Apprenez comment Altek Solutions met en œuvre le SCADA pour la résilience du DMS au sein de la municipalité de Stellenbosch.

Apprenez comment Altek Solutions met en œuvre le SCADA pour la résilience du DMS au sein de la municipalité de Stellenbosch.

La municipalité de Stellenbosch est une collectivité locale de la province du Cap-Occidental en Afrique du Sud, desservant plus de 200 000 clients. Elle recherchait un partenaire OEM compétent pour lui fournir un support de bout en bout dans l'établissement d'une station maîtresse SCADA dans son centre de contrôle, afin de superviser et d'opérer son réseau de distribution. De plus, elle avait besoin d'aide pour préparer la configuration du système de la station maîtresse SCADA et permettre une solution de protection et de contrôle des sous-stations entièrement intégrée.

Avec l'aide d'Altek Solutions (intégrateur de systèmes ETAP en Afrique du Sud), ce projet a été exécuté pour atteindre l'objectif du client. Cette démonstration présente la nouvelle station maîtresse SCADA au centre de contrôle municipal, qui a été implémentée en plusieurs phases. La première phase a consisté à établir le SCADA au centre de contrôle et à connecter 7 sous-stations. La phase suivante consistera à ajouter des capacités DMS (système de gestion de la distribution) et OMS (système de gestion des opérations) au système SCADA.

ETAP a été sélectionné pour cette phase en raison de sa plateforme modulaire et évolutive, permettant de construire facilement sur le système SCADA ETAP pour répondre à leur besoin d'un système de gestion de la distribution à l'avenir.

Phase to Phase Fault Debacle: Fault Lasted 1.7s/108 Cycles. Protection Studies are quite Challenging

Phase to Phase Fault Debacle: Fault Lasted 1.7s/108 Cycles. Protection Studies are quite Challenging

How a failure, to properly perform protection studies, led to a significant substation safety incident and outage. ​Understanding minimum and maximum fault current values are critical in this case study. The shortcomings led to a fault not being removed fast enough.  Short circuit impedances are very valuable, it is critical to have the right cables and impedances of the equipment. An excellent learning from this case study is that line to line arc flash fault exists much longer at medium voltage level. In low voltage we do not see those type of line-to-line arc flash faults because line to line arc flash fault will rapidly turn into a three-phase fault. The arc flash calculator is a great tool to estimate incident energy.  The arc flash calculator shows both methods:  below 15 kv we can use IEEE 1584-2018 to calculate incident energy at 15 Kv, and above our fault calculated method can calculate calories exposure during the fault.
