GE N60 | Network Stability and Synchrophasor Measurement System
The N60 network stability and synchrophasor measurement system is a flexible device intended for the development of load shedding, remedial action, special protection schemes and wide area monitoring and control. Like no one device before, the N60 shares real-time operational data to remote N60s so the system can generate intelligent decisions to maintain power system operation.
Applications
- Decrease blackouts by identifying network instabilities and taking fast preventative action
- Increase utilization of existing investments by identifying power transfer capability on existing lines
- Compliments existing protection and control by sharing power and utilization information with existing systems to enhance system security
- Facilitate contingency planning through continuous synchrophasor data collection and postmortem analysis
- Provides enhanced state estimation for SCADA to optimize system-wide load shedding and remedial action schemes
- Mitigate system critical conditions such as power system dampening and loss of synchronism through the use of enhanced automated control to reduce outages
Key benefits
- Scalable synchrophasor measurements with up to 6 PMUs per IED reducing synchrophasor cost by up to 80%
- Real-time access to remote analog data, providing for advanced wide area applications and enhanced system security
- Exceeds the latest IEEE® C37.118 standard for PMU measurement devices with a TVE of less than 1%, protection and metering class synchrophasors and multi-cast IEC® 61850-90-5 support
- Uninterrupted synchrophasor measurements during fault and disturbances, providing highly reliable capture of data for critical control functions and post-mortem analysis
- Three independent fiber or copper Ethernet ports for simultaneous/ dedicated network connections with 1 microsecond time synchronization via LAN with IEEE 1588 support
- Simplified system integration with direct connection to JungleMUX SONET, TN1U SDH and TN1Ue SDH networks
- Increase network availability by reducing failover time to zero through IEC 62439-3 "PRP" support
- CyberSentry™ provides high-end cyber security aligned to industry standards and services (NERC® CIP, AAA, Radius, RBAC, Syslog)
- Complete IEC 61850 Process Bus solution provides resource optimization and minimizes total P&C life cycle costs
