SynchroGrid performed a WAC for CTT’s 345kV system as part of NERC PRC-027-1 requirement 2. This project included the verification of proper relay operation and coordination of distance and overcurrent elements. Coordination criteria included Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, and Zone 4 reaches, out of sequence, out of order operations, and CTI mis-coordination. As part of this project, SynchroGrid also evaluated Switch-Onto-Fault (SOTF), Loss of Potential (LOP) and load encroachment settings.
Reach verifications and coordination checks were made using CAPE’s PowerScript language.
