6 1.1 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR SEMs Technical Specification* 1.0 The energy metering system specified herein shall be used for tariff metering for bulk, inter-utility power flows, in different Regions of India. One static type composite meter shall be installed for each EHV circuit, as a self-contained device for measurement of active energy (MWh) transmittals in each successive 15 minute block and certain other functions, as described in the following paragraphs. 2.0 The meters shall be suitable for being connected directly to voltage transformers (VTs) having a rated secondary line-to-line voltage of 110V, and to current transformers (CTs) having a rated secondary current of 1 A (model-a) or 5A (model-b). Any further transformers/transactions/transducers required for their functioning shall be in-built in the meters. Necessary isolation and/or suppression shall also be built-in, for protecting the meters from surges and voltage spikes that occur in the VT and CT circuits of extra high voltage switchyards. The reference frequency shall be 50Hz. 3.0 The active energy (Wh) measurement shall be carried out on 3-phase, 4-wire principle, with an accuracy as per class 0.2 S of IEC (2 nd edition)/ IEC :2003. In model-a (for CT secondary rating 1A), the energy shall be computed directly in CT and VT secondary quantities, and indicated in watt-hours. The meter shall compute the net active energy (Wh) sent out from the substation bus bars during each successive 15-minutes block, and store it in its memory along with plus/minus sign. It shall also display on demand the net Wh sent out during the previous 15-minute block, with a minus sign if there is net Wh export. 4.0 Further, the meter shall continuously integrate and display on demand the net cumulative active energy sent out from the substation bus bars upto that time. The cumulative Wh reading at each midnight shall be stored in the meter s memory. The register shall move backwards when active power flows back to substation bus bars. 5.0 The meter shall count the number of cycles in VT output during each successive 15-minutes block, and divide the same by 900 to arrive at the average frequency. This shall be stored in the meter s memory as a 2-digit code which shall be arrived at by subtracting 49 from the average frequency, multiplying by 50 and neglecting all decimals. For example, Hz shall be recorded as 44. In case the average frequency is less than 49.0 Hz, it shall be recorded as 00. In case it is 51.0 Hz or higher, it shall be recorded as 99. The average frequency of the previous 15- minutes block shall also be displayed, on demand in hertz. * Note: This specification is applicable to the meters procured by POWERGRID in general,while the underlined items are the modifications carried out in the specification in respect of SEMs procured after SRLDC 1 SEMs IN SOUTHERN REGION

7 6.0 The meter shall continuously compute the average of the RMS values of the three line-to-neutral VT secondary voltages as a percentage of V, and display the same on demand. The accuracy of the voltage measurement/computation shall be atleast 0.5%, a better accuracy such as 0.2% in the % range being desirable. 7.0 The meter shall also compute the reactive power (VAR) on 3-phase, 4-wire principle, with an accuracy as specified in clause 11.0, and integrate the reactive energy (VARh) algebraically into two separate registers, one for the period for which the average RMS voltage is 103.0% or higher, and the other for the period for which the average RMS voltage is below 97.0%. The current reactive power (VAR), with a minus sign if negative, and cumulative reactive energy (VARh) readings of the two registers shall be displayed on demand. The readings of the two registers at each midnight shall also be stored in the meter s memory. In model-a (for CT secondary rating of 1 A), the reactive power and reactive energy transmittals shall be computed in VAR/VARh directly calculated in CT and VT secondary quantities. When lagging reactive power is being sent out from substation bus bars, VAR display shall have a plus sign or no sign and VARh registers shall move forward. When reactive power flow is in the reverse direction, VAR display shall have negative sign and VARh registers shall move backwards. 8.0 In the model-b (for CT secondary rating of 5A), all computations, displays and memory storage shall be similar except that all figures shall be one fifth of the actual Wh, VAR and VARh worked out from CT and VT secondary quantities. 9.0 The meters shall fully comply with all stipulations in IEC standards (2 nd edition)/ :2003 and :2003, except those specifically modified by this specification. The reference ambient temperature shall be 30 C Errors shall be reasonable for all power factor angles from 0 to For reactive power (VAR) and reactive energy (VARh) measurements, IEC/145 / IEC :2003 shall be complied with. The accuracy of measurement of reactive energy shall be as per class Each meter shall have a test output device (visual) for checking the accuracy of active energy (Wh) measurement.

However, the Regulations published on 17 th March 2006 by CEA for regulating the Installation and Operation of Meters specify the location of meters (item 7) as follows: Quote: The location of interface meters, consumer meters and energy accounting and audit meters shall be as per the Table given below: Provided that the generating companies or licensees may install meters at additional locations in their systems depending upon the requirement. Sl. No Stages A. Generating Station TABLE Main Meter On all outgoing feeders Check Meter On all outgoing feeders Standby Meter (i) High Voltage (HV) side of Generator Transformers (ii) High Voltage (HV) side of all Station Auxiliary Transformers SRLDC 10 SEMs IN SOUTHERN REGION

Transmission and Distribution System C. Inter- Connecting Transformer (ICT) D. Consumer directly connected to the Inter-State Transmission System or Intra-State Transmission System who have to be covered under ABT and have been permitted open access by the Appropriate Commission or Any other system not covered above. Unquote At one end of the line between the substations of the same licensee, and both ends of the line between substations of two different licensees. Meters at both ends shall be considered as main meters for respective licensees. High Voltage (HV) side of ICT As decided by the Appropriate Commission. Sign convention of Active and Reactive energy recorded (i) For SEMs on all locations except GTs at Generating station. There shall be no separate standby meter. Meter installed at other end of the line in case of two different licensees shall work as standby meter. Low Voltage (LV) side of ICT When energy (active/reactive) flows out of the bus to which the SEM is connected, the energy is recorded with a + sign and vice versa. SRLDC 11 SEMs IN SOUTHERN REGION

