SMART DEVICE FOR

VOLTAGE REGULATION
Smart Device for Voltage Regulation – SDV

The quality of the voltage of electrical equipment, such as transformers, motors, generators
is essential for their safe operation, allowing us to obtain from these assets the maximum use
of the investment without endangering its life cycle.
The Smart Device for Voltage Regulation - SDV is an equipment that combines the main
functionalities of a voltage regulator relay to the thermal protection and control.
During its operation, SDV aims to maintain the quality of the voltage in the load, that is, within
a certain range of values, user programmable. For this, in addition to performing the function
of relays 90, SDV presents a series of applications to meet the most demanding regulations in
the electrical sector.
In addition, based on the readings of the temperature of the insulating oil and one or more
transformer load currents, the SDV performs temperature calculations of one or more
windings and acts on the temperature management of the asset (functions 26 and 49).
Finally, Treetech SDV has been specially designed to integrate in a harmonic and complete
way with any product that supports the Modbus® (standard), DNP3 and IEC 61850
(optional).
SDV AND MULTIGRADIENT FEATURE
Once the thermal behavior of a transformer varies according to the activation of its cooling
stages, SDV presents the multigradient function.
This feature allows the equipment to vary thermal parameters according to the active
cooling stage. The winding temperature calculation is more accurate according to the
operation of the transformer, ensuring greater reliability when the equipment works on
overload.

Optional Functions
According to the request, SDV can be supplied with one or more of the optional functions
listed below:

MMEM – Mass memory

Non-volatile memory for storage of measurements and alarms events, shutdowns and
others, with capacity greater than 10 months recording every 15 minutes. The intervals
between recordings and temperature range for recording are user programmable.

DNP3 – DNP3 protocol

Level 2 DNP3 slave communication protocol, RTU, with support for timestamp with 1 ms
accuracy. Through the DNP3 protocol, the user can access parameter query and
programming, checking of analog and digital measurements, and alarm events.

IEC6 – IEC 61850 protocol

IEC 61850 server communication protocol, with timestamp support with 1 ms accuracy.

PCOL – Pre-cooling

Extends the life of the insulation by activating the cooling groups when load levels previously
selected by the user are reached. Taking advantage of the large thermal inertia of the oil,
forced cooling is triggered before the temperature rises excessively, reducing windings
exposure to high temperatures and limiting the loss of life of the insulation. Programmed by
the user:

 Percentage of load for individual drive of each forced cooling stage;

 Hysteresis to shut down the forced cooling stages when load decreases.

FEXC – Fan exercise

The fan exercise function prevents fans and / or pumps from being inactive for long periods
on transformers with low load or during periods of low ambient temperature. This prevents
axle locking by dirt accumulation or grease drying. Cooling equipment is activated daily,
according to the equipment internal clock, as user selections made:

 Fan start time (hour and minute);

 Total daily fan operation time, from 0 to 999 minutes.

6|Page
[Catalog – SDV | CA-119 | 10-15-2018 | Ver.: 2.27]
 The fan exercise function can also be used for pre-cooling, in transformers subject to cyclic
loading; the starting of the cooling is scheduled for a time prior to the daily peak of load,
with the desired advance.

INAG – Insulation aging monitoring

This function performs the online monitoring of the winding insulation life loss, providing
important information for the diagnosis and prognosis of the condition of the equipment:

 Current Percentage of life remaining, 100% (new insulation) to 0% (end of life of

insulation);
 The average insulation loss rate, in % per day, calculated over a user-selectable
time period;
 Extrapolation of the remaining lifetime for the insulation, calculated as a function
of the variables above (percentage of remaining life and average rate of loss of
life).

OLTD – OLTC temperature differential

This function allows you to compare the transformer oil with the
OLTC temperature, to detect abnormal temperature differentials and alert maintenance
personnel to the OLTC failure.

As the temperature differential is subject to the influence of external variables, the

monitoring occurs in two different ways, in order to increase the efficiency of the diagnosis
and to avoid false alarms:

 Instantaneous Differential Monitoring - Provides quick-response alarms for high-

intensity, even short-term defects;
 Filtered Differential Monitoring - By subjecting the Instantaneous Differential to
a low pass filter, it is possible to detect trends in the differential that indicate
permanent defects of low intensity, albeit with a longer detection time.

DIGI – Digital inputs

Two digital inputs for control switching from OLTC command mode between manual /
automatic and local / remote. They can also be used to raise tap / download tap if the
optional TAPP is enabled.

TAPP – OLTC tap position*

Input for reading OLTC position by potentiometric sensor, with compensation for resistance
of cables and detection of errors. Associated functions:

7|Page
[Catalog – SDV | CA-119 | 10-15-2018 | Ver.: 2.27]
  Current output programming for remote tap reading;
 Manual command of OLTC, local (front panel) and by serial communication;
 Limitation of OLTC excursion range (minimum and maximum tap positions
allowed) and memorizing maximum and minimum positions reached since last
reset;
 Protection against undue tap operations: blockage of OLTC in case of operations
not initiated by SDV.

OLMT – OLTC maintenance*

It allows the position measurement in the molds of the optional TAPP presented in the item
above and adds:

 OLTC operation counter, with notice for high number of operations;

 Integration of current switched squared, with notice for high I² sum;
 Time remaining for maintenance;
 Maintenance alarms are issued with programmable advance.

OLCK – OLTC switching success check

Enabled, this feature allows the SDV to check the success of switching through the voltage
changes after the control command (increase / decrease of voltage). It works by algorithms
that identify voltage levels corresponding to the sensitivity of the circuit, identifying activity
or not of the switching, signaling the fault (Alarm). It does not require potentiometric
transmitter information.

MSPR – Master-Slave Parallelism*

In Master-Slave method, one of the transformers should be chosen as the master, while the
remaining as slave or as individual. In this way, all the switching carried out by the master
transformer is also started simultaneously on the slaves, keeping the same position in all
transformers and avoiding current flow between the parallel windings.

CCPR – Circulating current parallelism*

Parallelism control for up to 6 transformers using the Minimum Circulating Current Method,
with block for excess circulating current.

CONC – Parallelism concentrator*

Enables the communication function with the parallelism system via SPS.
*Under request.

Rapid Installation Panel - PIR

SDV must always be installed sheltered from the weather, and for this it is usually installed
inside a control panel or inside a building. In cases where this is not convenient, for example,
in retrofits of old transformers, the SDV can be supplied in easy installation weatherproof
cabinets.

 Weather shelter

If ambient temperature measurement is desired in unguarded

locations, a weather shelter should be used to protect the Pt100Ω
sensor at 0 ° C, minimizing errors that sun, rain, wind, etc. could
cause in the measurement. Treetech has a suitable weather shelter.

Thermometric wells for temperature sensor Pt100Ω at 0 °C

Thermometric wells are used to give total protection to the sensors where they are installed.
They are also intended to completely seal the process against pressure losses, leaks or
possible contaminations.
Mounting the sensors with thermowells is necessary where safety and installation conditions
are highly critical.
Added to this is the ease of removal of the sensor for maintenance or exchange, without the
inconvenience of a process shutdown.

The wells are made of 304 stainless steel, a material very resistant to corrosion and
very used as protection in temperatures up to 900 °C. The dimensions of the figure
above are in mm.
