Professional Embedded Substation Automation Applications

In addition to the largest SCADA protocol library in the industry, and IEC® 61131-3 compliant user programmable PLC type logic, GE Substation Controllers boast a large library of predefined, professional automation applications. This library contains dedicated applications that are easier to use and maintain then similar user programmable logic based solutions.

Our existing library covers a wide range of areas including:

• Generation, Transmission and Feeder Bay Automation
  

  For example
  -		Automatic Voltage Control
  -		Breaker Failure Detection
  -		Synchronism
  -		Tap Position Indication

• Distribution Automation
  

  For example
  -		Load and Dead Bus Transfer
  -		Load Shedding/Curtailment
  -		Distribution Capacitor Control Algorithm

• Advanced AC Monitoring Applications
  

  For example
  -		AC Analog Alarming
  -		Digital Fault Recording
  -		Power Quality

• Communication Services
  

  For example
  -		Communication Watchdog
  -		Substation Maintenance Mode
  -		Virtual Terminal

• Data Logging and Storage
• Data Reduction and Summarization
• Data Format Conversion
• And many more

In addition to our existing automation applications library, GE Energy is able to convert user-programmed algorithms from PLC logic to dedicated applications when usability and maintainability cost savings warrant.

User Programmable Logic

LogicLinx powerful user programmable logic is IEC61131-3 compliant with a Windows based editor and multiple PLC programming language support. Ladder logic, block diagrams, and structured text are all supported.

Calculator application provides real-time, event driven automation for simple applications like interlocking or map board control without the need for full-blown PLC logic.
