Guía para la modernización de la protección diferencial de barras en una subestación de 500 kV. Aplicando Scrum

Abstract

The "Guide for the modernization of bus differential protection in a 500 kV substation. Applying Scrum" is a monograph that presents a project to modernize the bus differential relay (ANSI 87B) in an electrical substation using the agile Scrum methodology. The authors propose to apply Scrum to improve the efficiency and control of the project, minimizing interruptions to guarantee stability in the electrical service network in Colombia. The content of the document includes an introduction to the electrical power system and the importance of substations, a business case analysis, the planning and execution of Sprints, and the management and control of the project using tools such as the Burndown Chart. The activities and roles within the Scrum team are detailed, as well as the user stories and technical acceptance criteria. The project is structured in 10 Sprints, each lasting 8 days, and focuses on the installation and testing of the new bus differential protection equipment. The Scrum methodology allows for iterative and incremental execution, optimizing times and costs, ensuring stability for the continuity of the electrical service given the importance of a substation of this voltage level for the Colombian electrical system. The conclusions highlight the viability of applying this type of agile methodologies in electrical infrastructure modernization projects, highlighting the flexibility and efficiency that Scrum offers in the management of complex projects.
