Ameren’s Protection and Coordination Settings Philosophies

Ameren Illinois’ philosophy is to fundamentally use the fault interrupter as a feeder mid-point protection device for fault isolation, coupled with a fault interrupter at a tie point to allow for quick and automatic system restorationSlide6

Ameren’s Protection and Coordination Settings Philosophies

6

Ameren Illinois Distribution Automation (DA) engineering group has standardized its protection and coordination settings philosophy for the mid-tie-mid

application.

To maintain the coordination of series devices that have the same protection settings, an advanced feature called the

PulseFinding

™ Fault Location Technique is

enabled.

We also elected to use Intelligent Fuse Savings on the fault

interrupters.Slide7

Ameren’s Protection and Coordination Settings Philosophies

7

Intelligent Fuse Savings automatically determines whether a fuse-saving “fast” trip should be used based on the fault-current magnitude.

At

high fault currents, a mechanical device cannot trip faster than a fuse will operate, so Intelligent Fuse Savings will avoid using the fast trip, thereby reducing momentary outages.

Ameren

engineering recommends enabling Intelligent Fuse Savings using a fuse-savings curve that matches the largest fuse size desirable to save downstream of the mid-point fault interrupter.

Choosing

the largest fuse to save should be based on the fuse size used most downstream of the fault interrupter and that serves the largest number of customers.Slide8

To drive consistency, DA engineering built a program that takes in data similar to the

information in the previous tables,

and the group automatically runs through the rules of calculating CTI. It then selects the standard recloser emulation, the optimal PulseFinding setting, and the Intelligent Fuse Savings curve. The program runs the above tasks for coordination in both directions

, draws a circuit diagram with the settings printed on it, and plots the TCC coordination curvesSlide11

Conclusions

 

Ameren Illinois has standardized on the S&C IntelliRupter PulseCloser Fault Interrupter for 12-kV distribution feeder-protection applications. The objective is to simplify the coordination and configuration of the distribution-system devices by using advanced features of the fault interrupter.  

The calculator tool created by the DA engineering group simplifies coordination for the typical mid-tie-mid application by automating and optimizing the protection settings. The real-life examples of faults on main lines and laterals demonstrate that single-phase tripping and Intelligent Fuse Savings features are improving customer service reliability. Ameren Illinois will continue to monitor the field events and look for opportunities to improve reliability of electricity service while simplifying and standardizing protection and coordination practices.Slide19
