Provide secure and reliable communications infrastructure across 9 primary substation and 200

secondary substations

The communications network will transport both monitoring and control traffic for all the FALCON

intervention techniques

The Internet Protocol (IP) will be used across the WAN and all techniques will deploy Ethernet

and IP enabled equipment

The communications infrastructure should deployed on a private WiMax Infrastructure that is in

the control of WPD

The Substation will incorporate an IEC61850 Ethernet station bus, the process bus uses

hardwired connections

No additional fibre or pilot wires can be installed

GPRS is not considered sufficiently reliable to be used as a primary access mechanism or as a

• Current Asset rating

• 50% redundancy is built into many of todays electricity networks to ensure continued operation during a failure.

• Many/most Medium 11kV network as not monitored

• Some assets are under utilised, some are over utilised

• Today static ratings are used for certain periods

• Renewable generation is demanding increased capacity

• Dynamic Asset Rating

• Monitoring voltage and current as well as environmental measurements is key

• Correctly rate assets based on measurements

• Rate the assets and system based on current grid and environmental conditions

• Control renewable generation to maximise asset usage (dynamic Line rating)

• Control plant (transformer pre loading) to maximise asset life

Features and Specifications

LightHouse

Medium Voltage

Sensor (MV)

Tollgrade offers LightHouse®, the next generation

real-time distribution monitoring solution

providing utilities actionable intelligence and

visibility into their network.

Our flexible solution consists of highly accurate

and intelligent Medium Voltage (MV) sensors

deployed in the field, and powerful analytics

software distributed in the network. Tollgrade’s

Sensor Management System (SMS) analytics

software supports utilities in diagnosing network

events, and accurately tracks system condition

information.

LightHouse provides the visibility utilities

require for:

■ Real-Time Fault Detection and Location

■ Asset Management

■ Vegetation Management

■ Continuous Three-Phase Load Monitoring

and Balancing

■ Power Quality

■ Line Sag

LightHouse MV Sensor The LightHouse Medium Voltage (MV) sensors

are easy to install and offer multiple advantages.

The sensors clamp directly onto the overhead

conductors, are inductively powered, store

energy without a battery, and maintain

communication in the event of an outage.

Our accurate MV sensors support multiple smart-

grid applications and are software defined, so

utilities do not need to invest in point products for

specific applications. LightHouse gives utilities

the future-safe, agnostic solution they require.

LightHouse MV Features

Flexible Communications Backhaul

Our MV sensors support leading wireless

communications and automatically join the

backhaul network when activated. Our unique

agnostic approach allows us to integrate into the

existing utility infrastructure, or send information

directly back to our SMS software at the utility

head-end.

Low Current Operations

Our proprietary technology enables MV sensors

to operate at 6 amps, without the use of a battery.

Waveform Capture

LightHouse MV sensors capture waveforms

before, during and after events. Waveforms are

sent wirelessly in near real-time or stored for later

analysis.

Energy Storage without Battery

The LightHouse MV sensor is inductively

powered, and uses a super cap instead of a

maintenance prone battery to ensure cost

effective operations.

User Defined Thresholds and Parameters

Our solution is completely software-defined,

allowing users to customize their preferences by

setting their own thresholds and parameters for

events, rules, alarms and communications.

Key Measurements Include:

■ Nominal Current

■ Surge and Fault Current

■ Electric Field Strength

■ Wire Temperature

■ Harmonics

Dynamic Asset RatingHigh Level Comms Architecture

Hosted by

• Traditional 11kv Open Ring Topology

• Two of more routes from the primary substation to a ring of secondary substations

• This is an open ring with the open point being ideally at the null point

• Each secondary substation is connected to one supply route

• However each secondary substation has two potential sources of supply as closing the switch provides two routes back to the primary substation

• Automatic Load Transfer

• Dynamically alter the number of secondary substations that are fed from each supply route

• Closing the open switch and then remotely operating switches introduced between substations

• This allows load to be transferred from one supply route to another automatically

• PMUs used at assess the effect on the Grid

Hosted by

• Sectionalisers used to control the configuration of the Ring

• PMU being used to monitor both primary and secondary substations

• Load Transfer is automated using DMS. This may however have a element of manual intervention

Automatic Load TransferHigh Level Comms Architecture

Hosted by

• Similar to Automated Load Transfer

• Utilises the properties of the 11kV ring

• Each secondary substation on an open ring circuit has two potential sources of supply

• Rather than shifting load operationally between routes using switches, the meshed network is a passive solution in which a permanent closed ring is created giving a virtual null point.

• A set of “protection zones” need to be designed and implemented to ensure that the network can operate safely

• Power flow is improved as the mesh allows the current to choose the path of least resistance

Hosted by

• Close the open point, have a virtual null

• New graded protection using directional overcurrent

• Protection schemes choice driven by communications availability (WiMAX - 40ms!)

• Protection Scheme:

• Directional overcurrent with Blocking (200 ms requirement)

• Current differential (to test) (10ms requirement)
