ARE CRITICAL TO ANY
OPERATION.
ACSELERATOR TEAM SOFTWARE AUTOMATES THE
COLLECTION AND REPORTING OF POWER SYSTEM
DATA FROM MULTIPLE DEVICES TO A CENTRAL
LOCATION FOR EASY ACCESS.
Team is one component of the acSELerator Software
family, which helps you work more efficiently and manage
processes by providing a common set of tools that improve
commissioning and collaboration.
Using Team, engineers and technicians can continuously
monitor an entire system and quickly gather event or metering
data. Team integrates into acSELerator QuickSet® Software so
that you have all the tools you need for device management and
monitoring in one convenient interface.
With Team’s powerful automation tools, you can spend less
time gathering and more time analyzing the information
generated by your devices. When something happens, whether
it’s a relay trip, system fault, or security notification, Team is
ready to help with continuous background monitoring and
reporting. This ensures the data are there when you need them
to help discover root cause, maintain records for regulatory
compliance, and keep your system running at peak efficiency.

Team is a licensed software tool that you install and configure within QuickSet to
seamlessly integrate analysis and reporting into your design and commissioning
workflow.

QUICKSET + TEAM
Team is a convenient plug-in that operates as a tool within
QuickSet. If you are already familiar with
QuickSet, you’ll feel at ease when configuring Team. The
combined user interface means all the tools to meet your configuration needs are in one location.
ac SELerator
In QuickSet, you will primarily use the Device Manager tool to
configure collection settings and view event information gathered
by Team. Using the device connection information you define in
Device Manager, Team can automatically collect and store the
specific types of reports and events you require.
After configuration, Team runs as a set
of Microsoft ® Windows ® background
services that continuously collect data
from configured devices. All the collected data are stored in a convenient
SQL database, called the ac SEL erator
Database, so that the data are ready to
view when you need them.
INSTALLATION CATERED TO
YOUR NEEDS
Team installation is flexible to meet the
specific requirements of your organization.
Install Team on a single master station or
separately at each substation to provide a
complete event data collection solution.
In addition, you can gain even more
flexibility by taking advantage of SEL
equipment already on your system.
For example, the SEL-3530 Real-Time
Automation Controller (RTAC) speeds up
event notification by alerting Team when
a new event appears. Team can also collect security logs from the SEL-3620
Ethernet Security Gateway to assist in
protecting your system. Integrating these
devices with Team helps you optimize
your system and create a custom monitoring and analysis solution.
Team works with
multiple devices
in a variety of
configurations to
meet your system
needs.

ACCELERATE EVENT ROOT-CAUSE ANALYSIS
A big incident, like a tornado, can result
in numerous events across a system.
Team automatically and efficiently collects and groups hundreds of event
reports from multiple devices for quick
event analysis and to support regulatory
compliance efforts. Team can even email
event details to subscribed users.
EVENT REPORTS AND VIEWER
Whenever an event occurs, an SEL relay
generates and stores an event report. By
setting up a job in Team, you can retrieve
the event data from each device and
store them in the central ac SELerator
6
Database for viewing and analysis. Event reports can then
be grouped and associated with specific incidents, such as a
windstorm, and the built-in filter options enable selection and
fast analysis of event data.
Predefined jobs for SEL devices make report collection easy,
and multiple devices can be assigned jobs in a single step.
Team can collect a variety of event report file types, including
SEL CEV, COMTRADE, and GE Modbus®. Team can also export
any event data in COMTRADE format for further analysis, as
well as event summaries in spreadsheet, HTML, and other
formats.
Oscillographic event data are beneficial for monitoring the
system, fault analysis, and troubleshooting purposes. With
the Viewer tool, you can quickly review oscillographic data and
identify important events by type, device, location, or timeline.
EVENT TIMELINE VIEWER
Quickly identify events using the Event
Timeline Viewer. Hover over the flags to find
the fault trigger time and fault currents.
The Viewer integrates seamlessly with advanced event analysis
tools, including offering direct access to ac SELerator Analytic
Assistant® Software.
of information during fault analysis and root-cause determination because they provide a time-stamped record of a
device’s state changes.
Quick visualization is increasingly important as more and more
data become available. Team’s built-in Event Timeline tool provides a live view of incoming event files while enabling you to
browse through the data. For greater organization and simplicity, the events in the timeline viewer are also color-coordinated
based on the type of event. This additional perspective can
reveal trends that aren’t otherwise obvious.
Team can collect SOE data from an SEL RTAC or any Teamconfigurable relay or meter. Once the SOE data are collected
and stored in the ac SELerator Database, Team offers powerful
viewing and filtering tools for turning these data into useful
information.
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS (SOE) DATA AND VIEWER
In addition to oscillographic event reports, SOE data—i.e.,
Sequential Events Recorder (SER) data—are a key source
The SOE Viewer is capable of accessing events from several
different relays at the same time. SOE data at the device level
can be useful, but the ability to view the data from every device
in the system at once is beneficial for detailed analysis. In
addition, SOE recording enables you to measure performance
by comparing time stamps between multiple devices, which
can show overall system operation.

