worked in the Energy Management division (Business Unit: Digital Grid) for the project
aimed at implementation of Wireless Transmission of Data.
Being a well established company, SIEMENS offered me a wide range of departments to hone
my skills in, and below lies the summary of the contributions I made as an intern to the
departments of Energy Management.
INTRODUCTION
EPRI had been working with member utilities to improve the cost benefit ratio for on -line
monitoring and diagnostics in transmission substation applications. Wireless RF sensors and
communications are on the list of candidate technologies offering the potential for cost
savings by circumventing the need for traditional cabling. Avoided cable installation saves
utilities the associated costs of meeting environmental requirements and conducting testing
required prior to installation of new cables in existing substations. Investigators developed a
specification for a wireless system. They next tested new RF sensors and communications
devices with built-in networking capabilities in monitoring applications developed
specifically for transmission substations. In this case, they selected a monitoring system for
circuit breakers in a 345-kV transmission substation owned by Consolidated Edison Company
of New York (ConEd) as a test application. They also developed a universal transmitter and
made a general comparison of several wireless technologies .

Wireless Communication, is the transfer of information or power between two or more points
that are not connected by an electrical conductor. The most common wireless technologies
use radio waves. With radio waves distances can be short, such as a few meters
for Bluetooth or as far as millions of kilometres for deep-space radio communications.
Wireless operations permit services, such as long-range communications, that are impossible
or impractical to implement with the use of wires. The term is commonly used in
the telecommunications industry to refer to telecommunications systems (e.g. radio
transmitters and receivers, remote controls, etc.) which use some form of energy (e.g. radio
waves, acoustic energy,) to transfer information without the use of wires. Information is
transferred in this manner over both short and long distances
The reliable management of power supply systems and its development has witnessed a rapid
growth in the demand for communications.
The following list indicates some basic advantages of using a wireless system over a cabled
system in substation applications:
• Portability/mobility
• Extend range and flexibility of data acquisition and I/O (configurations and locations).
Smart Grid facilitates efficient and reliable end-to-end intelligent two-way delivery system
from source to sink through integration of renewable energy sources, smart transmission and
distribution. In this way Smart Grid technology shall bring efficiency and sustainability in
meeting the growing electricity demand with reliability and best of the quality.
Smart Grid also enables real time monitoring and control of power system as well as helps in
reduction of AT&C losses, demand response and demand side management, power quality
management, outage management, smart home energy system etc. Smart Grid will act as a
backbone infrastructure to enable new business models like smart city, electric vehicles, s mart
communities apart from more resilient and efficient energy system and tariff structures.
Recognizing the importance, various firms have taken pioneering steps in bringing Smart Grid
technology to all facets of power supply value chain.
SICAM PAS (Power Automation System) meets all the demands placed on a distributed
substation control system – both now and in the future. Amongst many other standardized
communication protocols, SICAM PAS particularly supports the IEC 61850 standard for
communication between substations and IEDs. SICAM PAS is an open system and – in
addition to standardized data Transfer processes – it Features user interfaces for the
integration of system-specific tasks and offers multiple automation options. SICAM PAS can
thus be easily included in existing systems and used for system integration, too.
The substation is the node in the electrical power network. Funct ions of substation are control
and monitoring of the switch yard, recording, protection of the power equipment, revenue
metering and automation functions for energy management and assert management.
Conventional substation is composed with interlocking logic, RTU (Remote Terminal Unit),
Relays, conventional switchgear and CT/PT (current/potential transformers). Each component
is hardwired connected with parallel Cu wires.
Modern substation automation is structured in three basic levels. The station level provides an
overview across the whole station and is located in a shielded control room. Station level

It provides perfect protection, smallest space reliable and flexible protection for energy
distribution and industrial systems with minimum space requirements. The devices of the
SIPROTEC Compact family offer an extensive variety of functions in a compact and thus
space-saving ¹⁄₆ x 19" housing. The devices can be used as main protection in medium-voltage
applications or as back-up protection in high-voltage systems.
3.2.1 OVERCURRENT:
An over current exists when current exceeds the rating of conductors or equipment. It can
result from overload, short circuit, or ground fault.
A short circuit is the unintentional electrical connection between any two normally current -
carrying conductors of a circuit (line-to-line or line-to-neutral).
The SIPROTEC 7SJ6 series relays can be used for line protection of high and medium voltage
networks with earthed (grounded), low-resistance grounded, isolated or compensated neutral
point. When protecting motors, the SIPROTEC 7SJ6 is suitable for asynchronous machines of
all sizes. The relay performs all functions of backup protection supplementary to transformer
differential protection. The relay provides control of the circuit -breaker, further switching
devices and automation functions. The integrated programmable logic (CFC) al lows the user
to implement their own functions, e. g. for the automation of switchgear (interlocking). The
user is also allowed to generate user-defined indications. The flexible communication
interfaces are open for modern communication architectures with control systems.
