Abstract

The case described is a project managed by Viesgo Distribución in collaboration with Ingeteam Power Technology that pretends to provide remote access and management tools for all the more than 8,000 MV/LV package stations existing currently in the Viesgo grid.The MV/LV Transformer Substations Monitoring pilot project handles the supply and installation of hardware devices and centralized software to monitor the behaviour of 200 MV/LV Secondary Substations (with 6,000 residential homes):Low cost devices contained in an small cabinet ready to be installed by own personnelEasily configurable and adaptable to increase or change the functionality; add more parameters to check, accept different commands, implement new protocols…Capable to integrate and use the existing devices and communications infrastructure. Based in well-known technologies; 3G/4G, Web Services, Java, https…The status of more than two hundred substations has been made visible in the grid control room through the MV/LV monitoring pilot project in Spain, enabling the prevention or quicker resolution of power failures.Monitoring units can check a range of factors which could affect assets or supply to customers, including voltage/power/harmonic levels and external incidents such as flood, fire, humidity or break-in.
