Microprocessor-based monitoring and control project. Phase I report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6760203
This report summarizes the activities of Phase I of the Microprocessor-Based Monitoring and Control Project. This project is part of an ongoing effort in the Electrical Systems Group of TVA's Division of Energy Demonstrations and Technology (ED and T) to develop microprocessor-based systems for special-purpose applications in the monitoring of power system parameters and the control and protection of power system apparatus to improve power operations. The system presently configured receives its voltage and current signals from conventional potential and current transformers. However, under a separate project, ED and T will test and evaluate electro-optic and magneto-optic voltage and current sensors for eventual use with microprocessor-based systems. This report specifically describes the initial activities performed in configuring the microprocessor-based system to monitor and compute power system parameters at the Concord 161-kV Substation. In the next phase, the system will be expanded to simulate the switching of the 46-kV capacitor banks for voltage and reactive control at the substation.