1. Protection functions
• Inrush-current detection
• Overload protection
• Temperature monitoring
• Negative-sequence protection
3. Monitoring functions
• Slave pointer
• Motor statistics
APPLICATION
The SIPROTEC 7SJ6 unit is a numerical protection relay that also performs control and
monitoring functions and therefore supports the user in cost-effective power system
management, and ensures reliable supply of electric power to the customers. Local operation
has been designed according to ergonomic criteria. A large, easy-to-read display was a major
design aim.
Since the impedance of a transmission line is proportional to its length, for distance
measurement it is appropriate to use a relay capable of measuring the impedance of a line up
to a predetermined point (the reach point).Such a relay is described as a distance relay and
The basic principle of distance protection involves the division of the voltage at the relaying
point by the measured current. The apparent impedance so calculated is compared with the
reach point impedance. If the measured impedance is less than the reach point impedance, it is
assumed that a fault exists on the line between the relay and the reach point.
The reach point of a relay is the point along the line impedance locus that is intersected by the
boundary characteristic of the relay.
Since this is dependent on the ratio of voltage and current and the phase angle between them, it
may be plotted on an R/X diagram. The loci of power system impedances as seen by the relay
during faults, power swings and load variations may be plotted on the same diagram and in this
manner the performance of the relay in the presence of system faults and disturbances may be
studied.
The 7SA522 relay provides full-scheme distance protection and incorporates all functions
usually required for the protection of a power line. The relay is designed to provide fast and
The 7SA6 contains a number of overvoltage measuring elements. Each measuring element is
of two-stage design. The following measuring elements are available:
• Phase-to-ground overvoltage
• Phase-to-phase overvoltage
• Zero-sequence overvoltage
• Positive-sequence overvoltage of the local end or calculated for the remote end of the line
(compounding)
Frequency protection can be used for over frequency and under frequency protection.
Unwanted frequency changes in the network can be detected and the load can be removed at a
specified frequency setting. Frequency protection can be used over a wide frequency range
(45 to 55, 55 to 65 Hz). There are four elements (selectable as over frequency or under
frequency) and each element can be delayed separately.
APPLICATION
The 7SA522 relay provides full-scheme distance protection and incorporates all functions
usually required for the protection of a power line. The relay is designed to provide fast and
selective fault clearance on transmission and sub transmission cables and overhead lines with
or without series capacitor compensation. This contributes towards improved stability and
availability of your electrical power transmission system. The power system star point can be
solid or impedance
grounded (earthed), resonant-grounded via Peterson coil or isolated. The 7SA522 is suitable
for single and three-pole tripping applications with and without tele (pilot) protection
schemes.
Differential relay is the most important and widely used for the protection of Transformers,
generator-Transformer unit, Bus Bars, Feeders and heavy Motors etc in electrical power
system the ANSI code of Differential relay is87.
As the name shows Differential mean it works on the principle of comparison between two
quantities, which checks every time the phase difference between incoming quantity and
outgoing quantity if difference between these two quantities exceeds the phase difference of
relay pick up level then the Differential relay will operate to protect the unit and Differential
relay isolate the unit from the faulty zone.
A differential relay is defined as the relay that operates when the phase difference of two or
more identical electrical quantities exceeds a predetermined amount. The differential relay
works on the principle of comparison between the phase angle and magn itude of two or more
For the operation of the differential relay, it should have two or more electrical quantities, and
these quantities should have a phase displacement (normally approximately 180). Any types
of the relay can operate as a differential relay depends on upon the way it is connected in a
circuit. In other words, it doesn‘t depend on the construction of the relay it depends on the
way it is connected to the circuit.
The 7SD52/53 relay provides full scheme differential protection and incorporates all functions
usually required for the protection of power lines. It is designed for all power and distribution
levels and protects lines with two up to six line ends. The relay is designed to provide high-
speed and phase-selective fault clearance. The relay uses fibre-optic cables or digital
communication networks to exchange telegrams and includes special features for the use in
The relay is suitable for single and three-phase tripping applications for two up to six line
ends. Also, transformers and compensation coils within the differential protection zone are
protected as are serial and parallel-compensated lines and cables. The relays may be employed
with any type of system earthing. The relay also provides a full-scheme and non-switched
distance protection as an optional main 2 protection. Several tele-protection schemes ensure
maximum selectivity and high-speed tripping time.

