A coordinated solution for the network wide circuit breaker synchronization using IEC 1

摘要

Synchronization of two live power networks has always been a challenge. Mostly this has been accomplished by manual operation. The problem becomes more severe when the number of circuit breakers to synchronize, power sources and the complexity of the electrical network increases. The IEC 1 communication standard is widely accepted and is now used extensively for realizing substation applications involving multiple protection and control devices. In this paper an intelligent solution for the automatic synchronization of the live power networks using IEC 1 is proposed.
