SIPC

INTEGRATED PROTECTION AND CONTROL SYSTEM

The Integrated Protection and Control System (SIPC) is Ingeteam´s T&D answer to integrated automation of electrical substations to meet the particular needs of each installation and customer. It provides the most economic solution, either through redundant system for EHV and HV substations, or by sharing resources with protection equipment and eliminating the console when installing distribution and/or transformation centres.

The main aim of SIPC is to optimise the installation's available resources by applying the following concepts:

• One set per position.     
• A single multifunctional system.             
• A single interface per substation.           
• A flexible modular system.        
• A secure system.          
• An open system.

One set per position.

• Information collection close to where it is generated, resulting in a considerable saving in wiring.
• A single position terminal is used to perform all protection, control, supervision, automation functions and communication tasks, making it possible to dispense with a large quantity of auxiliary items and equipment.

A single multifunctional system.

Direct availability of information from protections, measurement converters, counters and other substation equipment with no need for additional external wiring.

A single interface per substation.

• Centralisation within a single system, of management an transmission information collected and generated by all IED´s (events, alarms, fault reports, oscillography records, measurements, etc) to other hierarchical levels with no need for other auxiliary equipment or systems.
• RTU (Remote Telecontrol Unit) function with capacity for multiple telecontrol emulation.
• Multiple local and/or remote consoles are accepted (maintenance centres, technical protections offices,…)

A flexible modular system.

• The use of different plug-in modules, enables the system to be adapted to any type of substation.
• Powerful software tools are available to set up substation databases, design graphic supervision and control consoles, generate operating and maintenance histories and program automatic devices.

A secure system.

• The protection and control modules are totally independent, ensuring there is no interference between them.
• Optional redundancy in power supply modules, UCS and communication links.
• Self-diagnosis system, automatic failure detection and internal failure alarm generation.

An open system.

• The SIPC is an open system that can be integrated into and/or incorporate equipment and/or systems from other manufacturers by emulating the protocols that are most common in Telecontrol/SCADA and IED´s.
• Multipoint topology between UCS and IED´s (TCP´s, protections, measuring units, and other IED´s): optical hub.
• Emulation of a large number of Telecontrol/SCADA protocols.
• Time synchronization via GPS or Telecontrol/SCADA.
