Feeder Current Monitoring (FCM)
• The feeder current meter primary
measurement and reporting is the line
current of the HV side (max, min,
accumulated)
• Granular data to be consolidate into one
central repository.
• Need to add analytical to improve
operation and planning (optimize
decision-making based on data)

Issues and Barriers
• Drivers don’t encourage coordination between DG and
smart grid technologies
• Smart applications and DG compatibility
• DA is not necessary implemented where DG is
interconnected
• Standards and application guides needed that foster
integration of DG as opposed to simply connection (in
progress)

Canadian Association of Members of Public
Utility Tribunals (CAMPUT)
• CAMPUT purposes:
– to improve public utility regulation in Canada; and
improve education of commissioners and staff of
public utility tribunals
• Provinces at various stages
– Automated meter reading (AMR) and Automated
meter infrastructure (AMI)
– Distribution automation
– Link to improving integration of renewable energy
through legislation (eg. Green energy act, Ontario).
• Increasing interest in CAN-USA regulators working
together
– US FERC-NARUC established a collaborative on
Smart Grid

Survey of Regulators (NARUC and CAMPUT)
• Background:
– Regulators are guided by legislation
– Utilities are guided by regulations
• Survey conducted by Capgemini between Sept.-Nov.
2008
• Results show that regulators are at the very early stages
of an education and valuation process.
• When under legislative and or regulatory mandated
renewable targets – then smart grid investments had
more appeal if direct links can be made (eg. portfolio
standards)
• “Goalpost” keeps moving from AMR to AMI to Smart Grid

Renewables
• Smart Grid Forum releases its finding – February 2009
• Green Energy Act created – feed-in tariffs for renewables
– May 14, 2009
• Ontario Energy Board (OEB) - draft guidelines on
planning for smart grid architecture - June 16, 2009
• Important elements:
– Creation of new deferral accounts for capital
investments incurred related to the development of a
smart grid or the accommodation of new renewables.
– Introduction of a mechanism to provide advance
funding for expenditures to accommodate new
renewables or develop a smart grid.
– Initial guidance to distributors on planning to
accommodate new renewables and a smart grid.

Summary
• Canada’s existing electricity infrastructure was designed
prior to advances of the information age.
• The “smart grid” includes improvement in metering,
monitoring and control technologies
• Smart Grid is needed for future operation and management
of electricity networks and for the integration of renewable
and distributed energy.
• Coordinated research and demonstration projects required to
support the transition towards a smarter grid
• Shared knowledge and progress reported

Power Quality History
• Beginning in the early 90’s, power quality monitors (PQ
Nodes) were placed in secondary networks to monitor
voltage.
• Monitors and software were developed by EPRI and cofunded by Con Edison to measure power quality.
• The high-definition data was also useful in analysis of
system events, and PQNodes were placed in substations to
capture additional data.

RTF History
• In 2005, engineers from Distribution Engineering, Power Quality
and R&D envisioned a further use of the stream of highdefinition data
• Working with Electrotek engineers, they developed computer
algorithms and graphical interfaces to locate faults on network
feeders
• This is the Reactance-To-Fault (RTF) system
• First applied in Manhattan, where it reduced fault locating time
during the first summer (2006) by more than one hour, it is now
used by all operating regions in Con Edison.

• Relay digital channels (targets, and pick-up) are named differently in SEL, GE F60, this may create
confusion.
• Relay digital channels (targets, pick-up) will display the type of relay that operated/picked-up but not the
faulted phase.

Bassler Relay - How to Identify Faulted Phase?
• Relay Target Phases are available in a log file (txt) generated by the Bassler Relay.
• The log (txt) file should be integrated in PQView to automatically identify the faulted
phase, and send a notification (Future Development).

Wide range of applications that can take
advantage of integrated data
• Fault analysis - fault location, fault cause identification, trends of
fault conditions indicating problems.
• Incipient faults associated with arresters, cracked insulators,
cable splices, etc.
• Evaluation of breaker and relay performance – timing, pole
spans, coordination, evaluation of fault duties, maintenance
requirements.
• Capacitor application evaluations – identification of switching
problems, can failure identification, harmonic resonance
problems, restrikes, performance of synchronous closing control.
• Transformer assessments – loading evaluations, harmonic
duty, fault duty, identification of possible problems from
harmonics and unbalances.
• Tap changer and voltage regulator assessments –
identification of problems from disturbance waveforms (see
Figure 3), unbalanced conditions, voltage regulation
assessments.
• Distributed generation applications – evaluation of
performance with respect to interconnection requirements (e.g.
wind farms).

System Event Concepts
• Requirements for coordinating system events
– Information sources (coordinated data collection)
– Time synchronization requirements
– Data management requirements (common information model,
terminology)
• Other integration requirements for analysis of system events
– Models (e.g. for fault location)
– Model synchronization
– SCADA/EMS/DMS – system operations, conditions
– Asset databases
– Customer Information Systems, Outage Management System
– Other information systems (lightning, weather, traffic, etc.)

The 26‐month study looks at 20 events with 9 events creating voltage sags below 70% of nominal (VL‐GND). More importantly, there were 9 events where the VLL went below 70% of nominal at the 161‐kV bus. These events (maybe all) likely caused ASDs (AC and/or DC) to shut down at industrial locations. Customers likely called to complain. 10/17/2005 08:29:12.345

In Summary…What is Key about this Project?
• Taking advantage of sensors throughout the system
• Many applications can use advanced monitoring
information (PQ, waveforms)
• Integration is required for the functionality of these
applications
• System event concept requires synchronization of data
and common terminology
• Effective utilization of Industry Standards
– IEC 61850 in substations
– Common Information Model for Enterprise Integration
• Web-Based Services to make applications available to
wide range of users with simple interfaces
