Conducting root cause analysis of incidents in the electrical grid is essential in understanding the underlying dynamics of the system, reducing the risk of reoccurring issues, and improving resilience. However, this process can be challenging and time-consuming. To overcome this, Finnish DSO Vakka-Suomen Voima (VSV) implemented dLab’s dInsight Analytics Platform, which significantly ...
The digitization of Bjäre Kraft’s power grid: sustainable development Bjäre Kraft delivers electricity to approximately 14,000 households in the beautiful Bjäre Peninsula in northwestern Skåne. They are committed to promoting sustainable development within their power grid. As early as 2016, they installed dLab in Förslöv to make the power grid ...
Scope: Replacement control system, switchgear, and HPU. Black start capability. Located in a small town in the Adirondak mountains in upstate NY, this hydroelectric plant was built in 1904. ...
New Power-Tronics exciters replaced old and troublesome static exciters. The existing switchgear and wicket gate operators were reused. As is typical, PHT designed and assembled the hardware and control cabinets for this project at our shop in NC, and then traveled to MA for installation in late 2018. ...
Scope: Replacement control system, switchgear, excitation, wicket gate operators.. Located in Massachusetts, this hydroelectric plant traces its history back to the late 1800s. ...
Down a spiral staircase, the middle level holds the generator switchgear, exciter, and most of the controls and protection. The bottom level has the turbine-generator, HPU, and auxiliaries. ...
Standards must evolve to ensure safer and efficient MV installations Almost all products people use in their daily lives - such as electronics, cars, medical devices, and home energy systems - were designed to meet designated industry standards. For the consumer, this means that these products meet both the safety and performance requirements. This even more true for MV installations ...
Authored by Raghu (Jayaraman) Raghuraman, Senior Vice President, Digital Engineering & Technical Debt at Schneider Electric. It takes time, precision, and dedication to create a reliable and robust IoT solution that would satisfy very specific requirements of industrial customers. As you can read in the blog of my product design colleagues, one of the best practices to create accurate and ...
Globally, every industry is accelerating decarbonization initiatives. Buildings and factories are becoming more electrified by replacing fossil-fuel-based heating and processes. As more renewable energy is progressively added to the power grid, the grid itself must take steps to decarbonize. The SF6 greenhouse gas currently has a unique use exemption in insulating medium-voltage (MV) electrical ...
If you’ve been following my blog series, you may have noticed a common thread: data drives effective decision-making. Whether you are acting on sustainability, energy efficiency, electrical resilience, safety, or any other aspect of improving operations, data is the feedstock of analytics. And the analytic tools that convert data into actionable insights are getting smarter. In a previous ...
In my last post, I talked about the difficulties faced by facility teams in keeping critical power facilities running safely, reliably, efficiently, and compliant with regulations. We looked at the many hidden risks that make these goals even more challenging. A digitally-connected power distribution system gives you the deep insights you need so you’re no longer ‘working ...
Data plays a crucial role in enabling all those applications. This applies to switchgear and controlgear, where the collected data can help improve the safety and availability of electric distribution systems and processes, leading to better energy ...
With an increasing move towards renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind and biogas, there is a need for many more individual connections to the national electrical grid, which means the need for more switchgears. Switchgears contain a combination of fuses, switches, circuit breakers, etc., and can be used to switch on or off certain pieces of equipment, or, ...
In particular, sharing of system components such as switchgears, transformers, wiring and for DC-coupled plants, shared inverters, reduce the cost of co-located projects, NREL said. ...
