Russia, Moscow: Russian companies specialising in the development of products for digital substations, Profotek (Rusnano) and Lisis, presented a comprehensive smart grid solution for digital substations.
The statement from Rusnano said that a solution designed to build digital 35-1150 kV substations includes optical measuring current and voltage transformers from Profotek, as well as hardware and software package from LISIS implementing all the functions of protection and substation control and functioning on the server platform, reports Ros Invest.
According to Rusnano, Russian power grid facilities are characterised by ageing of the assets: more than 50% of the power transformers has excess lifetime (over 25 years) and do not meet modern requirements for measurement accuracy, convenience and reliability. Outdated infrastructure does not fully allow the complex network to meet modern technological requirements and provide them with reliability and safety.
The new joint solution of Profotek and Lisis is based entirely on the work of Russian specialists. Digital optical instrument transformers are an alternative to conventional instrument transformers. Profotek developed transformers that provide a fully digital measurements and when integrated into the structure of the substation, they allow measurement systems, protection, and control and monitoring of power quality to be updated.
In turn, software and hardware iSAS, developed by LISIS provides full life cycle of system of protection and substation control: design, testing, commissioning, maintenance and operation.
Rusnano stated that forecast of total (public and private) investment in the development of smart grid worldwide will $ 400 billion by 2020, quoting China, the United States, Japan, South Korea and Spain as leaders.
