6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Substation capacitor monitoring”

How to control & monitor sub-station equipment?

Control and monitor From every internet enabled a device which can access the official website's controlling & monitoring web page can perform the tasks of monitoring the sub-station equipment's current status and control the equipment. The user must verify himself to access the official web page by a password.

What is remote monitoring & control of sub-station equipment?

Remote monitoring and controlling of the sub-station equipment is an important issue for the power/energy management department which is normally done manually, or using an expensive PLC and SCADA system.

What are the characteristics of the on-line monitoring method for shunt capacitors?

Conclusions The on-line monitoring method for shunt capacitors proposed in this paper has the following characteristics: (1) This monitoring method is applicable to shunt capacitor banks of all connection types. It can be realized only by using a relay protection device, with no additional device to measure the state quantity.

How does a capacitor bank sensor work?

When the sensors report an event, an analysis of the associated waveforms will determine if fault current was present, showing a blown fuse, or a bad switch. Outside of capacitor bank monitoring, sensors are also used for substation monitoring and fault detection.

What is a sub-station in a power system?

1. Introduction Sub-stations are an important part of the power system and a typical sub-station consists of different types of equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers (CB), relays, lightning arresters (LA), current transformers (CT), potential transformers (PT), isolators, capacitors, and so on, .

Why should you install a voltage sensor at a critical substation?

Because the sensors provide highly accurate voltage and current measurements, installing them at the head of the circuit at critical substations can allow utilities to monitor load on circuits, detect faults and locate trouble on the network that could be investigated to prevent outages.
