Kalkitech Smart Grid Solutions

Introduction

A smart grid in simple terms is an Electricity distribution network that combines a bi-directional power flow network integrated with a bi-directional information flow (communication) network in such a manner as to facilitate various optimization and control features. Some of the distinguishing features mentioned in the NIST framework for Smart Grid includes:

• Increased use of digital information and controls technology to improve reliability, security, and efficiency of the electric grid;

• Dynamic optimization of grid operations and resources, with full cyber security;

• Deployment and integration of distributed resources and generation, including renewable resources;

• Development and incorporation of demand response, demand-side resources, and energy-efficiency resources;

• Deployment of smart technologies for metering, communications concerning grid operations and status, and distribution automation;

• Integration of smart appliances and consumer devices;

• Deployment and integration of advanced electricity storage and peak-shaving technologies, including plug-in electric and hybrid electric vehicles, and thermal-storage air conditioning;

• Provision to consumers of timely information and control options;

• Development of standards for communication and interoperability of appliances and equipment connected to the electric grid, including the infrastructure serving the grid

Kalkitech Wide Area Monitoring System (WAMS)

Phasor data gives real-time representation of system state with high confidence in comparison with SCADA measurements. This data can be effectively used for improving system stability and thereby preventing black-outs of an entire national grid. Kalkitech solution is based on IEEE C-37.118 .This standard addresses the definition of a synchronized phasor, time synchronization, application of time tags, method to verify measurement compliance with the standard, and message formats for communication with a phasor measurement unit (PMU) and Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC)

Key Features• Protocol conversion capability(IEC-104,ICCP,IEC-61850)

• Integrated Applications :Oscillation monitoring System

• Integrated Thick and web clients

• Data compression ratio Up to 1/32

• High resolution online trending(20 msec )

• Network connection diagnostic features

• Customizable development environments

• Alarm and Event management system

• Hardware Independant Architecture

Kalkitech Distribution Automation & Management Systems

Distribution networks are generally distributed over a larger geographical area feeding many customers.In order to isolate transient & permanent faults, utilities installs auto re-closure, sectionalizers, Ring main Units (RMU) and Fault Pass Indicators (FPI) in their network. However, the fault information is not available to utility instantly and require manual patrolling to locate the faults and to analyse it. In addition to this utilities do not have proper mechanisms to store information collected for proper planning of the future networks.

Kalkitech Distribution Automation (DA) gives a cost effective mechanism where setting up of complete DMS system is not cost effective and require a remote monitoring of its critical equipments. Usually DA is always considered as subset of DMS system.

Kalkitech Enterprise Integration & Energy Efficiency Solutions

Kalkitech Enterprise Integration & Energy Efficiency solution is based on its ELTRIX Energy Optimization platform. ELTRIX software, through a number of domain modules enables intelligent operations of power system and ensures optimization of business and operational objectives under real-time constraints.Electrical Utilities in today’s world face variety of business and operational challenges, which are dynamic in nature. The magnitude and complexity of most of these problems cannot be solved through thumb rule calculations by an experienced operator. They are un-manageable by traditional control and monitoring applications either.

Recent decades have witnessed much advancement in the field of advanced process control, artificial intelligence and optimization technologies. A variety of algorithms including classical and heuristic based techniques is available to model and predict non-linear and discrete behaviors and optimize complex objective functions. Eltrix is a platform in which these advanced algorithms are used to solve and optimize various domain level problems in power system. Eltrix functions in providing expert level decision support guidance to the operators, to that of solving complex optimization problems online. In certain cases this further gets extended to the level of closed loop control function for steering the system through a required trajectory for achieving the goals specified in the objective function while not violating the constraints.

Eltrix covers the decision support requirements within Generation, Transmission and Distribution sub domains through a number of domain modules. Each of these domain modules leverages the capabilities of Eltrix as a platform and provides an overall benefit.
