Relay protection time synchronization error
Within the DPU/TPU, there is a time clock, which may be enabled or disabled. If the clock is disabled, then the relay will not time stamp each event in the relay. Advanced power-system, protection-and-control applications using IEC 61850 sampled values (SV) require a time-synchronization accuracy of 1 microsecond and better. This paper will explain the Time Synchronization methods for the DPU/TPU/GPU IED's using Modbus or DNP 3. Historically, when accurate time stamping was needed, substation protection and control schemes have employed daisy chained IRIG-B connections with sometimes additional 1PPS method (for example for differential line protection). The power utility section of ISK is responsible for distributing electrical energy inside the chemistry park Knapsack Hürth near Cologne in Germany which is.
