Application Outcomes
Protection Schemes
Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) monitor and help protect electrical distribution systems with all required features, including:
-
Thermal overload protection
-
Generator protection
-
Transformer protection
-
Arc flash protection
Automation Schemes
-
Fast Self-Healing: detects, isolates and restores the power in MV open loop electrical topologies in less than 300 ms.
-
Automatic Transfer Switch / Power Transfer Switch: automatically switches to backup power in the event of a fault on the primary source.
-
Load-shedding: keeps critical loads connected while shedding non-critical ones to balance generation and consumption.
-
Load-restore: limits the inrush current while reconnecting the loads by sequentially reclosing power transformers.
-
Emergency Genset Capacity Management: balances the emergency genset's capacity with the energy consumption according to the available power.
Live Data Display
-
Animated Single-Line Diagrams (SLD) display the status of the system with color animation to distinguish sections with and without a power supply.
Events and Alarms
-
System events and alarms are displayed in chronological order with sorting and filtering capabilities.
Trends
-
Real-time and historical data can be viewed on a trend viewer.
Remote Control
-
Select-before-operate commands are available from SCADA HMI.
Cloud-Based Analytics and Service
EcoStruxure Service Plan powered by EcoStruxure Asset Advisor provides remote monitoring, asset management consulting and on-site maintenance activities with recommendations from our Schneider Electric service experts.
It includes:
-
Continuous asset monitoring and alarms with remote notifications in the event of electrical asset condition anomalies
-
Predictive analytics to help determine remaining equipment lifetime and other health indicators
-
Condition-based asset maintenance triggered by a Maintenance Index
