Monitor Power Reliability

The Telemetric Reliability System provides a utility with powerful tools for gathering and reporting regulatory data required by public utility commissions or other regulatory bodies. The Reliability Monitoring System consists of hardware, software, and communications components designed for monitoring power interruptions, outages and over and under voltages on utility distribution feeders. Wireless voltage monitors located on distribution feeders report these events through the wireless network and a secure web based application. The data collected by the system is used to automatically generate industry-standard power reliability performance indicators as defined in the IEEE Guide on Electric Power Reliability Indices 1366-2001, including:

  • SAIDI (System Average interruption Duration Index)
  • SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index)
  • CAIDI (Customer Average Interruption Duration Index)
  • MAIFI (Momentary Average Interruption Frequency Index)

The primary purpose of the Reliability Monitoring System is to provide accurate interruption data and automatic calculations of industry-standard power reliability performance indicators. This information is especially important to utilities operating under Performance Based Rate (PBR) Systems. As an option the system can also send information to a utility’s SCADA system, Outage Management System (OMS) or other applications.

Benefits of the TVM:

  • Provides immediate and automatic notification of service interruptions, outages or over and under voltages via wireless communications.
  • Automatically generates industry-standard power reliability performance indicators as defined in IEEE Guide 1366-2001.
  • Improve maintenance by tracking and categorizing interruptions along with over and under voltage conditions.
  • Page or e-mail operations staff automatically when events occur.
