Substation Monitoring System; Safe, Reliable, and Economical Operation of the Distribution Grids

 

Substation monitoring system is used to monitor and control distributed power generation remotely. Substation monitoring is important to ensure consistent power supply to end-users. There are different monitoring methods, including both wired and wireless technologies. Wireless technologies include Ethernet, GSM, GPRS, and more. Substation monitoring system consist of various equipment such as APFC panels, relays, transformer, circuit breaker, etc. The system monitors specified parameters such as power factor, temperature, current, voltage, frequency, etc.

 

Substation monitoring system refers to the set of equipment that are used to receive, process, and exhibit signals of interest to be monitored and alarms created to be sent to a central location. Substation monitoring can be either passive or active. The passive system monitors the status of the various appliances or devices from a remote location and if a problem occurs, the alarm is generated at the central station instead of at the locations where the devices are controlled. Whereas, the active monitoring system is used to generate an alarm if the temperature rises or if there is a power failure at the central location.

Substation monitoring system helps in the detection of a wide range of faults and alarms are generated at various locations as and when required to deal with faults quickly. One of the major advantages of using substation monitoring is the cost factor involved. As these systems are able to process and display more than one data source at a time, they are less expensive than systems that require operators to physically access each appliance individually. For example, when a fault is detected at the gate, it alerts the control room that an important device at a particular location is not operating normally and the necessary repairs or replacements can be initiated before damage occurs.

The development and implementation of substation monitoring system is for safe, reliable, and economical operation of the distribution grids. With the increasing demand for the reduction in distribution and transmission losses, the demand for substation monitoring system is also increasing. For instance, in January 2021, the government of Mexico planned to modernize the Buen Tono high voltage electric substation that supplies power to the capital’s metro lines, following a fire that shut down the first six lines of the subway network over the weekend.

The Global Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition Market Continues to Grow Rapidly Owing to the High Demand From Automakers And Concerns Related to Environmental Safety And Measures to Reduce Emissions.

 

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition, or HCCI, is a gas igniting system for internal combustion engines that uses an electrical spark between a charge and the oxygen in combustion air. Like other types of spark ignition, HCCI uses the exhaust gas pressure to provide a spark, but it uses a charge. Unlike spark plugs, HCCI does not plug an opening; it simply ignites the fuel and oxidant gases in the combustion chamber through an electric spark. This system is also called a self-induction system because it self-installs itself.

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition is an alternative to the air induction ignition system. Unlike the induction (fuel and oxygen) induction systems, HCCI uses a charge on the intake manifold along with a thin blanket of gas to provide a source of ignition. The system works well with diesel (rubber piston engines). The main advantages of using a charge-composition ignition system are that it requires no combustion chamber maintenance and ignition is instant with most diesel. Some disadvantages of HCCI are that it needs precise starting and ignition timing to achieve an optimal fuel economy and ignition performance and that it is wasteful of energy.
