Distribution Automation and Management

SEL offers a full range of distribution automation solutions—from advanced software-based solutions that configure FLISR schemes in minutes to custom-engineered systems that integrate centralized capacitor bank control, dynamic voltage control, and more.

Distribution automation applications on SEL Blueframe offer unparalleled transparency and ease of use. Customizable, versatile, and scalable, SEL Blueframe is a software platform designed to manage and exchange data seamlessly and securely between operational technology (OT) applications.

SEL Blueframe is a secure, Linux-based operating system and software platform designed for operational technology (OT) applications. It is customizable and versatile, supports installations of any size, and readily scales from running one or two targeted applications to multiple application suites.

Blueframe supports a growing number of SEL software applications, including:

• Data Management and Automation (DMA): Automatically collect, store, and manage device-specific information to simplify management of your system of devices and support compliance.
• Distribution Management System (DMS): Monitor, optimize, and control distribution systems with a suite of integrated wide-area control applications.
• SEL-5056 Software-Defined Network (SDN) Flow Controller: Configure and manage SEL SDN switches to create Ethernet networks optimized for operational technology (OT) applications.

SEL Engineering Services provides turnkey automation, protection, and wide-area control systems that are engineered to provide the specific functionalities you need to achieve your operational goals.

These solutions can include FLISR implementation, centralized capacitor bank control, dynamic voltage control, and more, depending on your requirements and operational goals. They integrate with the IEDs already in your system and are scalable and modular, so they can be expanded to meet new demand.

SEL Engineering Services also implements our High-Density Coordination solutions as a turnkey system.

SEL substation automation solutions enable grid owners to automate the collection and storage of data captured by modern IEDs, so that it can be used to improve system visibility and control, reduce O&M costs, mitigate cyber threats, and comply with safety and security standards.

SEL offers modernization solutions and services for any part of the grid, scaled to your needs. Partner with us on individual projects or multi-year modernization programs.

We design electric power systems, coordinate procurement and construction, manufacture the relays, build the panels, and install and commission the protection and control systems.

• Simplicity at Every Stage—Streamline your grid modernization program with a single PO. We offer a single-vendor solution for the entire process—from design and permitting through building, installation, and commissioning. This simplifies budgeting, project management, and timelines, ensuring on-time delivery.
• Advanced Technology—SEL solutions offer the fastest protection available. They also improve systemwide visibility and control through cybersecure remote engineering access, automated event collection, and precise fault location, among other benefits.
• Access to Experts and Product Support—Engineering support is available to you before, during, and after a project. After commissioning, you receive 24/7 support from SEL application engineers. Technical support is available for the lifetime of every SEL device at no cost.
• Reduced Total Cost of Ownership—Our simplified project management approach, advanced technology, and expert support lower your O&M costs in the short term and for the entire life of your modernized system.

We believe you should never have to worry about whether your protection and control systems will be working when you need them most. That’s why you always have access to SEL engineers—and every device we manufacture comes with a ten-year warranty and free technical support.
