Mitigate Transmission Bushfire Risk

Join presenters Jared Bestebreur and Kanchanrao Dase for a recorded webinar to learn how to achieve a more bushfire-resistant electric power transmission system. They highlight advanced protection, fault-locating, and line-monitoring technologies that provide both situational awareness and accurate, actionable data while reducing costs and saving time.

During this webinar, you will learn about:

• Situational awareness software for power system operators, which provides time-series data (or synchrophasors) from protection relays 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 times because 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. 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.
