Improved Outage Handling and Protection Many options are available today to assist with outages: • Outage Detection & Location: Provide better information to line
crews, customer service and operations. • Fault Investigation: Extract data easily to better recreate the source
of the fault. • Quicker Restoration: Reduce outage time for those who don’t
need to be affected by a fault. • Reduced Miscoordination: Consider reclosers which can address
miscoordination issues.

Coordinated Outage Management Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), together with SCADA and outage management systems (OMS), can also be used to locate permanent faults that result in outages
• SCADA detects fault current followed by current drop due to OCR operation.
• SCADA informs OMS of likely fault location. • OMS sends command to AMI to ping “bellwether”
meters at critical system junctions looking for an outage.
• OMS receives meter status from AMI indicating extent of outage.
• Operators use SCADA to isolate & restore other areas 4

Using Fault Location with DA – Example
Courtesy: Maquoketa Valley Electric Cooperative
• SCADA sees fault, highlights the line sections based on engineering model where fault could be located.
• AMI pings meters by sub/ckt/ph to determine extent of outage (green is on, red is out of power).
• 2-3 minutes later, know what is out of power.
• This case, knew that an OCR was out and the fault was located in highlighted region.
• Can even restore outages before members call.

Fault Location & Event History Incredibly valuable relay data that should be retrieved: • Fault Location: Operations Data – display in SCADA
- Fault type: line-ground, line-line, phases involved - Fault current - Fault time - Distance to fault
• Event History: Engineering Data – oscillography - ¼ cycle data from relay - All currents & voltages - 30 to 60 cycles of data around fault time - Analyze with relay/recloser vendors tool

Substation Relay Fault Data • First step is to get good fault data back from substation relays
– Direct communication with relays rather than through RTUs – Fault Currents have been used by many utilities to help line
crews find faults.

Benefits of Automated Restoration Best understood with an example: • Outage occurs on a feeder with 1,000 meters • Sequence of events without automation
– Detect outage (5 min) – Crews drive from home to office (30 min) – Crews drive from office to outage (30 min) – Crews sectionalize outage (15 min) – Crews repair fault (60 min)
• Sectionalizing reduces outage to 300 meters • Automation would allow operator to
sectionalize while crews are in transit.

Fault Handling & Restoration Steps Categories of Programs
• Substation Relays Fault Data: Getting information on fault type such as phases involved and fault currents can greatly aid in finding faults more quickly.
• Automating Feeder Equipment: The key to automating restoration is to upgrade feeder equipment so that it can provide important information and perform necessary operations.
• Operator Based Restoration: Once feeder devices are communicating with SCADA, operators can begin to assist crews, which can have significant improvements in reliability.
• Automating Restoration: Adding functionality to your SCADA to automate isolation and restoration is the ultimate step, though the improvement is incremental.

Feeder Equipment Template • IED reclosers automated to support restoration • Reconfigured to alternate protection profile or switch mode • Protection Impact:
- At least 1 IED needs to remain in protection mode with alternate TCC - Tied point profile needs to protect customers on feeding segment - Fuses more likely to blow on radial feeders

Equipment Requirements for Automating Restoration
15
Understand equipment impact for differing scenarios:
1. Isolating a Fault and Closing a Tie Point • Fault Detection: Recloser or Faulted Circuit Indicator • Isolation: Reclosers or Non-load break switches • Restoration: Reclosers or Non-load break switches
2. Balancing Load as Restoration Changes • Load Monitoring: Recloser or Faulted Circuit Indicator • Load Balancing: Load Break Switches
3. Impact on Protection Settings • In-line Hydraulic Reclosers: Settings for devices which
cannot be reconfigured need to be considered
© 2015 Power System Engineering, Inc.
Automating Switches • Typical recommendation is for reclosers at tie points to
isolate and avoid outage on unfaulted feeder • Load break and non-load break • Make best use of existing switches
– Motor operator (SEECO, Turner, …) – RTU – Faulted current indicators
• Determine fault for isolating • Monitor demand for load balancing

