Solution: Overhead Nu-Lec Feeder Automation

Main drivers

• Rapid load growth driven by economic prosperity
• Outage cost to utilities: revenue losses, damage to utility hardware, generator costs, customer satisfaction, regulator penalties
• Outage cost to customers: plant damage, production time losses
• General requirement/expectation for Power Quality improvements

Value Proposition

• Outage costs divided by 10 by automating the overhead network
• Network is 10 times more productive:
• Fault location 20 times faster
• Restoration of supply 10 times faster
• Network automation is very scalable and flexible (gradual introduction) according to evolving user needs
• Implementation is easier, more flexible and lower cost than a full SCADA project
• Solution deployment is up to 10 times faster than full SCADA

Differentiation factors

• Cost effective solution
• Flexible architectures
• Complete overhead automation solution
• Suitable for new installations or the retrofit of existing networks
