Monitor Your Distribution Grid

Transcription

1 Connected Energy Grid Management Improve reliability measures (SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI) Focus reliability improvements where they are needed most Improve volt/var control Optimize voltage for CVR Reduce outage time and minimize revenue loss Measure power quality at renewables interconnects Better asset protection Monitor Your Distribution Grid The solution expands monitoring throughout the distribution network supporting advanced distribution automation. Distribution circuits can now be continuously monitored, providing valuable information on the condition of the grid. This information can be used for a variety of operational needs such as improving volt/var control, optimizing voltage for CVR energy savings, restoring service more quickly by locating line faults, measuring power quality at interconnects with renewables customers and protecting assets on congested circuits. is a turnkey software, sensor and communications solution. The power of the solution is in a flexible rules engine that captures and executes utility-defined business rules over a potentially high volume of data flowing in from power line instrumentation. The rules ensure that the most significant and relevant information is conveyed to the grid operators in a timely manner allowing operations personnel to quickly assess and respond to grid conditions. Specific events can be triggered by rules observing patterns and exceptions in the data. Such events can also be utilized by other Connected Energy smart grid solutions such as Demand Management and DER Management. BPL Global Products & Services CONNECTED ENERGY GRID MANAGEMENT

Set Operating Rules 1 Continuous monitoring of RMS current, voltage, harmonics, real power and reactive power. Take Corrective Action Assess Impact Monitor the Network Investigate Alerts Utility-defined fault parameters and alarm levels through our flexible rules engine that ensures the most significant and relevant information is conveyed to operations. 4 Analyze Failures Geographic views of the sensors and devices in your distribution grid. Near-real time fault detection and location through sensors that provide fault monitoring and alarms on MV and LV lines. is the high-definition condition-assessment system for the distribution network. Unified management of multi-vendor devices utilizing your current distribution sensors and devices as well as our intelligent sensors that monitor current, voltage and power quality.

3 Software The Connected Energy Grid Management software provides utility operations with valuable information on the condition of the distribution grid. This information can be used for a variety of operational needs such as improving volt/var control, optimizing voltage for CVR energy savings, restoring service more quickly by locating line faults, measuring power quality at interconnects with renewables customers and protecting assets on congested circuits. Monitor the the Network Central distribution operations can easily see the extent and location of faults, dispatching line crews for timely and cost effective restoration. Electrical Network Monitoring Integration with your current GIS offering geographical views of sensors and devices Multi-driver network management system designed for SNMP v3, DNP3, ModBus, & any proprietary protocol Multi-layer views of devices directly on the grid map via latitude and longitude coordinates WMS Server Compatible v1.1.1 Map zoom and drill down features Manage Prioritized Alerts Alerts Alerts based on fully configurable rules and priority levels are logged for investigation and corrective action by distribution operations.

4 Key Features Key Features: Set Operating Rules The flexible rules engine captures and executes utilitydefined business rules screening large amounts of data flowing in from power line instrumentation. The software is pre-integrated with lightweight line mounted sensors that offer functionality at a variety of price/performance points Any device that is seen can be used as a sensor by the rules engine The rules ensure that what you consider the most significant and relevant information is conveyed to your grid operators in a timely manner Specific events can trigger alerts to operators and response by controlled devices or integrated applications Analyze Failures Analyze alarm notifications for voltage and current disturbances, asset loading conditions and power metrics (including harmonic distortions as well as real and reactive power). Patterns of exceptions are observed in the data and notifications are sent to grid operators and integrated applications for specialized event handling

5 Hardware Grid Grid Sensors: Sensors: offers unified management of multi-vendor, devices, utilizing your current distribution sensors and devices as well as our intelligent sensors that can monitor current, voltage and power quality. Our intelligent sensors can provide fault and asset management through the following features: Current (for each phase) Voltage (for each phase) Power (active, reactive and direction) Distance to fault (short-circuit fault measured as impedance) Earth-fault indication Analog inputs Actionable Information Data 2016 BPL Global, Ltd.
