C90Plus Controller
C90Plus Controller

The C90Plus provides the flexibility, advanced logic, and automation in a single platform to address a wide-range of issues where a standalone solution is preferable, including automatic bus transfers, load shedding and load restoration schemes.

What's New in the C90Plus
  • Expanded Bay Control Capability
    • Up to six circuit breakers and thirty individual disconnect switches can be controlled via a single C90Plus, all addressable from standard communication protocols like IEC 61850 and DNP 3.0
    • The C90Plus now features six individually configurable single-line diagrams on the optional user control HMI for custom control and visualization of up to six bays
    • Interface with an even greater number of signals with new high-density I/O options. The C90Plus can collect up to 115 individual status inputs, or control up to 60 individual outputs
  • Software Ease-of-Use
    • EnerVista Viewpoint Engineer now available for graphical configuration of Protection and Automation FlexLogic™
  • Cyber-Security
    • Enabling NERC/CIP compliance
    • Dual Permission access requiring permission from both the user and from SCADA operators before settings can be changed or commands can be given to the relay
    • Remote and Local Setting and Control passwords
    • Configurable lockout responses to unsuccessful password access attempts
    • Successful password access logged in Events Record
    • Logging of user commands in the Security Audit Trail Report - creates a record and sequence of events for troubleshooting and security auditing

Applications
  • Breaker protection & control for single and double breaker arrangements with high speed breaker failure reset and dual-breaker autoreclose to allow increased system loading and improved system stability
  • Bay controller for up to six breakers in a single chassis, offering faster integration and reduced footprint
  • Substation event & digital fault and disturbance recording to meet regulatory requirements for system monitoring at generation and transmission facilities
  • Advanced Load Shedding and Load Restoration Schemes, including co-ordinated underfrequency load shedding and automated load restoration
  • Custom bus transfer schemes, including Main-Tie-Main (MTM), and high speed motor bus transfer


Features and Benefits:

Automation Controller
  • Advanced Automation FlexLogic™ user-programmable logic engine, completely independent from Protection FlexLogic™, including Math processing
  • Control functions, including under/overfrequency, rate-of-change-of-frequency and undervoltage for advanced load shedding, load restoration and dynamic volt/var control schemes
  • High density I/O options ideally suited for applications, such as Gas Insulated Stations, that require a large number of status inputs and outputs

Circuit Breaker Protection & Control
  • Protection designed to allow increased line loading and shorter critical clearing times for constrained transmission systems
  • Standalone breaker failure and reclosing relay for single and dual-breaker arrangements
  • Breaker failure reset times of 5/8 of a power system cycle reduces margins required for breaker failure reset and allows for reduce critical fault clearing angles
  • Single/three-pole Four-shot dual breaker autoreclosing
  • User-programmable Protection FlexLogic™ for custom schemes (protection schemes executed every 1 ms)
  • Directional and non-directional overcurrent protection
  • Synchrocheck for single and dual breaker applications

The C90Plus has 12 pre-configured bay single-line diagrams and controls for corresponding bay equipment.   Phasor display of sequence components showing the standing unbalance in the line


Monitoring & Metering
  • Metering functions ranging from basic system metering to Data Logging and Synchrophasors as per IEEE C37.118
  • High resolution, fast scan (128 samples/cycle) transient recorder, featuring 30 second storage capacity and 10 microsecond time stamp accuracy
  • Disturbance/Swing recorder with 5 minutes of recording capacity to record long-duration events like power swings, voltage sag and swell and trending
  • Sequence of Events recorder - 8000 time tagged events, with 0.5 ms scan of digital inputs


Communications
  • Supports the following industry standard protocols for easy, direct integration into DCS and SCADA systems: IEC 61850, DNP 3.0, IEC60870-5-104, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP
  • 3 independently configurable IP addresses, supporting independent engineering access and Single/Dual IP redundancy for various communications architectures


User Interface
  • Digital Annunciator - configurable color LCD annunciator for custom alarms
  • HMI for display and control functions
  • Comprehensive data visualization
  • Up to 6 User programmable diagrams for bay monitoring and control
  • Pre-programmed single line diagrams for common bus configurations, including ring-bus, double breaker and breaker-and-half configurations
  • Pre-programmed comprehensive displays for Metering, Bay Control, Fault Reports, Sequence of Event Reports, and Real Time Phasor Displays


Security
  • Remote and Local Setting and Control passwords
  • Dual Permission Access Control
  • Configurable lockout responses to unsuccessful password access attempts
  • Successful password access logged in Events Record
  • Detailed Security Audit Trail Report records relay configuration changes and commands executed
