Raw Data Capture

Classification

Planning, Reporting, Trending & Alarms


4 Layers of Analytical Processing for Improved

Accuracy & Grid Intelligence

Raw waveforms, fault current, power quality, GPS, conductor temperature, voltage, interval load data

Grid events classified: sags, swells, momentaries, line disturbances, trunk fault, adjacent phase fault, cap bank, hydraulic recloser operations

Load balance & technical loss reports, customizable event reports show trends on each circuit (e.g.: seasonal, time of day…)

Outages e.g.: blown fuses, permanent faults Grid conditions analyzed: e.g. recloser operations

How Does Predictive Grid Analytics Work?

Real-Time Detection “Forensic” Analysis

Predict the Future Reduce, Prevent & Avoid Future Outages

Customer-Driven Innovation

• Sags • Swells • Harmonics • Momentaries • Line Disturbances • Adjacent phase faults • Cap bank • Switches • Reclosers

New Rules Developed Today: • Blown fuse on lateral • Permanent fault • Grid operations

Future: • Asset Mgmt rules • Equip failure • More outages

Sensor Mgmt System


Waveforms of Fault Current are Captured, Classified and Studied:
