Overview
The Multilin Intelligent Line Monitoring System is an end-to-end line monitoring solution with advanced analytics that provides actionable intelligence to distribution utilities to improve the reliability and efficiency of their networks.
Analytical Applications
- Feeder visualization
- Fault detection, location and analysis and maintenance prioritization (Multilin X-NET)
- Dynamic line rating calculation and analysis (Multilin T-NET)
Line Sensors
- Provides periodic time synchronized measurements to facilitate improved situational awareness and operations:
- Electrical current, both amplitude and phase
- Conductor surface temperature
- Detects fault conditions facilitating rapid identification and notification
Sensor Network Gateway (SNG)
- Acts as a communications gateway for distribution network and weather information critical for supporting advanced applications
- Equipped with a GPS transceiver that synchronizes the entire system, enabling GE Vernova’s advanced analytics
- Provides multiple options for communications backhaul to analytical applications providing installation flexibility
Key Benefits
- Extended visibility into the distribution network
- Reduced cost of ownership with GE Vernova’s sensors designed for easy installation on live networks
- Designed to meet the challenges of capturing faults in both low and high impedance grounding treatments
- Advanced analytical applications enabled by GE Vernova’s patented time synchronized data
- Remote firmware upgrade enabling further application development and compliance with regulatory and operational requirements
- Time synchronized measured data in DNP3 format
Fault Detection, Location and Analysis Application (X-NET Software)
Test Caption
The advanced analytics delivered by the X-NET application are designed to meet the challenges of capturing faults in both low and high impedance grounding treatments. The Intelligent Line Monitoring System delivers the necessary field visibility and advanced analytics to capture and report the location of ground and phase to phase faults as well as cross country faults in high impedance grounding schemes.
Fault Detection, Location & Analysis
- Monitors the distribution network 24/7 for events and faults
- Automatically filters events from faults based on utility defined configuration to avoid nuisance reports
- Identifies fault location alerting operators visually and notifying repair crews via email and SMS messaging
- Provides a cycle by cycle plot of fault activity
Maintenance Prioritization
The X-NET Software enables the utility to effectively prioritize maintenance expenditure by:
- Maintaining a database of events to facilitate identification of repetitive incidences, comparison of feeder performance and definition of preventive maintenance programs
- Graphically depicting outage history for each feeder section
The X-NET Application enables utilities to:
- Target where to spend maintenance funds based on performance instead of age of assets
- Direct field crews to feeder sections where maintenance is needed
- Guide maintenance work required by the nature and frequency of feeder faults indicated by frequent re-closer activity
- Categorize maintenance required based upon repetitive transients indicative of:
- The need for tree trimming
- Salt build-up
- Equipment degradation
