Digital Substations - Grid Resiliency
Ability to measure DC with Fiber Optic Current Sensors

Challenge Geomagnetic Induced Current (GIC)

– Geomagnetic Disturbances (GMD) from solar flares
results in direct current induced into the electric grid
– GMD event, GIC may cause transformer hot-spot
heating or damage, loss of Reactive Power sources,
increased Reactive Power demand, and misoperation,
the combination of which may result in voltage
collapse.
– Large Power Transformers at risk and neutral DC
measurements not adequate
– NERC TPL-007-2 requires vulnerability assessment of
their systems to a benchmark the “one-in-100-year”
GMD event
Solution Fiber Optic Current Sensor and ABB Relion 670 relay
are able to measure direct current in the line phases
– DC measurement to Alarm, Trip, send to SCADA
– Capable to payload the DC measurement into
synchrophasor PMU data

Digital Substations - Grid Resiliency
Greater immunity to EMP with Fiber Communications and Sensors

Challenge Electromagnetic pulse

– More research is required to fully understand the
impact of an E1 pulse on the protection, control and
automation system
– Electromagnetic disturbance E3 pulse behaves
similarly to Geomagnetic Impulses
– Copper connections to instrument transformers
(CT/VT) and breaker control act as an antenna in the
propagation

Benefit Fiber’s galvanic isolation reduces the effects of the

primary equipment to the protection and control

Digital twins

Digital twins

A digital twin is a complete and operational

virtual representation of an asset, subsystem or
system, combining digital aspects of how the
equipment is built with real-time aspects of how
it is operated and maintained. The capability to
refer to data stored in different places from one
common digital twin directory enables
simulation, diagnostics, prediction and other
advanced use cases.

What does this mean for utilities?
“Utility-izing” data

With the continued deployment of intelligent equipment,

utilities can collect and analyze far more data than ever before

This data can be utilized to identify the most critical assets

for repair and replace decisions, thereby reducing operations
save
and maintenance spending
10x
For example, predictive maintenance can save up to 10x more
than corrective maintenance and can mitigate catastrophic
failures that can cost as much as $25 million
more

Digital enterprise

A digital twin for the enterprise

A digital twin allows the consistent collection

and distribution of information across the
physical asset’s complete lifecycle to maximize
business outcomes and optimize performance.

The digital enterprise treats the entire

enterprise – inclusive of equipment, systems,
and business processes – as the asset and
applies these same concepts to maximize
business outcomes and optimize performance
of the operation as a whole.

This requires more than just a data warehouse,

but a purpose-built system to better model the
real world to drive these outcomes.

September 5, 2019 Slide 36

—
Stay safe with locational awareness

Challenge
Field workers are unaware if other crew members or contractors
are in the area, risking conflicting work

Current situation
Frequent calls to the back office
Risk management is single layered

Outcome
By seeing live locations of colleagues, field workers can:
– See when crews are in same area to avoid conflicting work
– Contact nearby colleagues for added risk mitigation or support

September 5, 2019 Slide 37

—
Extending the network model to the field

Challenge
When assessing an outage, if a breaker is locked out (for example),
field workers need to know downstream impacted circuit

Current situation
Frequent calls to the control room
Second-hand visibility of outage impacts

Outcome
– Enables field workers to trace downstream of an outage and see
the impacted circuit directly on their mobile device
– Empowers field workers with situational awareness
