4. Project Name:

Developing an Integrated On-line Platform for Transmission Network Outage Coordination


To optimize manpower resource to meet the network maintenance

requirements and the planned system outages

To coordinate and prioritize maintenance works in the transmission

network

To develop an on-line platform to facilitate coordination and

communication among internal stakeholders for an effective outage

planning


The proposed project addresses the operation and maintenance issues

of managing transmission network.

There are numerous work orders generated in each year end for

meeting the maintenance work requirement of various transmission

plant equipment (i.e. Switchgear or Transformer) in the next years.

While there are also numerous circuit outages required, for example,

for cutting in new plant equipment or transmission substations in

response to the social development.

Overcurrent & Earth Fault Protection (OCEF) is widely adopted in power

industries to detect abnormal conditions in power system and isolate the

faulty section in order to minimize system disruption due to the fault. This

protection relay settings in terms of both current and time to operate the

protection relay nearest to fault first. To support and facilitate the co-

ordination, an OCEF co-ordination program was developed to simulate real

system situations in order to determine OCEF protection settings in power

system. The project covers review on existing co-ordination program and
