6.0.2.2 Buses, topologies and the Association Matrix

In the system in Figure 6-1, circuit breakers M1, M2, and T1 are topology circuit breakers, since
their state (i.e., open or closed) determines how the buses are powered. In the system shown in
Figure 6-1, there are three different ways in which a bus can be powered, so there are three
topologies for each zone:

Zone 1

Topology 1: Bus 1 powered by source at M1 (or not powered)

Topology 2: Bus 1 powered by source at M2

Topology 3: Bus 1 powered by sources at M1 and M2

Zone 2

Topology 1: Bus 2 powered by source at M2 (or not powered)

Topology 2: Bus 2 powered by source at M1

Topology 3: Bus 2 powered by sources at M1 and M2

This topology definition is summarized in the Table 6-1 below. Entellisys refers to this table as
the Association Matrix.

NOTE: Bus 1 in Zone 1 is always powered by the source connected to circuit breaker M1 (or is
unpowered), except for the following two cases:

Case 1: The circuit breaker M1 (Topology Circuit Breaker 1) is open and circuit breakers M2
(Topology Circuit Breaker 2) and T1 (Topology Circuit Breaker 3) are closed. In this case Bus 1 is
powered by the source connected to M2. For that row in the Association Matrix, the Topology for
Zone 1 is therefore 2.

Case 2: All three topology circuit breakers are closed, in which case Bus 1 is powered by the
sources connected to M1 and M2, in parallel. For that row in the Association Matrix, the
Topology for Zone 1 is therefore 3. For Zone 1, all other rows in the Association Matrix are set to
1. A similar analysis applies to Zone 2.
