Reliability in networksA key driver andmeasurement of utilityeffectivenessisinthereliabilityofpowertoitscustomers.Asmanyfaultsonoverheaddistribution lines are transient in nature,reclosingatthesubstationandinstallationofmid-linereclosers./switchescanimprovea utilities SAIDI reliability index by up to24%.Whenpermanentfaultsoccuronoverheadlines, having feeders with increasingdegrees or automation can greatlyenhance distribution grid reliabilityand reduce restoration of unfaultedsegments from several hours to a fewsecondsorminutes.Akeycomponentofthese automation schemes is intelligentcontrollers that can integrate with FDIRsystemsthroughsharinglocalinformationandacceptingcontrolcommands.

Fault isolation and Restoration

With adequate deployment of Reclosersand switches, faults on distributionnetworkscanoftenbe isolated allowingunaffected parts of the system to berestored. Twomainmodesof operationof isolation and restoration commonlydeployedare:A,Manual: Fault Isolation&restorationis

donemanuallybythecrewvisitingthesite.

B.Automatic: Intelligenceattheswitchinglocations detect faults and based onthe level of automation available, thefollowingthreeoptionsarepossible.

1. localized Control: Local intelligencefor detecting and isolating a faultedsection of the feeder allowing forautomatic reclosing and restorationtounfaultedupstreamsectionsofthefeeder.

2. operator Control: Operator Controlrequires a DMS application like GE’sPowerOnorGeNesolutionsrunninginthecontrolcenter.Thisisacombinationoflocalintelligencecommunicatingtothe control center with an Operatorexecuting switching plans to isolatethe fault and restore service to non-faultedsections.

3. Automated Control: AutomatedControlrequiresaDMSapplicationlikelikeGE’sPowerOnorGeNerunninginthe control center or a decentralize

system running in the substationlikeGE’s D400-FDIR. FDIR algorithmsdetermines fault location andautomatically reconfigure the feedertoisolatethefault&restoringpowertonon-faultedsections.

overview TheMultilinDGCRisanadvancedRecloserController for detection of faults andcontrollingoverheadreclosers.TheMultilinDGCRiscompatiblewithmanytraditionaland magnetic actuator reclosers andprovides a great degree of flexibility inintegratingwithFDIRsystems.The Multilin DGCR provides integratedprotection, control, and reclosingfunctionality required for protectingfeeders and isolating faulted sections.Utilizing these features, the MultilinDGCR can greatly improve distributionreliabilitywhetheritisbeingusedworkingindependentlyor intandemwithanFDIRscheme.TheMultilinDGCRiscapableofmonitoring3currentsandup to6 voltagesallowingfor3-phasevoltagemeasurementoneachside of the recloser. The Multilin DGCRsupporttraditionalCTsandPTssensorsaswellaslinepostsensorssuchas(Lindsey,FisherPierce).Withthismeasurementcapability,Multilin’sDGCR can measure and communicatecritical information includingvoltageand

current magnitudes to SCADA and DMSsystems. The Multilin DGCR calculatespower factor, phase angle, power flowdirection, power and energy. Multilin’sDGCR performs real time tracking ofrecloser operations, parameters and therecloserweartherebyenablingtheutilityto manage their assets effectively andefficiently

Robust Design

BasedonGE’sprovencontrollerplatformwith tens of thousands of units installedglobally, the Multilin DGCR undergoesextensive Accelerated Life Testing (ALT)andHighlyAcceleratedLifeTesting(HALT)to validate accurate functionality underspecifiedconditionsandtoensureaccurateperformance in extreme operatingconditionsandharshenvironments.Asacompletepackage,theMultilinDGCRis offered in a NEMA-4 certified cabinetthat is suitable for operation of harshenvironmentswithanoperatingrangeof-40°Cto+60°C(-40°Fto+140°F).

Fault ProtectionThe Multilin DGCR provides protectionfunctionalityfordownstreamOverCurrentand Earth Faults. The DGCR can beprogrammedtorecloseafaultedsegmenteitherindependentlyorfromremote.Thisis a key feature for grid reliability TheDGCRalsoofferscontrol,monitoringanddiagnostics in one integrated efficientdesign.

Cold load pickup

The Multilin DGCR can be programmedto block the instantaneous over-currentelements, and raise the pickup level ofthe time over-current elements, when acold load condition is detected. The coldload condition is detectedduring closingof thebreakerona feeder thathasbeende-energized for a long time.
