The Northern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Ltd (TGNPDCL) has installed the Real Time Feeder Monitoring System (RTFMS) gadgets crossed each the 16 circles successful its purview to guarantee its consumers get improved and prime powerfulness supply.
Chairman and Managing Director of the Discom K. Varun Reddy stated that the Northern Discom is among the archetypal organisation utilities successful the state to follow the precocious technology. The caller strategy would assistance the inferior get close real-time accusation connected powerfulness proviso and alteration punctual enactment and effectual monitoring of feeders, thereby reducing powerfulness interruptions significantly, helium explained.
The method squad of the inferior had studied the exertion crossed six States earlier finalising it for implementation and it is presently successful usage successful Odisha. The CMD said the exertion is customised to suit the operational needs of the NPDCL.
After confirming its effectiveness, it was initially tested astatine 5 substations arsenic a aviator project. Once those substations were integrated with the SCADA strategy and aft receiving affirmative feedback, the strategy was extended to different 133 substations, the CMD stated.
“Work connected the remaining substations is progressing swiftly with the engineers acrophobic moving diligently to execute the acceptable targets. For agrarian substations, an businesslike and cost-effective mentation of the exertion has been designed to guarantee reliable connection and monitoring”, helium explained.
A caller SCADA-compatible bundle was developed and installed astatine the Warangal office to negociate substation operations. Keeping successful presumption the aboriginal expansion, servers person besides been acceptable up to conscionable the bundle requirements for the adjacent 15 years.
On the benefits of the RTFMS, Mr. Varun Reddy said operations could beryllium managed straight from the SCADA Control Room, real-time outage alerts could beryllium sent to tract unit enabling speedy restoration of powerfulness supply, overload warnings could beryllium transmitted instantly to tract unit and real-time information specified arsenic powerfulness depletion and voltage levels could beryllium captured and analysed.
In addition, Fault Passage Indicators (FPIs) are being installed on 2,500 lines of 33kV and 11kV capableness to heighten proviso reliability. During the breakdowns, earthy calamities oregon method issues, FPIs would assistance place the nonstop responsibility determination without the request to patrol the full lines, allowing engineers to instantly be to the affected conception and reconstruct powerfulness proviso and rapidly minimise the downtime of powerfulness interruptions.
