Medium Voltage Distribution grid automation
The new big challenge for the grid automationAdvantages of our solution
- iRTU and iGW devices are able to handle multiple communication protocols to main station/control center (IEC60870-5-104, IEC60870-5-101, DNP3.0, Modbus)
- Ability to adapt to different communication media. iRTU and iGW products are available with built-in GPRS or PSTN modems
- iControl Control Center Edition is prepared to manage the communication and data sent by thousands of RTUs from different vendors
Solution description
Once the transmission and HV distribution grids are automated, the next step to improve the grid performances and reduce dramatically the outages, is the medium voltage distribution grid automation, with levels ranging from 33kV to 6kV. But the medium voltage grid automation has represented a big challenge for many utilities, as it is less critical and huge, with thousands of substations, transformers and feeders.
The challenge is to find solutions adapted to more remote places with less prepared facilities (without temperature control and less maintenance), which should use communications networks with heterogeneous medias and lower performances (bandwidth, safety and reliability) compared to the ones used in the high voltage substations.
Medium Voltage Distribution Grid Automation Products
Medium Voltage RTUs
Intelligent, flexible and scalable RTUs (Remote Telecontrol Units) for MV grid automation. They can be equipped with built-in GPRS or PSTN modems, and support standard protocols including IEC61850, IEC60870-5-104, DNP3.0, Modbus, DLMS, etc.