APPLICATION
SIPROTEC 7SD52/53 is a full-scheme differential protection relay for two up to six line ends,
incorporating all the additional functions for protection of overhead lines and cables at all
voltage levels. Also transformers and compensation coils within the protection zone are
protected. The 7SD52/53 is suitable for single-pole and three-pole tripping. The power system
star point can be solid or impedance-grounded (earthed), resonant-earthed via Peterson coil or
isolated.
The SIPROTEC 7UT6 differential protection relays are used for fast and selective fault
clearing of short-circuits in transformers of all voltage levels and also in rotating electric
machines like motors and generators, for short lines and bus bars.
The protection relay can be parameterized for use with three-phase and single-phase
transformers.
In addition to the differential function, a backup over current protection for 1 winding/star
point is integrated in the relay. Optionally, a low or high-impedance restricted earth-fault
protection, a negative sequence protection and a breaker failure protection can be used.
7UT613 and 7UT633 feature 4 voltage inputs. With this option an overvoltage and under
voltage protection is available as well as frequency protection, reverse / forward power
protection, fuse failure monitor and over excitation protection. With external temperature
monitoring boxes (thermo-boxes) temperatures can be measured and monitored in the relay.
Therefore, complete thermal monitoring of a transformer is possible, e.g. hot -spot calculation
of the oil temperature.

INDUSTRY
The digital technology that allows for two-way communication between the utility and its
customers, and the sensing along the transmission lines is what makes the grid smart. Like the
Internet, the Smart Grid will consist of controls, computers, automation, and new technologies
and equipment working together, but in this case, these technologies will work with the
electrical grid to respond digitally to our quickly changing electric demand.
The benefits associated with the Smart Grid or the digital grids include:
Reduced operations and management costs for utilities, and ultimately lower power c osts
for consumers
Reduced peak demand, which will also help lower electricity rates
Improved security
Today, an electricity disruption such as a blackout can have a domino effect —a series of
failures that can affect banking, communications, traffic, and security. This is a particular
threat in the winter, when homeowners can be left without heat. A smarter grid will add
resiliency to our electric power System and make it better prepared to address emergencies
such as severe storms, earthquakes, large solar flares, and terrorist attacks. Because of its two -
way interactive capacity, the Smart Grid will allow for automatic rerouting when equipment
fails or outages occur. This will minimize outages and minimize the effects when they do
happen. When a power outage occurs, Smart Grid technologies will detect and isolate the
outages, containing them before they become large-scale blackouts. The new technologies
will also help ensure that electricity recovery resumes quickly and strategically after
emergency — routing electricity to emergency services first, for example. In addition, the
Smart Grid will take greater advantage of customer-owned power generators to produce
power when it is not available from utilities. By combining these "distributed generation"
resources, a community could keep its health centre, police department, traffic lights, phone
System, and grocery store operating during emergencies. In addition, the Smart Grid is a way
to address an aging energy infrastructure that needs to be upgraded or replaced. It‘s a way to
address energy efficiency, to bring increased awareness to consumers about the connection
between electricity use and the environment. And it‘s a way to bring increased national
security to our energy System—drawing on greater amounts of home-grown electricity that is
more resistant to natural disasters and attack.
The Smart Grid is not just about utilities and technologies; it is about giving you the
information and tools you need to make choices about your energy use. If you already manage
have to wait for your monthly statement to know how much electricity you use. With a
smarter grid, you can have a clear and timely picture of it. "Smart meters," and other
mechanisms, will allow you to see how much electricity you use, when you use it, and its
cost. Combined with real-time pricing, this will allow you to save money by using less power
when electricity is most expensive. While the potential benefits of the Smart Grid are usually
discussed in terms of economics, national security, and renewable energy goals, the Smart
Grid has the potential to help you save money by helping you to manage your electricity use
and choose the best times to purchase electricity. And you can save even more by generating
your own power .

ABB is synchronizing technologies for reliable power. Built on the international standard IEC
61850, ABB‘s world-leading digital substations achieve new heights in reliability,
interoperability and real-time performance. The digital substation can save lives, while
bridging the gap between the equipment of the process bus level and the station level.
The entire task was carried out to address the problem of electrical losses which happen
between the transfer of current and voltage from the control centre to the switchyard and vice
versa. A lot of expense is inculcated while making use of Ethernet cables and Ethernet
switches. More importantly the redundant network has been made much more reliable via
omitting the wired transmission of electrical quantities. Another major advantage of wireless
transmission is the omission of cable scheduling. A lot of investment is being done in terms of
time and labour to organize the working and labelling of cables. Thus with the adoption of
wireless based technology this major difficulty shall overcome.
