Relay protection monitoring, diagnostic and operation assessment system



About system

Relay protection device (IED) monitoring, diagnostic and operation assessment system is an RTSoft complete solution for automation workflow of protection engineers service the relay device in electrical energy companies, oil&gas and industry
Remote monitoring and health diagnostic in real-time
  • Timely detection and warning about malfunctions and early proactive diagnostic of hidden device failures.
  • Automatic verification and checking IED settings vs reference.
  • Step for condition based maintenance.
Fault event analysis in LV & HV electrical grid and assessment of correct protection operations
  • Automatic data collections from IEDs & SCADA
  • Notification about fault trip and protection operations
  • Fault events in electrical grid analysis based on real signals and other data acquired (fault records, evens log)
  • Automated report generation with results
Information and data exchange about relay devices state and fault events analysis between the transmission & distribution control center, power generation companies and grid operator

Benefits

Reliability
reduce cases of incorrect protection operation and increase of the reliability in electrical grid by establishing a timely detecting IED malfunctions and problems.
Time-save
reducing time spent for analysis fault events data and making objective decisions in protection operations assessment.
Prevent
reduced number of shutdowns in electrical grid caused by malfunction and misoperation of relay protection.
Cost-effectiveness
maintenance by IED actual condition lead to optimization operating costs for excess work performed by the preventive maintenance.
