Time: 6:00 pm
Location: Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc
Topic: Public Service Electric and Gas Company - Implementation of a 13kV Distribution Automation Advanced Loop Scheme Using the SEL-651R
Speaker: Derek Conner
In conjunction with: IEEE Power & Energy Society
Maps and details:
Please join the Charlotte Section of the IEEE Power Engineer Society for a practical case study presentation of an automated distribution feeder reconfiguration scheme developed for Public Service Electric and Gas Company. With the ever increasing importance of electricity in everyone’s life, excellent service reliability is no longer a luxury in the eyes of consumers but an expectation. In this day and age of digital everything, momentary outages or “blinks” are perceived by customers as equally disruptive as short outages. In response to this, PSE&G set out to install an automated feeder reconfiguration scheme that not only minimizes the duration and number of customers impacted by an outage due to a fault but also reduces the number of customers experiencing a blink for the fault and subsequent switching. This presentation will examine the design and implementation of the Advanced Loop Scheme implemented by the utility. Specific settings and operational details of th!
e scheme will be given. Additionally, a review of the operational history highlights the impact the scheme has had on the reliability of the utility’s distribution network.
This presentation will be given by Derek Conner who currently works as a Protection Engineer in the SEL Engineering Services - Charlotte Branch.
