Overcoming Performance Degradation When Migrating Protection to Packet-Based Networks

Many utilities are wrestling with the challenges of updating aging wide-area network infrastructure and managing migration from time-division multiplexing (TDM) to packet-based network technology. During this webinar, you'll gain a better understanding of how SEL technologies address those challenges and how to successfully implement a migration strategy to packet-based networks.

You'll learn about:

• Key success factors of moving to a converged information technology (IT)/operational technology (OT) network, including security, ownership, labor rules, complexity, and traffic prioritization.
• Potential performance degradation of teleprotection over Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks impacting latency, asymmetry, and healing times.
• The impact of asymmetry degradation on communications performance for line current differential protection.
• How SEL ICON virtual synchronous networking (VSN) helps address these challenges.
• Real-world results from three utilities—Central Lincoln PUD, Hawaiian Electric, and Consumers Energy—that have implemented solutions.
