13 DA- TWO BIG QUESTIONS: DA Intelligence Style Communication option 3

14 CENTRALIZED VS SUBSTATION CENTERED VS DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE - Centralized intelligence o Distribution Management System (DMS) serves as the brain of the DA system o Full system view for restoration, optimize the restoration in the large scale. o Integrate with other system and applications. o Cons: Longest deployment time Integration with DMS, fine-tuning, are time-consuming Expensive Slowest restoration times A point-to-multi-point system can be overwhelmed. 4

15 CENTRALIZED VS SUBSTATION CENTERED VS DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE - 2 Substation centered intelligence o Use main logic controls at the distribution substations o Pros and Cons are somewhere between Centralized and Distributed 5

16 CENTRALIZED VS SUBSTATION CENTERED VS DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE - 3 Distributed intelligence o Peer-to-Peer Devices o Fastest restoration o Fastest to deploy o Able to be deployed with or without DMS or GIS. o Cons: Less efficient in large scale restoration optimization 6

17 COMMUNICATION Main Criteria: ocapacity & latency oreliability ocost osecurity otraffic types & networking standards oreputation ocoverage oother Smart Grids usage 7

18 COMMUNICATION OPTIONS FOR DA Fiber o Wide bandwidth, fast, secure, reliable, wellestablished technology, lot of rooms for future growth, applications and for other Smart grid projects o Expensive Radio oleast expensive 8

31 SUMMER STORM 08/29/205 The Strongest Summer Storm In Northwest History Saturday was a historic day during a historic summer. On that day western Oregon and Washington was lashed by the strongest summer windstorm in its historic record. 3

32 WINDSTORM 08/29/205 WIND SPEED 32

33 WINDSTORM DIAGNOSTIC OVERVIEW The DA system handled four different storm contingencies and executed logic to mitigate as many customer outages as possible. In both automatic and manual modes, the system functioned properly. Automatic Mode Event : Two faults appeared on FDR2705. DA System Response: Isolated affected sections, and shifted unaffected load on FDR2705 to FDR m Event 2: Two new faults appeared on FDR2703. DA System Response: Isolated affected sections, kept power service to other segments. 32m Event 3: Fault near substation, FDR2703 is lost. DA System Response: No available source to route power. Do not attempt to close. Manual Mode Event 4: Dispatcher located new fault while restoring FDR2705. DA System Response: Dispatcher remotely isolated fault, restored power to 80% of total customers on FDR

47 LESSONS LEARNED A lab, even small one, is critical for testing, troubleshooting and training. Fiber optics loop was intact throughout the serve storm The fast, secure remote access greatly reduce crew times for event data retrieval and configuration update Secure WIFI is a nice feature, reduce operation cost, and enhanced crew safety The system performed as intended. The Distribution Automation scheme identified, isolated, and rerouted after the faults appeared. Dispatchers were able to identify and send line crews to fix affected line segments faster than conventional methods. 47
