Mitigate Transmission Wildfire Risk

This webinar presents advanced software and protection, fault-locating, and line-monitoring technologies and strategies for achieving quick progress toward a more fire-resistant electric power transmission system. These solutions provide the benefits of situational awareness, accurate and actionable data, cost reduction, and time saving and represent a growing awareness by utilities worldwide of the importance of further reducing the potential loss of life, property, and vegetation due to wildfires.

During this webinar, you will learn about:

• Situational awareness software for power system operators, which provides time-series data from protection relays (or synchrophasors) and real-time analytics.
• Broken-conductor detection—a protection algorithm that identifies an open or broken phase for detecting broken conductors or jumpers and also provides its location for improved response time.
• Traveling-wave fault locating (TWFL), which allows for improved response time as system operators and dispatchers can use the results to dispatch crews to an exact tower location for inspection.
• A line-monitoring solution that detects incipient faults, recurring faults, and incipient cable faults.
• How autoreclosing is allowed or inhibited using TWFL results with ARC logic. You can inhibit reclosing for faults on the cable sections of a hybrid line, near airports, along fire-prone stretches of an overhead line, or in areas where humans or animals are present.