Overall the Wireless Transmission of Data offers much more reliability, a better redundant
network, a less expensive protection system and much more secured option

be strictly adhered to. To avoid human error and to introduce regular checks, standardization
is a MUST and planning is necessary. The Engineering Manual being issued contains
Systems, methods and standards as relevant to present day operations in Engineering. The
manual shall be further revised from time to time to reflect improvisation, further
standardization and better alignment with manufacturing.
February 2018- We started with the drawing of various bus bar arrangements on AUTOCAD
along with the study on the present ways of transferring data through IEC 61850 protocol and
Ethernet cables so that a better and more reliable mode of data transmission could be
proposed. I visited the DEMO LAB to understand the basic wiring of panels and RTU
(Remote Terminal Unit).
March 2018- I started learning to work with Tinker cad (supported by Autodesk), which was
equivalent to working with ARDUINO UNO. But on a later stage of the project, we realized
that the wifi module was missing in the software. So eventually we had to change the
simulation medium. A lot of simulators like FRITZING, PROTEUS etc were worked upon.
Finally hardware based project was decided.
April 2018- With adequate background to implement the wireless transmission of data, this
month was used to develop the project on NODEMCU. Coding was learnt on arduino
background. Use of BLYNK App was learnt.
In the picture the basic connection of protection relay has been shown. The secondary of
current transformer is connected to the current coil of relay. And secondary of voltage
transformer is connected to the voltage coil of the relay.
SWITCHGEAR
Consists of mainly bulk oil circuit breaker, minimum oil circuit breaker, SF6 circuit breaker,
air blast circuit breaker and vacuum circuit breaker etc. Different operating mechanisms such
as solenoid, spring, pneumatic, hydraulic etc. are employed in the circuit breaker. Circuit
breaker is the main part of protection system in power system and it automatically isolate the
faulty portion of the system by opening its contacts.
PROTECTIVE GEAR
Consists of mainly power system protection relays like current relays, voltage relays,
impedance relays, power relays, frequency relays, etc. based on operating parameter, definite
time relays, inverse time relays, stepped relays etc. as per operating characteristic, logic wise
such as differential relays, over fluxing relays etc. During fault the protection relay gives trip
signal to the associated circuit breaker for opening its contacts.
STATION BATTERY
All the circuit breakers of electrical power system are DC (Direct Current) operated. Because
DC power can be stored in battery and if situation comes when total failure of incoming
power occurs, still the circuit breakers can be operated for restoring the situation by the power
of storage station battery. Hence, the battery is another essential item of the power system.
Some time it is referred as the heart of the electrical substation.
There are different contacts connected in series along a trip circuit of an electrical circuit
breaker. There must be some situation when the circuit breaker should not trip even a faulty
current passes through its power contacts. Such situations are low gas pressure in SF6 circuit
breaker, low air pressure in pneumatic operated circuit breaker etc. In this situation the trip
coil of the CB must not be energized to trip the CB. So there must be NO contacts associated
with gas pressure and air pressure relays, connected in series with breaker trip coil. Another
scheme of trip coil is that it should not be re energized once the circuit breaker is opened.
That is done by providing one NO contact of breaker auxiliary switch in series with trip coil.
In addition to that the trip circuit of a CB has to pass through considerable numbers of
intermediate terminal contacts in relay, control panel and circuit breaker kiosk.
So if any of the intermediate contacts is detached, the circuit breaker fails to trip. Not only
that, if DC supply to the trip circuit fails, the CB will not trip. To overcome this abnormal
situation, trip circuit supervision becomes very necessary. The figure below shows the
simplest form of trip circuit healthy scheme. Here a series combination of one lamp, one push
bottom and one resistor is connected across the protective relay contact as shown. In healthy
situation all the contacts except protective relay contact are in close position. Now if push
bottom (PB) is pressed, the trip circuit supervision network is completed and lamp glows
indicating that the breaker is ready for tripping.
The above scheme is for supervision while circuit breaker is closed. This scheme is called
post close supervision. There is another supervision scheme which is called pre and post close
supervision. This trip circuit supervision scheme is also quite simple. The only difference is
that here in this scheme, one NC contact of same auxiliary switch is connected across the
auxiliary NO contact of the trip circuit. The auxiliary NO contact is closed when CB is closed
and auxiliary NC contact is closed when CB is open and vice versa. Hence, as shown in the
figure below when the circuit breaker is closed the trip circuit supervision network is
completed via auxiliary NO contact but when the circuit breaker is open the same supervision
network is completed via NC contact.
