Wavewin Process

Wavewin Process is an advanced software platform that is designed to automate the process of analyzing transient data files. The Wavewin Process system includes data collection, data preparation, the extraction of key parameters, data analysis/classification, and event reporting.

Automated Data Collection

Data Collection is the first component in the Wavewin Process platform. Our data collection applications are user friendly, non-intrusive, and universal. By universal we mean that our data collection supports almost all communication protocols used in the modern substation such as SFTP, IEC61850 MMS, and FTP/FTPS. We also support a wide array of proprietary protocols and serial protocols allowing our software to communicate with both legacy and modern disturbance monitoring equipment (DME).

Automated Data Preparation and Extraction

Data preparation and the extraction of key parameters is the core of the Wavewin Process system.

Data Preparation

The main purpose of the Wavewin Process system is to automatically calculate and extract key parameters from transient data files. For this process to work generically the analog and digital channels of a line in any DME such as Digital Fault Recorders (DFRs), meters, or digital relays need to be specified in a standard format. This is where Line Groups come in. Line Groups are Softstuf’s solution to preparing DME data for analysis in a standardized format.

Data Extraction

Wavewin Process uses template files to determine what key parameters to calculate and extract from transient data files. These template files can either be pre-created by Softstuf, or user defined. The pre-created templates offered by Softstuf include the following:

  • Fault Report Template
  • Prefault Report Template
  • Postfault Report Template
  • Channel Health Report Template
  • Harmonic Analysis Report Template
  • Power Triangle Report Template
  • DC Offset Report Template
  • Voltage Monitoring Report Template
  • Power Quality Report Template

Automated Data Analysis

The key parameters extracted by Wavewin Process can be used to perform the following functionality:

  • Classify each transient data file as a System event, equipment event (mis-operation), or a nuisance nonevent.
  • Classify each system event: Single phase, multi-phase, or double ended
  • Classify each equipment event: Testing record, DME wiring, or bad channels issue.
  • Classify channel health issues such as pegged channels, channel polarity, or channel imbalance issues.
  • Classify voltage deviations from nominal as Sag or Swell events.
  • Identify the root cause of power quality issues such as voltage source and harmonic distortion issues.
  • Analyze sequence of events (SOEs) to detect any digital channels that are in a chattering state.
  • Log all communications, detecting any devices which are not communicating.

Event Reporting

Once the events have been detected and classified the Wavewin Process system can be configured to send email reports describing the events in detail within 15 minutes of the event occurring. Wavewin Process can also be configured to provide dashboards allowing users to visualize events detected and classified by the software.