IMPORT LOAD PROFILE DATA FROM SEL METERS
When serving a large metered area,
such as a dense industrial zone,
load profile data containing energy,
demand, voltage, current, harmonic,
and frequency trends can offer useful
quality and billing information. Team
Profile provides automatic collection
and viewing of these data, which you can
use to create and define any number of
reports with Team’s reporting tools.

TEAM MICROSOFT EXCEL® TEMPLATES
The Team-customized Microsoft Excel spreadsheet templates
offer a familiar worksheet to access metering data and perform
data analysis. Each template has a configuration sheet with the
necessary parameters to select the data you want to retrieve
from the acSELerator Database for your reporting purposes.
Team LDP Excel Template
Use the load profile (LDP) template to either import data from
a single metering point into a new sheet or aggregate data from
multiple metering points.
VSSI
Team VSSI Excel Template
Voltage sag, swell, and interruption
(VSSI) data provide useful information
for analysis. With summary and detailed
VSSI data collection options, Team
retrieves, translates, and stores the VSSI
report in the ac SELerator Database. The
detailed report includes a record of each
VSSI value, which can be used for postdisturbance graphing of data.
Use the VSSI template to import either summary or detailed
VSSI data from one metering point into a new sheet.
REDUCE COSTS
Automatic data collection vastly improves
efficiency by eliminating the time spent
in the field manually collecting data from
devices. To streamline the data collection process, Team automatically connects
to any configured device, identifies new
reports, downloads and stores the information, and much more. Without Team,
these tasks would have to be performed
one step at a time by an on-site technician—potentially increasing the time that
machines are down or customers are
without power. Automating this process in
Team not only saves time and money, but
leaves more time to analyze events so you
can get to root cause sooner.
TRANSMISSION FAULT LOCATION
Accurate transmission line fault location
with minimal delay means utilities and
cooperatives spend less time locating
the fault and restoring service. Most of
these companies today rely on the fault
location information they receive from
digital protective relays or other intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) that use
local or single-ended measurements.
To increase accuracy, Team Transmission
Fault Location (TFL) uses a two-terminal
fault location method based on event
information that relays collect at the
transmission line’s end terminals. When
a fault occurs, Team TFL receives timestamped event reports from IEDs or
digital fault recorders (DFRs) at either
terminal of a transmission line, checks
to see if the events are associated with
any of the configured transmission
lines, time-aligns the event records, and
executes the two-terminal fault location
algorithm. It then displays the computed
fault location and, if configured, sends the
results via email to subscribed users.

SECURITY
SEL security products record valuable
data that you can use to maintain the
integrity and security of your system.
Just like with event reports, Team helps
you spend less time gathering these data
by automating the collection and organization process.
Team works with SEL security and automation solutions, including the
SEL RTAC, SEL-3025 Serial Shield™, and
SEL-3620 Ethernet Security Gateway,
so that you have up-to-date information
for your entire system in one place. For
example, with security logs that Team
collects from the SEL-3620, you can
immediately see who is attempting to
access devices on your system and when.
NEVER LOSE
EVENT DATA
Some Team installations involve a single
master station, while others include
separate installations at multiple locations. However you have your system
set up, data backup is important—and
Team Sync is designed to meet every
customer’s needs with stability and high
performance.
Team Sync is a Microsoft Windows service
that runs in the background and pushes
data to another station on demand or
at set intervals. Backup your data by
replicating the acSELerator Database into
designated archive servers. Synchronize
data by delivering up-to-date information
between several Team services,regardless
of the location.
Team Sync is a safe, effective, and
cost-saving option for automated data
redundancy and transport. Users can
select the synchronizing frequency and
method to suit their network bandwidth.
To ensure accuracy, Team Sync validates
that all reports are successfully archived.
