IEC 61869-9:2016

[applicable to SV published by MU]

Application for Protection Functions

Detail Qual

Definition

Invalid

Question-able

Meaning of DetailQual for received data

Overflow

Value beyond the capability of being represented properly

Not Used. Always set to FALSE

X

Prohibited by IEC 61850-7-2: 2010 + AMD1 (Annex D)

Not used in IEC 61869-9:2016

May be applicable to other analog information, e.g. phasors (PhV, A)

The protection shall process the input as invalid

Out of range

Value beyond a predefined range of values

True in case of Clipping

Publication with validity attribute "Questionable"

 

X

Publication with validity attribute as "Questionable" preferred

The relevant functional standard shall specify how to process the input

Applicable to SV and other analog information, eg. phasors (PhV, A)

Inaccurate

The value does not meet the stated accuracy of the source

True if signal does not respect the specified accuracy

Prohibited IEC 61850-7-2: 2010 + AMD1 (Annex D)

X

Applicable to any type of received input data

The relevant functional standard shall specify how to process the input

Applicable to SV and other analog information, e.g. phasors (PhV, A)

Badreference

Value may not be a correct value due to a reference being out of calibration

Not Used. Always set to FALSE

 

X

Publication with as "Questionable" preferred. The relevant functional standard shall specify how to process the input. Not used in IEC 61869-9:2016

May be applicable to other analog information, e.g. phasors (PhV, A)

Oscillatory

Signal changes in a defined time twice in the same direction

Not Used. Always set to FALSE

 

X

Not Applicable to analog input data (SV, phasors, etc..), only to binary input data

The protection shall process the input as invalid

Failure

Indicates that a supervision function has detected an internal or external failure

Used for detected errors

X

Prohibited by IEC 61850-7-2: 2010 + AMD1 (Annex D

Applicable to any type of received input data

The protection shall process the input as invalid

Olddata

If an update is not made during a specific time interval

Not Used. Always set to FALSE

Prohibited by IEC 61850-7-2: 2010 + AMD1 (Annex D

X

Not used in IEC 61869-9:2016

May be applicable to information, e.g. phasors (PhV, A)

The relevant functional standard shall specify how to process the input

Inconsistent

Indicates that an evaluation function has detected an inconsistency

Not Used. Always set to FALSE

Prohibited by IEC 61850-7-2: 2010 + AMD1 (Annex D

X

Not used in IEC 61869-9:2016

May be applicable to other information, e.g. phasors (PhV, A)

The relevant functional standard shall specify how to process the input
