 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to express my utmost gratitude to the Director General of EFACEC

Central Europe -Ing .Cristóvão BENTO as well as Prof. dr. ing. Ion TRISTIU- for providing
opportunity to me to pursue the engineering training as a partial fulfilment of the requirement for the
degree of Bachelor of Engineering.

Through out this training, I am very fortune to be blessed with the guidance and
encouragement from my mentor, Ing . Daniel ENE for his guidance and thoughtful evaluation during
the course of this practicum. Without him, I would not have enjoyed working in such a flexible
environment as this.

1.3Training Outline and Environment

I have spent the major part of the period of training in the Sale -Marketing Department . More specifically, most
of my training was at the Design Solution base on requirement of customer, the supervisor of which is Eng.
Daniel ENE. I also learned with Eng. Adrian Aviazare at Technicial Department how to testing IEDs.
The plan topics which I learned are mainly the following :
• Understanding main function of numerical relay IEDs 430/500..
• Design Solution for Digital Automation Substation Control &Protection system
• Preparing tender document
• Testing IEDs

Chapter 2: Practical Training

2.1 Identifying Current Projects and Following up the Work
A first step in my training program is to become familiar with the work environment and how it flows. About
eight days at the beginning of the training period were spent on only monitoring how the staff around me works
and what they work on. In this stage, I could understand the general sequence (flow) of the design project and
development unit within it, which I depict in Figure 4.

2.2 Reading to Get Necessary Knowledge in Important Topics
For able to providing substation automation solutions and support for utility customers using the EFACEC
Substation Automation Products portfolio (relays, HMI, controls). A key element to this position is the ability to
understand customer issues and explain applications.
This is why I was told to read some importance topics before I can start. This took about three week and half of
training.
My reading was about some main subjects :
• EFACEC catalog- manual product devices ( Serie 500,430,220 IED, UC 500 ..)
• Offer Solution document (project was achieved )
• General Requirements document (offer by customer )
• Particular Technical Requirements (offer by customer)
• IEC 61850 system architectures

The Digital Substation

Firstly, one might ask “what is a digital substation?” and this will yield a variety of possible replies, as there is no standard
definition. Clearly as most substations today are switching and routing AC power at high/extra high voltage, it is not the primary flow which
is digital. This means that we are talking about the secondary systems, and all the protection, control, measurement, condition monitoring,
recording and supervisory systems associated with that primary “process’’.

7
Generic Architecture

The process level in the switchyard: Digital applications in the substation are based on a communicating
architecture, whereby real-time operational measurements are polled from the primary system. It is
communicated to devices which must act on those measurements by means of a “process bus.”
Control commands (switchgear operator commands, protection trips) also are routed to the primary devices via
the process bus, in the opposite direction.
The protection and control level (“smart substation area”): Between the process bus and the station bus are
devices historically identified as the “secondary equipment.” These devices are IEDs (intelligent electronic
devices), interacting with the field via the process bus, and with other peer devices in the bay, to other bays, and
the digital control system via the station bus.
The station control area: The Digital Control System is the intelligence which binds together the digital
substation. It is central to the flow, management and presentation of all components in the digital
substation. Wide area control units (WACU) offer the possibility to exchange IEC 61850 GOOSE data between
voltage levels within a substation and also between neighboring substations.
Digital Instrument Transformers and Process Bus Devices
The root of many of the limitations of conventional instrument transformers is the reliance upon an iron
core. Instead of an iron core, the translation from primary to secondary measurement may use optical,
Rogowski or capacitive technology

This figure below descried equiment for substaion controller cabinet( dulap SCADA in limba Romana), this
presentive for station control area of Digital substation Architecture.
For example : GPS Time Unit : The value of time synchronization is best seen by understanding that the power
grid is a single, complex and interconnected system. What happens in one part of the grid affects operation
elsewhere.
In order to provide GPS universal time reference for the overall system synchronisation ,one SNTP Severis
connected to the system’s LAN .The GPS receiver with respective antenna is connect to the SNTP( synchron
network time protocol ) Server

Exemple for Digital Substation Architecture is offered by EFACEC using Product portilio (TPU
420,UAC 420, UC 500… ) for Parke lake substation

 Chapter 3: Conclusions
In conclusion, I am well satisfied with my training. I have learned many new technical subjects,
acquired a number of new technical skills and improved another group of existing skills, other than
those gained at university . This refutes the common saying that very little of the materials taught in
university engineering courses is used by engineers working in the labor market. However, this does
not mean that I have learned little new things in my training.
Besides, I also can train myself to be good in attitude while doing my work. In addition, the
knowledge and engineer skills can be improved as when I was doing project .
It is very good to acquire such a large number of skills in training period. So, training at EFACEC
Central Europe can be said to be very valuable .