The resistor is used series with the lamp for preventing unwanted tripping of circuit breaker
due to internal short circuit caused by failure of the lamp.
So far whatever we have discussed it is only for locally controlled installation but for a
distance control installation, relay system is necessary. The figure below shows the trip circuit
supervision scheme wherever a remote signal is required.
When trip circuit is healthy and circuit breaker is closed, relay A is energized which closes
the NO contact A 1 and hence relay C is energized. Energized relay C keeps NC contact in
open position. Now if the circuit breaker is open, relay B is energized which closes No
contact B 1 hence relay C is energized. As C is energized, it keeps the NC contact C 1 in open
position. While CB is closed, if there is any discontinuity in the trip circuit relay A is de-
energized which opens contact A 1 and consequently relay C is de-energized and which make
the NC contact C 1 in close position and hence alarm circuit is actuated.
Substation data communication system plays a critical role in the real time mission critical
operation of substation automation system. All secondary equipment within a substation is
interlinked with communication buses. In conventional substation, legacy communication
devices typically relied on one-way communication. Serial communication buses or
proprietary communication media with associated protocols are used for local HMI, as well as
for remote SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) communication. Modern
communication in substation is data transmission inside and between station level, bay level
and process level. The data information includes control, report; log GOOSE, SV, etc.
Communication within one level is horizontal communication. In station levels, the time
based data from multiple bays or substation level database will be analyzed and processed.
The control commands for the primary equipment (e.g. circuit breakers) will be submitted and
data like voltage, current and power factor will be collected.
Communication networks in substations will often have lower-level data link, physical layer
protocols and multiple application layer protocols running ―on top of‖ TCP/IP.
In the past and present, there are over 50 communication protocols for legacy substation
automation systems. These include Modbus TCP, ProfiNet, Ethernet IP, OPC-DA, and LON
for example. Many of these topologies are vendor specified and have serial interface, low
bandwidth, limited network devices, serial interfaces and inflexible data, etc. Their
communication architecture does not fit to the corporate communication technology and are
not able to expend the network. Most representative protocols are DNP3 and IEC 6 0870-5-
104. Both of them are master/slave based field bus communication and can only be
implemented till station level and bay level.
• When feeders are considered, PLC is well-suited, because it is a medium that is available
throughout the distribution system. PLC has potential to transmit data at a maximum rate of
11 Kbit/s; when the PLC has sufficient robustness and reliability, this maximum data rate can
be achieved only in a narrow frequency range of 9-95 kHz. This low rate of communication is
not ideal for secure communication. Therefore, if more information has to be sent from all the
components in a feeder, higher bandwidth is required.
Wireless communication will transfer the information over a long distance without the use of
electrical conductors or wire. It provides more flexibility than wire based means of
communication and continues to play a significant role in the modernization of the electric
power system. Examples of modernization efforts related to increased communications in the
electric power system to improve reliability and efficiency. Accurate location and prediction
of T & D disturbances and failures are still in early stage of development. More reliable
approach can be developed by improving communication infrastructure; this would results in
better asset management. Wireless technologies have significant benefits over wired, such as
improved protection, control, speed outage restoration, substation monitoring and
management, power system operation analysis, maintenance, planning and also have low
installation and maintenance cost, rapid deployment, mobility, etc. Several activities are going
on in many areas of power system using this technology. Interference in the presence of
buildings and trees is the disadvantage of wireless communication which could result in
multi-path; using improved receivers and directional antennas can overcome this drawback,
which will increase the cost. Another problem is security issues. This can overcome by using
secure protocol, encryption and decryption technologies
The IEC 61850 protocol standard for substation enables the integration of all protection,
control, measurement and monitoring functions by one common protocol. It provides the
means of high-speed substation applications, station wide interlocking and other functions
which needs intercommunication between IEDs. The well described data modelling, the
specified communication services for the most recent tasks in a station makes the standard to
a key element in modern substation systems.
IEC 61850 is a standard for communication networks and systems for power utility
automation and is being produced by IEC Technical Committee 57 Working Groups 10.
Compare to DNP3 or IEC 60870-5-104, IEC 61850 is not only another way of providing the
same functions as a traditional SCADA protocol, it also provides information modes,
configuration languages and abstract services in substation communication.
• It translates all in the information in the real substation into information models in the form
of standard naming conventions structures and formats for easy information management.
• It provides Abstract Communication Service Interface (ACSI) and makes it possible for
applications and databases to be unchanged with changes in the communication protocols and
media.
• It provides communication protocols of TCP/IP based SCADA, real time Generic Object
Orientated Substation Event (GOOSE) and Generic Substation Status Event (GSSE) and real
time sample measured value (SMV). GOOSEs support system protection applications and run
directly over Ethernet.
