1. Summary
Ballynahulla is a new 220 / 110 kV transmission station that will be constructed along the path of
the existing Clashavoon Tarbert 220 kV line.
This specification is based on the SLD XDN-SLD-CP0651-F-BYH-001. Rev05
The following is assumed for Ballynahulla 220 kV GIS busbar:
220 kV GIS double busbar
One 220 kV transformer bay T2102 (250 MVA)
Two 220 kV line bays (Ballyvouskill and Knockanure)
One spare 220 kV transformer bay
Four spare 220 kV line bays
Two 220 kV wing coupler bays (K1 and K2)
Two 220 kV sectionalising circuit breaker bays (SA1-2 and SB1-2)
The following is assumed for Ballynahulla 110 kV GIS busbar:
110 kV GIS double busbar
One110 kV transformer bays T2102 (250 MVA)
One spare 110 kV transformer bay
One110 kV line bay (Cordal)
Five spare 110 kV line bays
Two 110 kV wing coupler bays (K1 and K2)
Two 110 kV sectionalising circuit breaker bays (SA1-2 and SB1-2)
It is assumed that the new station will be equipped with a SCS as per the current term contract.
The protection for the spare bays will not be specified as part of this project.
2. Ballynahulla Protection Communications Requirements:
The protection at Ballynahulla will require access to the fibre network for Differential
communications and for Impedance protection teleprotection signalling. As access to the
fibre network in this region is limited, the communication requirements, as outlined in the
following sections, must be given consideration at the earliest point in the design process.
3. Ballynahulla Protection Relay Requirements:
The GRL100 relays for this station have been specified with the additional backup distance
protection function to cater for the phased provisioning of FO based protection
communications. The communications infrastructure in this region will be built as part of the
Ballyvouskill, Kilpaddoge, Knockanure and Ballynahulla projects. As the timeline for the
completion of each project is not clearly defined at this stage, the backup distance function in
the GRL will allow the lines to be operated with duplicate impedance protection until such time
as the communications infrastructure is completed. A modified protection elementary will be
required for these relays and must be requested at the earliest possible stage in the design
process.

4. Ballynahulla Bus Zone / Circuit Breaker Failure Protection:
4.1.
4.2.
4.3.
4.4.
4.5.
4.6.
Install a combined BZP/CBF scheme for the new 220 kV busbar. The scheme must be
specified to cater for the initial development of the busbar and have adequate
capacity for any future bays.
A 220 kV Bus Zone Protection trip should block local auto-reclosing and initiate
transmission of PTT and auto-recloser block signals to the relevant remote stations (2
second signal duration).
Stage 1 operation of the 220 kV circuit breaker fail protection scheme should result in:
o Attempted triple pole tripping (trip commands to both sets of trip coils) of the
failed CB
o The blocking of the local auto-recloser (Line Bays only)
o The transmission of PTT and auto-recloser block signals to the remote end (2
second signal duration)
Install a combined BZP/CBF scheme for the new 110 kV busbar. The scheme must be
specified and designed to cater for the initial development of the busbar and for any
future bays.
A 110 kV Bus Zone Protection trip should block local auto-reclosing and initiate
transmission of PTT and auto-recloser block signals to the relevant remote stations (2
second signal duration).
Stage 1 operation of the 110 kV circuit breaker fail protection scheme should result in:
o Attempted triple pole tripping (trip commands to both sets of trip coils) of the
failed CB
o The blocking of the local auto-recloser (Line Bays only)
o The transmission of PTT and auto-recloser block signals to the remote end (2
second signal duration)

Indication lamps operated by the synchronising relay to indicate that the
voltage difference, angular difference and frequency difference are all within
the permitted range for close commands to be issued and when the sync relay
is ready to give a permissive close command.
The above cabinet should be installed close to SCS HMI so that operator
carrying out the synchronising operation is able to see the overall station busbar
configuration on the SCS and the synchronising instrumentation outlined above.
5.5.3.
5.5.4.
5.5.5.
The SCS should provide a facility to locally select Control Sync mode.
The CB to be Control Sync closed should be selectable locally via the SCS HMI.
When a CB has been selected for Control Sync the SCS shall:
5.5.5.1. Provide the necessary incoming and reference voltages(R and S phases)
to the synchronising relay (depending on CB selected for Control Sync
Close and busbar configuration)
5.5.5.2. Set up the routing of synchronising relay close command to the selected
CB. The CONTROLLED SYNC close command to the selected CB shall also
be routed via a dedicated SMD switch (wired in series with the
synchronising relay close command contacts.
