2013. — 10 c.The advents of IEC 61850, Smart Grids and Wide Area Protection, Automation and Control Systems (WAMPACS) provide a unique opportunity for technical advance for the sake of effective technological synchronization in Brazil. The application of the above mentioned technologies will be really profitable, if it is implemented within an environment of revolutionary evolution in terms of reengineering as much as possible the Protection, Automation and Control (PAC) universe.
A power system which still has 70 % of its secondary systems based on analogical secondary systems demands innovations to cope with its fast growth, as well as for allowing more facilities for flexible operation while providing better and increasing security. Once power system security measures are implemented through secondary systems, such an important area of electrical engineering shall be treated under a revolutionary way of thinking, at least in Brazil.
This article is based on a Data & Information Structure and, which lays on the intrinsic relative balance between data produced at the lowest layer and information demanded by the highest level. Summing up, Secondary Systems Modern Solutions (SSMS) are those implemented as a cell of a huge digital distributed processing system that is integrated all along the operational hierarchy with the aim of improving power system security. SSMS implementation may be understood as a way to achieve technological synchronism by benefiting of all the opportunities for improvements in Protection, Automation and Control.
