Abstract
Description
第1の実施形態の保護制御システムの構成について図1を用いて説明する。図1は、保護制御システム100の構成を示す図である。
次に、保護制御システム100を構成している、MU101および保護制御装置105~107の動作について図5乃至図7を用いて説明する。
・受信処理部306が、伝送処理部305からメイントリップ情報を取得し、トリップ指令出力部307がトリップ指令を出力するか否かを判断可能な形式に変換するステップ(S702)
・トリップ指令出力部307が、リレー演算部308により保持されたFDトリップ情報を取得するステップ(S703)
・トリップ指令出力部307が、受信処理部306から取得したメイントリップ情報、リレー演算部308から取得したFDトリップ情報、および制御ロジック構成に基づいて、遮断器を開放するか否かを判断するステップ(S704)。遮断器を開放しないと判断した場合(S704のNO)、フローを終了する。
従来の保護制御システムでは、保護制御装置夫々について、メインとFDを備えていたため、同一のプロセスバスに接続する保護制御装置の台数の2倍のリレーハードウェアが必要であるため、複雑な電力系統に適応される保護制御システムにおいては、ハードウェア量が増大し、コストを増加させる原因になっていた。しかし、本実施形態の保護制御システム100によれば、プロセスバス103に接続する保護制御装置105~107のFDの機能をMU101のリレー演算部308として備えることによって、ハードウェア量を削減できる。
第2の実施形態の保護制御システム100について図9を用いて説明するが、本実施形態が第1の実施形態と同一の構成には同一の符号を付し、説明は省略する。本実施形態の構成が第1の実施形態と異なる点は、MU102およびプロセスバス104をさらに備え、保護制御装置105~107が保護制御装置105-2~107-2に代替した点が異なる。
第3の実施形態の保護制御システム100について図11を用いて説明するが、本実施形態が第1の実施形態と同一の構成には同一の符号を付し、説明は省略する。本実施形態の構成が第1の実施形態と異なる点は、保護制御システム100はMU102およびプロセスバス104をさらに備え、保護制御装置105~107が保護制御装置105-3~107-3に代替した点が異なる。さらに、MU101とMU102がケーブル109により接続している。
