Introduction to Database Description

1. Introduction to Database Description

PSS SINCAL's database description details the entire PSS SINCAL Data Model. It describes the
construction and semantics of the PSS SINCAL Data Model and includes tables of relations and
their attributes.

This manual contains the following chapters:

● Tables of Electrical Networks

● Tables of Pipe Networks
● Tables of Network Graphics

1.1 General Remarks

The PSS SINCAL Data Model was developed using the following criteria:

● The PSS SINCAL Data Model is object-oriented.

● All objects are unique and respond to the primary key.
● The standardized layout used through most of the program reduces redundancies and
simplifies the search for, and control of, consistency.
● The PSS SINCAL Data Model is separated into categories to simplify evaluations and
management.
● There are no limitations as to how the selected data model is implemented in all the
PSS SINCAL Relational Database Management systems.

1.1.1 Design Guidelines

Key

Most of the tables in the PSS SINCAL Data Model have primary keys to uniquely identify the data.
The primary key in a table contains the name of the table and has the ending "_ID".

References in the PSS SINCAL Data Model have a secondary key. It includes the name of the
reference table and has the ending "_ID".

The data type of keys is always "LongInteger".

Examples of primary and secondary keys:

● Table for Network element (Element)

Primary key: Element_ID
Secondary key: VoltLevel_ID, Variant_ID
● Table for Terminal (Terminal)
Primary key: Terminal_ID
Secondary key: Element_ID, Node_ID

PSS SINCAL Database Description SIEMENS
Introduction to Database Description

Note: PSS SINCAL uses special algorithms for the management of the key fields. Therefore it is
important to ensure that the IDs are generated ascending starting with the smallest possible ID (1).
Gaps in the IDs are easily possible, but it should be avoided to store very large numbers, because
otherwise problems with PSS SINCAL GUI functions and variant management have to be
expected. Also the direct storage of unique GIS IDs in the primary key fields is not allowed. For this
purpose, the special MasterResource mapping table is available.

1.1.2 Labeling Conventions

Table Names

Appropriate English terms were selected as table names. PSS SINCAL uses upper- and lower-
case letters to improve legibility.

Essentially, the names of tables differentiate among input data, graphic data, and results.

All tables for input data have appropriate simple names:

● Line
● TwoWindingTransformer
● etc.

All tables with graphic data begin with "Graphic":

● GraphicElement
● GraphicLayer
● etc.

The tables for output data begin with an abbreviation for the calculation method and end with
"Result":

● LFNodeResult
● SC1BranchResult
● etc.

Attribute Names

● Whenever possible, attribute names are the same as the corresponding formula sign.
● Attribute names are kept as language-neutral as possible or English terms are used.
● Attribute names are both unique and case-sensitive.
● Numbers replace superscripts and commas (e.g. ' > 1 “ > 2).
● Underscoring ("_") is used as a placement marker for slashes and to connect expressions.
● External and primary keys end with "_ID" (e.g. Element_ID Variant_ID)

1.1.3 Input Data

To simplify the PSS SINCAL Data Model, element tables show the data for the various
PSS SINCAL calculation methods.

8 April 2019
SIEMENS PSS SINCAL Database Description
Introduction to Database Description

For example, line elements have data for the load flow calculations, short circuit calculations,
harmonics calculations, etc.

Element attributes are separated into categories. This means that, although data supply summary
information in a shared table, data can be selected for a specific calculation method or the present
state of the data can be seen.

Input Data State

Network Element (Element) tables have a "Flag_Input" attribute that stores the current state of the
data input for each category. Flags show what data have or have not been entered. Flags for
different categories can be created with the help of the bit-wise OR-operator.

Electrical Networks

● Bit 0: Short circuit data

● Bit 1: Load flow data
● Bit 2: Zero-phase sequence data
● Bit 3: Negative-phase sequence data
● Bit 4: Harmonics data
● Bit 5: Dynamics data
● Bit 6: Protection data
● Bit 7: Controller data
● Bit 8: Reliability data
● Bit 9: Supplementary data
● Bit 10: Measurement data
● Bit 11: Motor start-up data
● Bit 12: Transformer controller data
● Bit 13: Distance protection data
● Bit 14: Generator unit data
● Bit 15: Transformer unit data
● Bit 16: Direct feeder data for generator
● Bit 17: Equivalent element data
● Bit 18: Economics data

Pipe Networks

● Bit 24: Flow data

● Bit 25: Water data
● Bit 26: Gas data
● Bit 27: Heating/cooling data
● Bit 28: Static data
● Bit 30: Equivalent element data

1.2 Structure of the PSS SINCAL Data Model

The following illustration shows the basic structure of the PSS SINCAL Data Model on the basis of
some selected tables.

GraphicNode Node

NetworkZone
NetworkGroup
GraphicTerminal Terminal VoltageLevel

GraphicElement Element

Line Load ...

In the center of the describing data there is the Element table. With this table and the tables
connected to it node elements and branch elements are defined. The individual network elements
are detailed described by additional tables with a 1:1 relationship. In the illustration above these are
the Line and the Load table.

The Node table describes the basic network topology. Node elements and branch elements are
connected to the node with the help of the Terminal table. This is used to construct the entire
network topology.

Special Graphics tables describe the graphic structure of the network. The graphic attributes are
assigned to the basic topology tables Node, Terminal and Element.

2.2.3 Standard Types

Standard types administers the input data of network elements in an external database (standard
database). It can centrally administer the input data of often used standardized equipment such as
lines, transformers etc.. For a detailed description of how standard types work and how they are
used, see the section on Standard Types in Screen Forms in the chapter on Screen Forms in the
System Manual.

The following illustration shows the basic structure of the universal protection device database.

In the illustration the different areas of the protection database are shown in different colors. Red
tables represent the structure of a protection device, such as the available settings, methods, etc.
Blue tables are for values that can be set at the protection device or data assigned to the device.
Green tables are required for administration.

In the data model the ProtDev table models a protection device. As you can see in the illustration,
this protection device is at the center of the data model. Methods described by the ProtMethod
table are connected to the protection device. The methods are mainly used to structure the many
different functions of a modern protection device. Specific properties and functions of the protection
device are grouped together as a method.

The possible settings – described by the ProtSet table – are connected to the method itself. This
table describes in detail all available protection device settings along with the permissible value
range, the unit, the address of the settings, etc. The values that have actually been set are stored
in the tables for ProtSetTxtVal, ProtSetIntVal and ProtSetDblVal.

Protection device functions are also connected to the method. These functions are not required to
document the settings. It characteristic curves and RX protection zones can be stored here. These
data are mainly needed when the protection device is used in PSS SINCAL calculations, where the
stored characteristics are required.

The ProtLoc table is used to describe a protection location and place protection devices anywhere
you want.

SIEMENS PSS SINCAL Database Description
Tables of Electrical Networks

The tables for ProtBlobData and ProtDevExData can store any external supplementary data you
want in the protection device database and assign these to a protection device. These are normally
PDF documents that describe the structure and the functions of the protection device.

The tables for ProtDevCategory and ProtSetCategory structure the data making them easier to
edit, since they are assigned to the category you want to edit.

The ProtSetGrp table assigns protection device settings a protection setting group. This lets you
keep as many setting groups as you want for individual protection devices and use these to reflect
different network operating states and their corresponding protection device configurations (e.g.
summer operation or winter operation).

The tables for ProtUser and ProtUserLock are only required for administration purposes. The
ProtUser table stores the users and their authorizations to use PSS PDMS. The ProtUserLock
table is needed to lock specific tables and thus prevent conflicts when more than one user is
working at the same time.