• It defines process bus which is supported by GOOSE and can minimize substation wiring
requirements in the yard by converting data of CTs/PTs to digital information.
IEC 61850 is the comprehensive standard for all communication functions in utility
applications. It is non-proprietary technology with multiple vendors and
provides inter- operability between devices and application functions through standardized
data models and information exchange. It realizes a highly flexible configuration of
communication networks and can greatly simplify substation automation architecture,
optimize the selection of devices for curtain application and increase efficiency.
IEC 61850 is a future proof standard for safe investment. By implementing IEC 61850, the
application model and communication stack can be separate. The applications can be modified
and extended without changing of the communication stack. It meets utilities‘ requirements to
combine products from a variety of manufactures for long term system exchangeability of
equipment and expandability.
While copper cabling is quite cheap and easy to use, copper covers only a limited distance of
a maximum 100 meters. Copper is also much more sensitive to EMI (electro-magnetic
interference) than fibre. Because of EMI, all Ethernet connections outside a cabinet and in
EMC sensitive environments should be made using fibre optics. Copper links should be used
only inside a cabinet or inside a building, while the cable length should be limited to 25
meters so it has an additional noise margin.
Copper connections for Gigabit Ethernet are not recommended because of long link set -up
times and lower noise margins.
For copper connections, CAT5e cables should be used at the least, CAT6 cable is even better.
Twisted pair cables should always be shielded. While Fast Ethernet needs only 2 pairs of
wires, Gigabit Ethernet requires 4 pairs. If for any reason the use of Gigabit Ethernet over
copper is a future possibility, 4 pairs of cables can be installed. Only direct cable should be
used, the auto-polarity function of the devices will automatically connect sender to receiver
pairs.
All fibre connections should be operated at an optical wavelength of 1.300 nm, which means
100BaseFX standard for Fast Ethernet and 1000BaseLX standard for Gigabit Ethernet.
Setup of own private wireless networks (e.g., wireless mesh, private Enterprise -Wi MAX /
LTE, or UHF Evolution), when spectrum is available at reasonable prices or local
regulations allow for it.
Depending on the applications being installed inside the RMU, an Ethernet switch / router
might be needed in order to concentrate the flow of communications. These data concentrators
can be implemented as customized solutions or integrated, for example, in the RTU (remote
terminal unit). To meet these requirements, Siemens offers a full range of all above -
mentioned communication technologies including rugged switches and routers that comply
with energy industry standards.
The best choice for all communications needs Fibre optics is the best transmission medium for
medium- and low-voltage applications because it is robust and not susceptible to
electromagnetic disturbances or capacity constraints. That‗s why grid operators who choose
this technology will be well prepared when their communications needs multiply in the future.
Fibre-optic cables are laid underground to connect individual substations. This work is
associated with heavy civil works, and therefore with great expense. However, when new
power cables are installed the cost-benefit analysis paints a clear picture. Fibre-optic cables
should generally be the first choice in this case.
For low- to medium-voltage applications, using the existing power line Standards-based
power line carrier solutions provide an attractive communication channel for all applications
in medium-voltage and low-voltage Smart Grid scenarios. They use the utility-owned
infrastructure in the distribution network, and provide a reliable and affordable
communications channel. Therefore, PLC solutions are especially useful for connecting
elements in grids, where no other reliable communication channel is available. They
transform the DSOs assets into a highly capable Smart Grid communication infrastructure.
With its throughput, low latency and high reliability, PLC solutions serve for distribution
automation applications as well as for backhauling data from metering applications in the
medium-voltage grid. As with every communication technology, the transmission range and
bandwidth provided by the PLC solution depends on the quality of the used transmission
medium. In case of the transmission over power lines, type and age of the power cable as well
as the number of joints have an impact on the achievable results. Consequently, a PLC
network needs to be engineered and planned correctly to provide maximum performance.
The main application area for private WiMAX / LTE systems, specifically tailored to the
needs of enterprises in vertical markets, is backhauling of RMUs, data concentrators or
Distributed Energy Resources (DER). Single prosumers could technically be served, but this
is economically reasonable only in selected cases. WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for
Microwave Access) is a standards-based telecommunications protocol (IEEE 802.16 series)
that provides both fixed and mobile broadband connectivity. The advanced point -to-
multipoint technology is field-proven and deployed globally. In the past, certain
manufacturers have evolved the system for the requirements of specific vertical markets such
as oil and gas or power utilities. Differing from telecommunication-carrier-oriented systems,
these implementations support special features such as asymmetric prioritization of uplink
traffic, layer-2-based traffic (multicast / IEC 61850 GOOSE), redundancy options, as well as
economic system scaling fitting also for smaller, privately owned regional or local networks.
