Live Network LV phase and feeder identifier

DESCRIPTION

Low Voltage connectivity data (relation from MV / LV transformer with end user) results critical for the correct management of electrical distribution networks.

The use of this information in a GIS solution allows calculation of transfomer load balances, faults, preventive maintenance task planning, etc., and at end, guarantees the quality of electrical supply.

In order to cope with Electric Utilities needs, Merytronic has designed the ILF G2 and the ILF G2 PRO.

Why connectivity data?

Taking maximum benefits from Smart Grid technology on electric distribution networks, pushes electric companies to make sure their Geographic Information System (GIS) is prepared for new challenges.

This means GIS data has to be ready with updated information, both during deployment and full system working stages.

The lack of an updated digital model of the electric system will limit the overall effectiveness of the smart grid if GIS is to be the heart of it.

If the system does not have an exact correlation of the customer premises and electric system, any hope of automation and selfhealing of the network will be lost.

What can a Smart Grid do with an updated LV GIS connectivity data?

• Simulate LV loads per transformer, feeder and phase.
• Detect LV technical and non-technical losses, measuring delivered energy by overall transformer, or even by a single phase per LV feeder, and comparing totals with aggregate meter readings (patent pending).
• Determine new customer’s connection points, depending on network availability, without making a specific study on the field, saving therefore time and money.
• Find critical network spots before any incident occurs.
• Generate fictitious network traces, knowing customer’s connectivity and geographic position.
• Spot network failure elements, by grouping customer’s incidents by connectivity link.
• Determine which customers to be notified before any programmed supply interruption is made.
• Identify exactly which customers need to be compensated due to power supply incidents.
