RTASR™ Auto-Sectionalizing and Restoration
Automatically restore power after an outage to as many homes and businesses as possible—without operator intervention. RTASR™ software monitors distribution feeders for outages, and controls SCADA switches to isolate faults and reroute power.
Product Features
-
Fault isolation
RTASR software automatically locates and isolates line sections affected by a fault. - Automatic feeder switching
The software restores power by taking the same actions a highly trained operator would, given similar circumstances. - Proven intelligence
Connectivity models and real-time feeder conditions are used to make switching decisions. - Overload avoidance
RTASR software checks transformer loading to ensure that switching operations don't cause an overload. - Extensive safety checks
Prior to performing any automated switching, RTASR software ensures that maintenance personnel are not working on the circuit, and verifies communication and data integrity. - Communication
The RTASR solution uses a variety of communication methods (e.g., Ethernet, serial, and radio) to facilitate communication to devices and other substations.
RTASR software runs on standard, Windows*-based servers or hardened systems available from many manufacturers. It is a member of the RTscada™ family of products, which interoperate to power the Smart Grid—from field device to substation to control center—and integrate seamlessly with all enterprise systems.