Besides the application requirements, it is important to assess regional conditions like area
topology and availability of radio spectrum. Professional radio network planning and network
engineering are mandatory when setting up private broadband radio networ ks.
In general, wireless mesh networks are composed of cooperating radio nodes that are
organized in a mesh topology. The link communication technology from one hop to another
can be standardized or proprietary (e.g., FHSS, OFDM technologies). The mesh protoc ols and
corresponding forwarding algorithms are on the other hand still predominantly proprietary.
Standardization efforts in this area (e.g., 6LoWPAN protocol suite / Zigbee -NAN) are
currently still ongoing. Thanks to their mesh properties along with self-setup and self-healing
mechanisms, mesh networks inherently offer ease of operation and redundancy for fixed
applications. The system performance can be characterized by the hops‘ throughput capacity,
the average reach of a hop-to-hop link, and the max number of hops on a single path. Detailed
requirements as well as specific regional conditions must be carefully assessed in order to
select the best-suited technology.
The IoT is defined as a network that can connect any object with the Internet based on a
protocol for exchanging information and communication among various smart devices in
order to achieve monitoring, tracking, management and location identification objectives. The
IoT focuses on the realization of three main concepts, namely things-oriented, Internet-
oriented and semantic-oriented. The things oriented concept involves smart devices, such as
the Global Positioning System (GPS). The Internet oriented concept enables communication
among smart devices through various communication technologies, such as ZigBee, WI-Fi,
Bluetooth and cellular communications and connects them to the Internet. The semantic
oriented concept realizes a variety of applications with the help of smart devices. Over the
past few years, the IoT technology has gained significant attention in various applications,
and has allowed for the interconnection of the Internet to various network embedded devices
used in daily life. It has automated the operation of various systems, such as health care,
transportation, military, home appliances, and security, surveillance, agriculture and power
grids. In some areas, IoT devices are equipped with transceivers, micro controllers and
protocols, enabling their communication with other devices as well as with extern al entities to
allow the realization of completely automated systems.
HAN is the first layer; it manages the consumers‘ on-demand power requirements and
consists of smart devices, home appliances (including washing machines, televisions, air
conditioners, refrigerators and ovens), electrical vehicles, as well as renewable e nergy sources
(such as solar panels). HAN is deployed within residential units, in industrial plants and in
commercial buildings and connects electrical appliances with smart meters.
NAN, also known as Field Area Network (FAN), is the second layer of an SG and consists of
smart meters belonging to multiple HANs. NAN supports communication between
distribution substations and field electrical devices for power distribution systems. It collects
the service and metering information from multiple HANs and transmits it to the data
collectors which connect NANs to a WAN.
The communication technologies for NANs need to cover a radius of a thousand meters. The
communication channels between smart meters and data aggregation points therefore must be
interference free [63]. A gateway in the NAN collects consumers‘ energy consumption data
from smart meters in HANs and transmits the collected data to the utility companies through
either private or public WANs. Basically, the topology of a NAN is c omprised of two types of
gateways, NAN gateways and HAN gateways. A NAN gateway connects various HAN
gateways and serves as an access point to provide a single hop connection to HAN gateways
in a hybrid access manner. The HAN gateways transmit their energy consumption data to
WAN is the third layer of an SG and it serves as a backbone for communication between
network gateways or aggregation points. It facilitates the communication among power
transmission systems, bulk generation systems, renewable energy sources and control centres.
The WAN is the backbone for communication between network gateways, NANs, distributed
grid devices, utility control centres and substations. It is comprised of two interconnected
networks, core networks and backhaul networks. The core network provides communication
to utility control centres with low latency and high data rate through fibre optics or cellular
communications. The backhaul networks provide broadband connections and monitoring
devices to NANs through wired (e.g., optical networks, DSL), wireless (e.g., cellular network,
mobile broadband wireless access) or hybrid fibre-wireless networks.
The NodeMCU (Node MicroController Unit) is open source software and hardware
development environment that is built around -on-a-Chip called the ESP8266. The ESP8266,
designed and manufactured by Espressif Systems, contains all crucial elements of the modern
computer: CPU, RAM, networking (wifi), and even a modern operating system and SDK..
However, as a chip, the ESP8266 is also hard to access and use. You have to solder wires,
with the appropriate analog voltage, to its PINs for the simplest tasks such as powering it on
or sending a keystroke to the "computer" on the chip. And, you have to progra m it in low-
level machine instructions that can be interpreted by the chip hardware. While this level of
integration is not a problem when the ESP8266 is used as an embedded controller chip in
mass-produced electronics.
