We are pleased to announce the release of feature pack 4, which introduces new functionality for ABB Ability™ Smart Substation Control and Protection for electrical systems SSC600 and the new product, SSC600 SW.
What’s new?
ABB is launching the first virtualized protection and control solution with Smart Substation Control and Protection SSC600 SW. The virtualized product enables customers to use the hardware of their choice and gain access to same proven protection and control functionality as with ABB’s turnkey solution.
Further enhancements in feature pack 4 include:
- Re-developed user interface, which greatly improves visualization, helping you to perform the right actions with ease. To ensure robustness, the core components behind the user interface have been replaced with new technology.
- The disturbance recorder function can now support longer recording times and offers more storage space for the recordings.
- Fuse failure supervision for increased robustness. This function is used to block the voltage measuring functions when a failure occurs in the secondary circuits between the voltage
transformer and merging unit.
- Protection for shunt capacitor banks.
- Support for simulation as defined in the IEC 61850 standard. By using simulation in combination with modern testing tools, it’s possible to receive generated measurements, without interfering with the normal process. This makes new flexible solutions for periodical testing of the
protection functionality possible.
