The Balancing Act of Automating and Monitoring in electric distribution grids
IEEE PES Baltimore & Technical Presentation on August 29, 2023 from 12 PM to 1 PM Eastern Time. Please join us for this IEEE PES event and feel free to share the event with your network. Registration will be open until the night before the event. The virtual meeting information will be sent and emailed to registrants of the event.
Electric underground distribution system is generally more reliable than overhead because it is not exposed to the severe weather events round the year. However, it is still prone to failures from corrosion, mechanical issues, animal intrusion to name a few. While the number of failures is typically much less the duration of outages are much longer when compared to that for overhead. What is the best approach to minimize impact of an outage? Automate and implement Fault location, isolation, and service restoration (FLISR) system wide or retrofit monitoring or do both? In this presentation we will examine the various approaches.
