Albanah LLC has recently completed the implementation of DIgSILENT StationWare project for Dhofar Power Company [DPC]. This project provides a reliable web-based central protection settings database and management system for the complete power system substation data for all the Grids and Primary substations in DPC electrical network, both to manage the various control parameters and to centrally store substation related information and data. It stores and records all settings in a central database, allows modelling of all relevant workflow sequences, provides quick access to relay manuals, interfaces with manufacturer specific relay settings software, and integrates with PowerFactory software.
The Project was completed in two phases.

First Phase :
During this phase all Grid, Primary indoor, and outdoor substations were visited and data was collected for the following equipment:

• Electromechanical Relays.
• Static Relays.
• Digital Relays
• Numerical Relays.
• Power Transformers.
• Auto Voltage Regulators.
• Capacitor Banks and Controllers.
• Battery Chargers.
• Circuit Breakers.
• Current Transformers.
• Voltage Transformers.

Second Phase :
During this phase all the collected equipment details and relay setting files were modelled by StationWare as per DPC electrical network hierarchy.

• Numerical and Digital relays native setting files were directly populated to StationWare using the excellent converters for a very wide range of relay manufactures which display the relay settings in actual manufacturer's format and well categorized manner.
• Other types of relays and equipment details were entered using predefined templates which can be modified later as per requirement.
• StationWare library was used to upload all the required documents i.e pdfs of SLDs , as built drawings, relay manuals and also relay softwares.
• Installation of StationWare and the completed database were deployed at Dhofar Power Company servers.
