New modern potash solution mine and production facility built near Moose Jaw. Power systems of the facility includes 230/25kV Electrical Substation.
Relay protection and Control IEDs supplied by Schweitzer and GE (Micom 264, GE D60, SEL-735, SEL-421, SEL-351-7, SEL-751, SEL-387L, SEL-487B). All the IEDs integrated and controlled with SEL-3530 Automation Controller via IEC61850. DNP3.0 is used for NCC communication.
Project features:
- 01
Many IEC61850 interoperability issues with different vendors have been solved.
- 02
Scope of work: Factory Stage Engineering of the SEL-3530 Automation Controller, integration of all IEDs via IEC61850 and NCC DNP3.0 configuration.