Fault Current Indicators • Get fault status and analog data and continuous current • Recommend DNP communication to bring directly into
SCADA. – Not a separate software for FCIs.
• Recommend private wireless communication – Cellular may not be reliable during outage.
• Consist of a base station / gateway and 3 FCIs

Example Restoration Plan • Distant area would be good to speed
restoration. • Could be beneficial for members
south of South Park. • Fault along Feeder 508-2 from
Fairplay would normally cause an outage to these members. – Fault would trip 3-phase hydraulic OCRs – Isolate from fault with S214 (verify no
fault seen here) – Close S239 to back feed from Hartsel
substation. – Intelligent recloser on feeder 105-3 has
adaptable protection settings and would protection rest of Hartsel substation from fault when closing S239.

Example Restoration Plan • Potentially save 1-2 hours of outage
for several hundred members. • Equipment Upgrades of ~$43,000
– Motor Operator and FCI for S214 – Motor Operator and FCI for S239 – Communications for Nova TS
• Additional work to integrate – Engineering to verify protection and
regulator settings. – Program ACE RTUs

Decentralized FDIR Overview • Roles
– Devices communicate directly and make decisions – SCADA Operator monitors and override if necessary.
21
• Requires common devices – Reclosers must have
same decision making algorithm.
• Most appropriate when deployed for targeted restoration areas. – Groups of devices
making local decisions
© 2015 Power System Engineering, Inc.
SCADA to a Distribution Management System • Centralized FDIR expands SCADA into a DMS • SCADA
– Controlling your substations – Monitor line currents – Alarms indicating breaker trip, etc.
• Distribution Management System
– Control your distribution system – Locate faults on distribution lines – Modeling your feeders – Feeder voltage prediction
(network stability) – Feeder voltage management (VVO)
22

Modeling Automated Restoration • The “model” is the set of information that the software uses to
make decisions. • It impacts what decisions the software can make.
23
Full Electrical Model Device Parameter Model
• Easier to configure. • Can dynamically adjust load to
allowable current levels. • Cannot predict end-of-line voltage.
• Import WindMil or other engineering model.
• Supports dynamic load balancing and end of line voltage prediction.
• Based on load prediction.
© 2015 Power System Engineering, Inc.
Operator Interaction • Key aspect to a centralized FDIR is the ability for
operators to actively participate in the restoral process. – Verify Switching Orders – Red-line system changes – Planning & Operator Simulation
• Indicate Faults and observe switching recommendations from system.
• Perform switching and model system voltages under various loads.
– Crew Interaction • Applying Hot Line Tags when crews are working on line
segments. 24

Centralized & Decentralized Considerations • Goals
- Operation interaction: control, approve or monitor - Speed of restoration: minutes or seconds - Model-based or parameter-based system - Multi-vendor recloser support
• Situation
- Speed of communications - Distance between reclosers and coordination - Capabilities of your existing SCADA system - Coordination with your power supplier

Switching Example – System Diagram • Bolt-on configuration
– SCADA Master – Yukon Feeder Automation processing feeder information – Preferred in that YFA is only processing restoration information and
not all switch diagnostic and status information

Safety & Automated Restoration Hot-Line Tags:
• Lineman or SCADA operator places a hot-line tag on a recloser • Crew safety is the primary goal for workers on attached lines • Recloser changes to “single-shot to lock-out” • Automation changes:
- No restoration on any circuits attached to a device with a hot-line tag - SCADA cannot close an open device which has a hot-line tag on it
Apply HLT
No Restoration Fault Occurs
SCADA can’t close
Before Restoration Limited Restoration 27

Distribution Automation Summary Outage Handling • Goals:
– Improved Operational Efficiency – Improved Customer Satisfaction
• Understand what restoration time frame desired • Consider capabilities of current SCADA • Consider capabilities of reclosers and feeder switches • Communications available
Secure Communications • Communication performance determines DA performance • Fit the technology with the application and environment • Securing your DA network restricts access to your entire system • Get the benefits built into protocols
