We are pleased to announce the release of feature pack 3 which introduces new functionality for ABB Ability™ Smart Substation Control and Protection for electrical systems SSC600.
With SSC600 you gain continuous access to new software developments and the very latest technological advancements within protection and control to guarantee an always up-to-date substation system. Also adapting to changing protection requirements is straightforward with fully modular software.
With feature pack 3, SSC600 now offers support for inter-substation communication for new kinds of network management or automation approaches with routable GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Events). Substation communication over routed networks enables advanced control possibilities for distributed energy resources. As always with SSC600 the chosen approach is according to international standards, in this case IEC 61850-90-5.
To meet the needs of more complex switchgear, SSC600 now also offers improved busbar differential protection. Improvements include support for more measurements and more protection zones. Low impedance-based busbar differential protection is very important for clearing faults inside switchgear and mitigating impact. It is one of the fastest protection functions available, and it can be used for switchgear with multiple sections.
