included)

• Networks with unspecified route switching using accurate global time derived from the

Global Positioning System (GPS)

Echo timing can be used as a fall-back system in the latter application area if

the GPS reference is lost in one or more IEDs,

.

GUID-0C62EF3A-999C-4EEF-BE48-CC4DF1DCD8D9 v1

With networks using symmetric or fixed routes and echo timing, the internal clock in each local

line differential protection IED operates as a master and the internal clock in each remote line

differential protection IED operates as a slave. Time deviations between the internal clocks are

monitored continuously, and compensated for with echo messages between all ends at 40 ms

intervals over the telecommunication network. After start-up, it takes approximately 15

seconds to reach full synchronization of the internal clocks. Time deviation between the

internal clocks is compensated for to be within 1 μs of relative time.

The internal clock also functions as a real time clock for other protection and

monitoring functions such as event timing, but this is totally separate from the

line differential protection function.

With networks using unspecified route switching, reference for the internal clock comes from

global time provided by, for example, a built-in GPS receiver. The internal clock in each line

differential protection IED is thus set according to the GPS systems' global time. Inaccuracy

depends on the connection time to the GPS system. After start-up (cold start), a software

calibration procedure is carried out. After less than one hour, all internal clocks' real time

deviation from the global time has decreased to 1 μs.

There can be only one master clock in the telecommunication network for the synchronization

of multiplexers, transceivers and differential protection relays' communication modems. This

clock can also be a GPS clock but the telecommunication network synchronization is totally

separate from the line differential protection IED's internal clock synchronization.

2.2 Telecommunication network types

GUID-3AA2C8C6-62B7-42E4-AD80-0479BAFF21C6 v1

There are two main types of telecommunication networks used by electric power utilities:

Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) networks and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)

networks (see Figure

2). These networks are mostly owned by the utilities, but it is also

possible to lease communication links from external companies.

1MRK 505 382-UEN E Section 2

Telecommunication networks and line differential protection

Communication set-up, 670/650 series 11

Application Guide

PDH networks are used with 64 kbit/s communication. Proper synchronization of PDH

networks must be available so that hey can be used with protection applications. SDH

networks are used with 2 Mbit/s communication.

SDH networks ≥ 2 Mbit/s

PDH networks ≤ 2 Mbit/s

ATM/IP networks ≥ 622 Mbit/s

Other networks ≥ X Gbit/s

PDH = Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy

SDH = Synchrono us Digital Hierarchy

IEC07000240-1-en.vsdx

PDH/SDH networks are most commonly

used for utility communication

2.3 Telecommunication networks with symmetric or fixed

routes

GUID-36D8D02D-E63A-4DFC-83C0-1C37708390AD v1

It is possible to use networks with fixed routes where symmetric time delay is applied, or

networks with fixed route switching where both directions have a symmetric time delay even

after route switching has been performed. In these types of networks, different channel delay

times are automatically compensated for, and echo timing can be used. If a fixed route has

specified asymmetry, this can be compensated for by using the

AsymDelay

parameter.

The maximum interruption time for route switching and echo timing (for example when a

communication channel is lost) without affecting the synchronization of internal clocks is 2 s.

The protection function gets blocked for the duration of the interruption. The 2 s time limit is

derived from the stability of the internal clocks. If route switching takes longer than that, the

protection function gets blocked until the internal clocks are re-synchronized. Proper re-

synchronization of the internal clocks takes an additional 15 seconds after the channel is

restored.

From protection point-of-view, route switching interruptions should be < 50 ms (normally

route switching takes < 0.1 ms). The maximum time delay in a telecommunication network can

be set to 40 ms (default delay being 20 ms). In echo timing mode, this time represents round-

trip delay divided by two. If the channel delay is longer than the set value, the protection

function gets blocked.

The recommended value for maximum time delay when using echo timing is 20

ms.

Section 2 1MRK 505 382-UEN E

Telecommunication networks and line differential protection

12 Communication set-up, 670/650 series

Application Guide

The protection function also gets blocked if the maximum time deviation (

MaxtDiffLevel

)

between the line differential protection IEDs' internal clocks is higher than ±200-2000 μs (see

Figure 3). Blocking of the function lasts until the internal clocks' deviation reaches the set value

range. Time required for new synchronization depends on the interruption time.

the respective (one to five) line differential protection IEDs. The setting is done on the local

HMI or via PCM600 (see Figure

4). Maximum time deviation depends on:

• Jitter and wander in the telecommunication network: typically ±100-200 μs in PDH

networks and ±50 μs in SDH networks (< ±100 μs according to telecommunication

standards).

• Acceptable small asymmetric delay: typically ±50–100 μs. A constant (fixed) asymmetric

delay in the duplex channels can be adjusted by setting the asymmetric delay on the local

HMI or via the parameter setting tool (PST) which is part of PCM600.

• Buffer memory in the telecommunication network: typically < +100 μs (buffer memories

should be avoided).

• Clock drift during two seconds: < ±100 μs.

Figure 4: Setting the MaxtDiffLevel in PCM600

The setting range for

MaxtDiffLevel

is ±200-2000 μs, and it must be coordinated with

reference to the sensitivity of the protection function. This setting is only relevant for echo

timing.

MaxtDiffLevel

is defined and measured at a sudden change in time difference between the line

ends induced by route switching. If the set value for

MaxtDiffLevel

is exceeded, the protection

function gets blocked. To avoid unwanted trips produced by a number of small changes below

the set value, these small changes are summated and checked to be below

MaxtDiffLevel

.

The line differential protection IED has no supervising function that could detect the

difference between asymmetric delay, buffer memory delay, telecommunication network jitter

and wander, and internal clock drift. The sum of these factors is supervised by observing the

deviation between the internal clocks in all IEDs.

GPSSyncErr

denotes GPS synchronization error, and it is activated when GPS global time and

internal clock time deviate by more than 16 μs. If activated, the differential protection function

can be set to be blocked or the echo mode can be set to be activated.

In an SDH network (≥ 2 Mbit/s) with an acceptably small asymmetric delay, for example G.703

E1, maximum time deviation of 2 x ±300 μs can be used. In a PDH network (n x 64 kbit/s) with a

buffer memory of for example 100 μs, typical maximum time deviation is 2 x ±400 μs. The

actual setting value is to be calculated accordingly.

2.3.1.2 Reference clock deviation from the set maximum time deviation

GUID-0FC23ED9-2CDB-48EE-ADDB-81D39E334F56 v1

Reference clock deviation lower than the set maximum time deviation

Route switching that causes the virtual difference between the internal clocks of respective

line differential protection IEDs to be lower than the set maximum time deviation due to

asymmetry in the communication channel delay, jitter and wander, and buffer memory, does

not cause a communication failure alarm or blocking of the protection function. The deviation

is considered to be within the accuracy requirements, and will be compensated for by the

normal synchronization mechanisms of the internal clocks.

If route switching takes longer than 2 s, master and slave IEDs start to re-synchronize after a 4

s delay incorporating the new channel asymmetry. Synchronization adjusts the internal clock

differences of differential protection IEDs at different line ends to be within ±1 μs. Time

synchronization messages are evaluated every 5 ms. If maximum time deviation is set to ±200

μs, it takes approximately 10 seconds to reach new synchronization. Synchronization reaches

the ±1 μs accuracy after an additional 10-15 seconds.
