  Union, NJ—January 9, 2020—SATEC, Inc., innovative global supplier of instrumentation and software serving the electrical utility market, announces the addition of a powerful Digital Fault Recording (DFR) feature to the suite of capabilities of its Model BFM-II Second-Generation Branch Feeder Monitor. Designed specifically for electrical distribution substation applications, the DFR functionality provides substation engineers with critical information regarding relay tripping and reclosure operations, power disturbances and other system anomalies.

  The BFM-ll’s unique design allows it to easily and cost-effectively address much needed upgrades to older substations where existing in-service electromechanical devices aren’t capable of providing necessary detail to operate in today’s demanding digital smart grid environment. The addition of digital fault recording functionality greatly enhances essential system detail necessary for the analysis of power disturbances and at a price point unheard of in the industry for this level of functionality. The DFR feature monitors distribution network protection system performance utilizing multiphase waveform capture to immediately identify faults, failure of fault interrupting devices, incorrect tripping as well as to determine optimum tripping delay settings. Installation requires no interruption of CT circuits or disruption of service and an entire substation can be upgraded in a day or less. 

  “With the inclusion of DFR functionality, The BFM-ll delivers both an important update to substation instrumentation and a valuable upgrade in performance,” said Juan Diaz, SATEC Utility Segment VP.  “Substation engineers can expect these new capabilities to have an immediate impact on their ability to dynamically monitor system performance and improve overall reliability”.

  The BFM-II offers a range of important substation functions, including:

  • local and remote monitoring of breaker operations
  • local and remote supervision using digital and analog inputs
  • advance alerting of trips
  • long-term capture of trends and load profiles
  • communication via existing substation protocols such as DNP and IEC 60870

  SATEC’s expertpower for Utilities provides important analytics designed to enhance operational performance:

  • Improved Operational Efficiency. How everything works together on a distribution network is the secret to success when it comes to delivering energy to end users. expertpower’s Meter Data Management (MDM) consolidates and analyzes data and delivers it to the appropriate user.
  • Equipment Health Management. Having insight into how equipment is being utilized in the field or how well it is operating is critical. expertpower data allows operators to monitor equipment health and to assure that transformers and switch gear are properly sized. Having the right equipment for the job is a huge savings for all utilities.
  • Revenue Protection. Losses due to tampering and theft are always plaguing utilities. While there have been improvements in identifying and eliminating theft there are still a lot of opportunities to improve the process.

  SATEC’s expertpower combined with your choice of AMI Network and smart meters provides actionable information and analytics to improve the efficiency, reliability, security and profitability of your distribution network.  Integrating expertpower with other applications like SCADA, GIS and Billing will allow the right people to get the right information they need at the right time. “expertpower uses a standard web browser as a user interface to reduce the total cost of ownership by eliminating the need for any special infrastructure,” said Eric Lambert, SATEC Director of expertpower and Technical Services. “With expertpower, there is also no need for server hardware and software or on-site IT experts.”
