Units applied to the programmed state transition operations

Ut = {s, ms, c}

Second {s}

All operations T_n are in seconds

Millisecond {ms}

All operations T_n are in milliseconds

Cycle {c}

All operations T_n are in electrical cycles (setting the frequency is mandatory)

Master switch that determines whether the programmed operations will occur upon triggering an acquisition

EnaGen = {0, 1}

Disable {0}

Programmed operations are disabled

Enable {1}

Programmed operations are enabled

State of phase breakers in steady-state; “colored” if the breaker is open and “grey” if the breaker is closed

iniStateA = {0, 1}

iniStateB = {0, 1}

iniStateC = {0, 1}

iniStateG = {0, 1}

Should be set using the parameter "Base frequency".

Hz

Freq = { [45, 70] }

Enable/disable the state transition operation on the same line.

EnaT1 = {0, 1}

EnaT2 = {0, 1}

...

Disable {0}

Disable the state transition operation on the same line

Enable {1}

Enable the state transition operation on the same line. If the line is enabled but no information is filled, the state transition operation is ignored.

Relative time (with respect to POW synchronization) when the command is sent to the breaker (or switch) to change state. There are four ways to input this time.

Important notes:

• For changes of state to occur, programmed operation times must always respect T_n>T_n-1.

• If a parameter field is blank or contains “-”, no switching will occur for this line.

• There is no alias for the type of timing in the API. The timing type and values are entered as a single string.

• If using referenced operations, the calculated time is applied after it received the command from the other component. See the Referenced Operations section for more information.

Refer to "Time units" parameter

T1 = {'string'}

T2 = {'string'}

...

Fixed

{f: fixed time}

At each acquisition, T_n command is sent at the same time for all phases selected in "Phase operated".

Incremental

{i: initial time/final time/time increment}

For the first acquisition, T_n command is sent at the set initial time for all phases selected in "Phase operated". Then at each acquisition, T_n command is sent a time increment later than the previous acquisition. Once the final time is reached, the next acquisition will be done using the initial time again.

Uniform

{u: minimal time/maximal time}

At each acquisition, T_n command is sent at a random time. The probability is uniform over the specified range. All phases selected in "Phase operated" DO NOT receive the command at the same time, it is also random.

Uniform gaussian

{ug: minimal time/maximal time/ dispersion}

At each acquisition, T_n command is sent at a random time. The probability follows a gaussian distribution over the specified range. All phases selected in "Phase operated" DO NOT receive the command at the same time, it is also random.

Use to refer the triggering of T_n to another breaker programmed state transition. See the Referenced Operations section for more information.

NB: all columns must be filled for the referenced operation to work.

Ref operation

Name (or path) of the breaker to which the timing is referenced

Eref1 = {'path.name'}

Eref2 = {'path.name'}

...

Ref time

Time T_n ID of the referenced breaker's step to which the timing is referenced

Tref1 = {T_n}

Tref2 = {T_n}

...

Phase/Command

Activate (Phase {1}) or deactivate (Command {0}) the reference dependency

T2RPh = {0, 1}

...

The list of all phases that will change state when the timing condition is reached. So if after T_n-1 the A and C phases are OFF and T_n triggers B and C, after T_n phases A and B will be OFF, and C will be ON.
