Device_List Spreadsheet |
The spreadsheet with a list of devices is used to correlate devices modeled in an EDB file with the list of measurements of distribution and substation devices. This file also defines configuration for groups of protection adjustment, current limits, loading scenarios for simulation, and other specific features of devices. The columns that must be filled for each modeled device are the following:
•Container: Column used to indicate the Substation or Feeder to which a device belongs. It must have the same name defined on the system's electrical model file
•Device: Name of a device, as defined on the system's electrical model file
•Remote Model: This column must be filled with the name of the spreadsheet, and therefore the CSV file, defined for the remote model of network device, Feeder's Switches and Reclosers, or the name of the file created for the Substation to which a device belongs
•Type: Indicates the type of device defined on the system's model. Possible values are DJ: Devices inside a Substation, RL: Distribution Reclosers, or CH: Distribution Switches
•Heavy Load (kW): Load value of a device's downstream block during a heavy load time. It must be the block load delimited by devices tele-controlled by the Self-Healing Module. This value is defined in kW and it is only used by the simulator. When loading a heavy load scenario in the simulator, this value is considered on the device's downstream block
•Light Load (kW): Load value of a device's downstream block during a light load time. It must be the block load delimited by devices tele-controlled by the Self-Healing Module. This value is defined in kW and it is only used by the simulator. When loading a light load scenario in the simulator, this value is considered on the device's downstream block

Possible values are 0: There is no current, 1: Current direction is from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2, or -1: Current direction is from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1. This parameter's value must be defined by the operation and protection teams of the distribution company
•Min Dev Down G2: This columns is used by the Self-Healing Module to identify the minimum number of closed downstream devices so that the adjustment group 2 (two) is selected. This parameter's value must be defined by the operation and protection teams of the distribution company
•Max Dev Down G2: This columns is used by the Self-Healing Module to identify the maximum number of closed downstream devices so that the adjustment group 2 (two) is selected. This parameter's value must be defined by the operation and protection teams of the distribution company
•Signal G3: This column is used to configure to which direction the adjustment group 3 (three) must be selected on the device. Possible values are 0: There is no current, 1: Current direction is from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2, or -1: Current direction is from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1. This parameter's value must be defined by the operation and protection teams of the distribution company
•Min Dev Down G3: This columns is used by the Self-Healing Module to identify the minimum number of closed downstream devices so that the adjustment group 3 (one) is selected. This parameter's value must be defined by the operation and protection teams of the distribution company
•Max Dev Down G3: This columns is used by the Self-Healing Module to identify the maximum number of closed downstream devices so that the adjustment group 3 (three) is selected. This parameter's value must be defined by the operation and protection teams of the distribution company
•Master DNP3 Driver: Indicates the name of a Master DNP3 Driver used to communicate with a device. This column must be filled only for devices from the distribution network. For Substation devices, this column must be left blank. This column may have another use for cases in which an integration via ICCP is performed with an external SCADA system
•DeviceDNP3: Indicates the slave address a device from a distribution network has on the Master DNP3 Driver. For Substation devices, this column must be left blank. This column may have another use for cases in which an integration via ICCP is performed with an external SCADA system
•FirstReclosingDelay: This column must be filled only for devices that do not contain a Measurement coming from the field to indicate the lockout of a recloser cycle. If an application needs to calculate the lockout, this column indicates how many seconds a device must wait to perform a first try of the closing cycle. For all other devices, this column must be filled with the value N
•SecondReclosingDelay: This column must be filled only for devices that do not contain a Measurement coming from the field to indicate the lockout of a recloser cycle. If an application needs to calculate the lockout, this column indicates how many seconds a device must wait to perform a second try of the closing cycle. For all other devices, this column must be filled with the value N
•ReclosingTimeOut: This column must be filled only for devices that do not contain a Measurement coming from the field to indicate the lockout of a recloser cycle. If an application needs to calculate the lockout, this column indicates how many seconds a device must wait so that the recloser counting is restarted. For all other devices, this column must be filled with the value N
•DNP3_SH_OffSet_N4: This column is used to inform from which DNP3 address, that is, the N4 parameter of an I/O Tag, the Self-Healing Module points are inserted in a Substation's Slave DNP3 Driver. This column must be filled only on Substation devices, where all devices are sampled by a single Master DNP3 Driver and have the same Device, that is, the N1 parameter of an I/O Tag. For distribution networks, this column must be equal to 0 (zero). This column may have another use for cases in which an integration via ICCP is performed with an external SCADA system
•SH Automatic Mode: Column that indicates whether the Self-Healing Module can send commands to a field device. If this column is configured with the value S (Yes), commands can be sent, and if it is configured with the value N (No), commands are not sent to the field. The configuration of the non-automatic mode N is used for testing, where users can check a response calculated by the Self-Healing Module, but without action in the field. This operation mode is also called listen mode, It is advisable, that, during commissioning tests, the device itself and all downstream devices are configured with the value N. This avoids possible improper triggers. In a normal operation mode, all devices must be configured with the value S (working in automatic mode)
•EnableTriggerDeEnergizing: Indicates whether handling a bar de-energizing is enabled or not on a low-voltage Breaker of a Substation's Transformer. The value N means that bar de-energizing is enabled on the device. This column must be filled only for the low-voltage Breaker of the Substation's Transformer. For devices that are not Transformer Breakers, this column must be equal to N
•DownstreamBreakersDeEnergizing: Column that indicates a list of Breakers or output Reclosers of Feeders (a device of the Substation connected to the Feeder's Link Node) connected to a Transformer's downstream Breaker through a Bar. This list of devices must be separated by a vertical bar character. This column must be filled only for the downstream Breaker of a Substation's Transformer. For devices that are not Transformer Breakers, this column must be equal to N
•EnableCommunication: Column used to inform whether communication with a device must be enabled. The value S means that communication is enabled and the value N means that communication is disabled. This configuration can be useful in case of maintenance of a certain device inside a shared I/O Driver, where a failure may provoke cyclic delays to all other devices declared in the same Driver
•Parallelism: Indicates whether a device can close a momentary loop between Feeders, to transfer loads without interruption. The value S means that a device can close a momentary loop between two Feeders and the value N means that a device cannot close a momentary loop. This parameter's value must be defined by the operation and protection teams of the distribution company
•Adjust Protection Group: Indicates whether a device must have its adjustment group changed during the Self-Healing Module triggering. The value S means that a device executes an adjustment group command according to the configurations defined on the signal and upstream and downstream devices for each one of the possible three groups. The value N means that the Self-Healing Module does not change the adjustment group during the triggering
•Detect Current Fault: Indicates whether the Self-Healing Module must use the *ProtectionStart-type Measurement declared on folder Measurements of some *TimeOvercurrent-type Protection to identify a faulty block or not. This Measurement can be used on circuit-breaker devices, where an upstream Recloser may enter a lockout during the first trigger. The value S means that a device uses the *ProtectionStart Measurement to delimit the fault zone and the value N means that a device does not detect a passing current
