SECONDARY SUBSTATIONS REMOTE CONTROL AND MONITORING DEVICE

In compliance with Enel GSTR001/1 e GSTR001/2


The UP2015-UP8 is remote control Peripheral Unit for secondary substations and Medium Voltage (MV) power distribution system

Main functions of the UP2015-UP8 are:

  • Remote control and Automation of Secondary substation switchgear
  • Permanent Fault detection
  • Monitoring of Medium Voltage Power Grid

The UP2015-UP8 allows to create the comunication system between field and The Distribution Control Centre. In particular:

  • Receiving and carrying out commands sent by the Distribution Control Centre (Remote Control).
  • Send field collected informations (remote signaling and telemetry) to the Distribution Control Centre side

These functions allow to guarantee Reliability Hight Level of Electric Power Distribution system, reducing the number and duration of power outages caused by circuit faults.

Furthermore, Remote Control permits optimization of electric power distribution system maintenance and planning policies.

The UP2015-UP8 is made by two components integrated in a metal cabinet:

  • The UE8 module: is the unit of data acquisition, monitoring, transmission, and processing. The UE8 is the field interface also. The UE8 is completely remote programmable by personal computer.
  • The ACB module: includes a power supply and a battery system with charger circuit . The ACB supplies the power to UE8, to comunication device called DCE and to motors of Switchgear connected to the UP. The Battery system is made by two Lead-acid battery and the ACB monitors his functional states. The DCE is completely programmable from personal computer by local comunication port.

Configuration software

UP2015-UP8 is accompanied by a configuration application program that runs under Windows ©. It allows the configuration of the UP both remotely and locally.
Local configuration must be performed with a personal computer, connected to the UP via USB 2.0 or through an Ethernet interface.
The application allows to define:

  • The general parameters of operation of the device
  • Communication parameters
  • The characteristics of the OdMs connected to the UP
  • Remote Signals, Remote Measures and the Digital outputs.

Furthermore, it is a useful diagnostic and verification tool, as it allows:

  • Monitoring the status of the inputs and outputs
  • Monitoring, with the possibility of saving on file, the states of the automatisms, their transitions and the corresponding values assumed by the physical and logical inputs.
  • Sending commands to the instantiated OdMs.

It is also possible to analyze the recordings at a later time.
