Which SmartGrid challenges are you facing?
Do you lack visibility and control of your low voltage power network?
Amplex StartGrid adds intelligent modules throughout the network to help you pinpoint losses, streamline maintenance and locate problem areas.
Your current scenario:
- Your HV and MV networks are fully automated, but you have no knowledge of what’s going on in the LV grid.
- Your existing substation equipment is outdated.
- You are losing energy, but cannot determine the exact location.
- You have no tools to predict the next power outage.
- You cannot monitor the power quality in your network.
- You are making connectivity changes in your LV network, but updating them to the control room is time consuming and tedious.
- You think adding intelligence in all your substations is too expensive.
- You rely on estimations and cannot accurately determine consumption at each major node.
We get your problems:
- You want to minimize blackouts in your LV network.
- You need to streamline operations and maintenance and be able to identify losses.
Our recommendations:
For an automated LV network that you can monitor and control, we recommend these components:
- Smart meters in substations and, if desired, at lower nodes (e.g. feeders/distribution cabinets)
- Smart circuit breakers
- Communications modules for multiple carriers
- Interface devices
- Central server for data gathering, communication with end devices, central database, GUI and integration to other systems.
- PDA deployment tool