The NodeMCU project aims to simplify ESP8266 development. It has two key components.
1. An open source ESP8266 firmware that is built on top of the chip manufacturer's proprietary
SDK. The firmware provides a simple programming environment based
on eLua (embedded Lua), which is a very simple and fast scripting language with an
established developer community. For new comers, the Lua scripting language is easy to
learn.
2. A DEVKIT board that incorporates the ESP8266 chip on a standard circuit board. The board
has a built-in USB port that is already wired up with the chip, hardware reset button, wifi
antenna, LED lights, and standard-sized GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) pins that can
plug into a bread board.
The ESP8266 chip requires 3.3V power supply voltage. It should not be powered with 5 volts like
other arduino boards.
NodeMCU ESP-12E dev board can be connected to 5Vusing micro USB connector or Vin pin
available on board.
The I/O pins of ESP8266 communicate or input/output max 3.3V only. i.e. the pins are NOT 5V
tolerant inputs

The project semester gave a deep insight into the electric protective industry in regards to standards,
products and technology being developed. A major part of the project involved in making a
redundant power protection system and reducing the cost and losses which would have been there
because of Ethernet cables and wires.
The primary task of understanding the present protection systems, analyzing the various
components, their working, the various protocols used for communication between different IDEs
gave a deep insight of the working of a substation.
This project was innovative approach to counter the existing issues in the company .Working under
these projects has not only helped evolve and enhance my personal soft skills but has also made me
realize my full potential. Being a well established company, it provided well rounded holistic
development
IoT technology provides interactive real-time network connection to the users and devices
through various communication technologies, power equipment through various IoT smart
devices, and the cooperation required to realize real-time, two-way and high-speed data
sharing across various applications, enhancing the overall efficiency of a SG. The application
of the IoT in SGs can be classified into three types.
IoT is applied for deploying various IoT smart devices for the monitoring of equipment
states.
IoT is applied for information collection from equipment with the help of its connected
IoT smart devices through various communication technologies.
IoT is applied for controlling the SG through application interfaces. IoT sensing devices
are generally comprised of wireless sensors, RFIDs, M2M (machine-to-machine) devices,
cameras, infrared sensors, laser scanners, GPSs and various data collection devices.
The potential of renewable energy may depend, for example, on IoT -based prediction of
weather conditions that can regulate energy flow between different regions, and on
monitoring the efficiency of the involved equipment (solar panels, wind turbines).

IMPEDIMENTS AND
SUGGESTIONS
I take this opportunity to thank my respected mentors Mr. Govind Badhae making this
industrial training worthwhile and a great learning opportunity and Ms.Lovleen Kaur Taneja
for her able guidance that helped a lot throughout the semester.
Every novel idea no matter how vital, encounters a few roadblocks early on the road. Though
the training was successfully completed but still a number of difficulties were faced during
the internship tenure. Some of these difficulties arose during the project. Apart from these,
there were some difficulties which were operational in nature and were faced while
completing my day to day work in the company.
Because of my day to day work as a part of the internship program, it became difficult to
concentrate solely on my project. Sometimes, due to availability of a lot of work and limited
time, it became difficult to prioritize between my project and other short term engagements
which I was a part of. Though these engagements were an immense learning experience,
sometimes they stretched for long periods due to which I was unable to devote a lo t of time to
my project. Also, there were some rare instances when it became difficult to get help
regarding some technicalities of my project. So it took quite a lot of time to develop a
comprehensive understanding of the technicalities after thorough res earch and analysis.
However, I would like to state that my team and especially my team leader were very
supportive and always made it a point to help out whenever I faced any major difficulties. I
would like Siemens to continue the good work and keep on investing time in developing
different projects for interns to enhance and hone their technical skills.
The project semester was one of the greatest opportunities an engineer can grab. There was so
much to learn and innovate. Whatever knowledge and experience I received from the
internship program was more than expected. But there is always a room for learning more.
Here are few suggestions that could be kept in mind by the college authorities and the
industry for future benefit.
8.2.1 INDUSTRY
Being a well established company of the work force, doesn‘t of yet have any in house specific
training and guiding centre for trainees and that the project and the related research work was
left upon the intern wholly, though that was a huge part of the learning process but still we
could have produced much better results with specialized guidance.
8.2.2 COLLEGE
Been working in a core based company, there can be some subjects included in the curriculum
which are non electives like drives and some more included in the main curriculum involving
the new generation of microcontrollers. The students can be made aware of the projects being
done by the trainees of the other industries so that they get a wider perspective .
