Status Data and Analog Measurements Voltage, Current, Power Limit Checking All Operating Constraints Satisfied Operating Constraint's) Violated Loss of Load Security Assessment System Restoration Emergency Control / Load Management Overview
Restoration Constraints • Main power converter startup time • Communications start up time • Maximum dv/dt • Node voltage limits
Main Power Converter Startup Time • 10-15 second startup delay from when power is applied to the backbone • During this time: • Startup supply capacitor charges to 48V • SCRs begin to fire at 45V • Startup power supply energized • Main power converter control circuits energized
Communications Startup Time • Approximately ½ to 1 minute for the communications system to power up
Maximum DV/DT • PN junctions in solid state components are sensitive to high values of DV/DT • DI/DT will not be a concern for the NEPTUNE systems backbone solid state components
Node Voltage Limits • If node voltage drops below≈ 5600V the control circuit will drop out and the converter will turn off • Voltage cannot exceed certain levels or there could be arc over • There will be an acceptable band of operation that must be adhered to
Security Analysis Cont. • Switching Action- For a restorative action there may be several possible ways to restore the system. • Feasibility- A portion of these actions will place the system in insecure configuration for some period of time. Only switch actions which do not violate any constraint can be allowed. Note: a system may meet all 4 constrains but be operating in an insecure condition
Contingency Selection • Before a switching action is performed the effect of the following must be considered for the new topology • Loss of shore station • Loss of shallow water links or deep water links • Significant load increase • Node failures • Others
Black Start Example • Only the shore stations have power • After a node is fully energized, 4 kW of scientific load is applied to that node

Summary • Before every switching action • Ensure all 4 constraints are meet • Ensure transition is to a secure situation