17 (ii) For SEMs on GTs at Generating Stations When energy (active/reactive) flows into the bus to which the SEM is connected, the energy is recorded with a + sign and vice versa. Accordingly the values in the cumulative registers for active energy and reactive energy keep incrementing when the net energy for a particular time period recorded is +ve and decrementing when it is -ve. For example if the initial value of these registers is (say) and the net energy in a block is 25.0 (say), the cumulative value of the register increments to Once the value reaches , the same will get reset to Details of Data recorded : No multiplication Factor is incorporated in the Meter. Hence data in Secondary side (Wh) is recorded. Meter can be interchanged from one location to another irrespective of their CT/PT ratios To get data on Primary side in MWh, the secondary side data in Wh is to be multiplied by the connected CT/PT ratio. Stores the following data for previous 9 days and the current day period (in case of SMLOLD meters) and previous 10 days and current day period (in case of SMLNEW and L&T meters). Data recorded in every Block : Net Active Energy in 15 min. Time blocks (Wh) Average frequency in 15 min.

19 1.3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SEMs AND DCDs 1) SEMs Data Collection Every Monday morning data is to be collected using a Data Collecting Device (DCD), a small hand held unit though an Optical Coupler Cable The same is used to dump the SEM data into a PC using a Serial Port Communication Cable with the help of a manufacturer supplied software. The text form of the data is to be created through this software and is to be checked for proper format and syntactic correctness. Voltage failure flags (*) are to be correlated with PT supply failures due to feeder shutdowns / Blown fuse, Switching operations etc. Time Correction flags (aa/rr) are to be correlated with the Time Advance/Retard commands given through DCD. After all the above checks, the binary coded file (*.MRI in case of SML meters or *.DCD and *.DAT in case of L&T meters as the case may be) is to be transmitted to SRLDC through e- mail The reasons for Voltage Failure flags shall be intimated to SRLDC for incorporating necessary adjustments for under recording. Time correction flags shall also be intimated so that the same can be analysed further. The data along with above information and site observations shall be ed to sem@srldc.org., sreasem@vsnl.com, sreasem@hotmail.com, and sreasem@gmail.com 2) Data collection in case of feeder outage In case the feeder is in out of service condition the meter will not communicate with DCD as the power supply to the meter will not be available. In such cases for enabling data collection a single phase supply of 63.5V may be extended between any of the phase and neutral points of the voltage terminal of the meter through a means like Variac or any such transformer which gives the required output. While doing this, permission may be obtained from local operational staff and due care may be taken to effect necessary isolations like removal of PT fuse or corresponding PT input wiring to the meter etc. SRLDC 14 SEMs IN SOUTHERN REGION

20 In case of L&T meters a battery back up button is provided for data collection during the feeder outage conditions. The same may be kept pressed and data shall be collected. This button is to be sparingly used to conserve the battery back-up and is to be kept pressed while data collection is going on 3) Periodical Checks : SEMs Special energy meter may be periodically checked for any low voltage LED indication. If the LED becomes steady, it indicates the average voltage falling below 70%. PT inputs may be checked for any blown fuse etc. The push button display on the front panel may be made use of, for periodical checking of various parameters measured by the meter Time Drift checking Since the data recorded by SEM is time stamped (15 min. block data), it is very important to maintain the time of the meter, as it is prone to drift due to inherent variation of parameters like temperature, humidity etc. The time of the meter (Real Time Clock) as shown on the display panel of the SEM may be periodically checked for its correctness with respect to GPS/AIR time. When the time drift is more than 1 minute, necessary correction through the DCD may be carried out. It may be noted that time correction through DCD can be done by only 1 minute in a week and if the drift is more than 2 minutes, correction may be carried out in successive weeks. Due care may be taken regarding the type of correction i.e. ADVANCE or RETARD depending on whether the meter is SLOW or FAST. All the sites have to send monthly reports on the time drift of the SEMs as on the 1 st Monday of the month and also the Time corrections carried out during the month. DCDs Manual for DCD shall be thoroughly studied to ensure proper operation of DCD. DCD may be carefully handled and preserved in a suitable cover, when not in use. Healthiness of Data Collecting Device (DCD) and associated cables, accessories like charger, battery etc. shall be maintained to avoid last minute emergencies. It is preferred to use a fully charged battery with the DCD before data collection. In case of Analogic DCDs, the DCD may be kept in charged condition for at least 24 hours before data collection. SRLDC 15 SEMs IN SOUTHERN REGION

21 4) Special precautions SEMs i) Never keep the SEM in De-energised condition for long durations, to avoid drain on the internal battery. In case of spare meters, the SEM may be kept in charged condition by extending the supply to the voltage terminals. ii) iii) iv) Never leave the optical window uncovered. Otherwise entry of dust particles on the window glass may result in problems in data collection because of improper communication of DCD with the meter. Never remove the optical cable from the meter while data collection is in progress. Doing so may result in hanging of the internal processor because the same would be in handshaking mode with the DCD till the data collection process is completed. Never subject the meter to extreme climatic conditions. It may be suitably guarded in a safe panel free from dust and water ingression. DCDs i) Never use a non-chargeable/disposable Battery cell in the DCD as it is prone to improper drain characteristics. ii) iii) Never fold the optical cable used for data collection or data dumping cable as this may result in cutting of the internal strands or opening of the soldered joints. Never leave the Analogic DCDs (supplied with L&T and SML new meters) in uncharged condition for a long time as it may result in corruption of the internal software. SRLDC 16 SEMs IN SOUTHERN REGION

22 1.4 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE A software provided by the meter manufacturer is required to be installed in the PC where SEM data is to be dumped.
