Call for Papers SC B5 Tromsoe 2019

PREFERENTIAL SUBJECTS:
Papers are invited on any topics of interest falling within the following three preferential subjects.

PS 1: Leveraging PMU data for better Protection, Automation and Control Systems
• Use of PMU data to improve system models and to monitor analogue inputs
• Adaptive protection concepts utilizing PMU data
• Wide area schemes, novel backup protection, power swing protection, and synchronizing schemes based on PMU data
• Improvements in PACS commissioning and post-event analysis using PMU data

PS 2: Time in Protection Applications – Time sources and distribution Methods
• Sources and distribution of time references in PACS and Wide Area Systems and the related accuracy
• Engineering of time synchronisation and time reference distribution for IEC 61850 process bus based protection and control applications
• Commissioning and testing of time reference sources and distribution means
• Expected behaviour of PACS functions in case of loss and recovery of time synchronisation

PS 3: Future technologies for inter-substation communication, Migrating Digital Teleprotection Channels to Packet-Based Networks
• Migration of Serial Teleprotection Channels to Packet-Based Networks and best practices for specifying, testing, commissioning and monitoring
• Specification of channel or network performance, data transmission and management of constraints for PACS
• Data Segregation including use of virtual networks and WDM (Wavelength-Division Multiplexing) for PACS and performance analysis methods
• Substitution of serial interface: Technologies, topologies, constraints and experience feedback

SUBMISSION:
Authors are invited to submit a Synopsis (about 500 words) of the proposed paper. The Synopsis should be sent by e-mail via their CIGRE SC B5 National Committee Member/Observer to reach the Secretary of Study Committee B5 richard.adams@ramboll.co.uk by October 31, 2018.
