Detecting and Diagnosing Grid Faults with Fewer False Triggers

2022-10-04

Utilities lose $79 billion annually to power outages. Our high speed, high accuracy, high sampling rate ADCs can help utilities detect, diagnose, and locate faults and restore power quickly. This simulation of an intelligent distribution automation system demonstrates how our data converters can help characterize the nature of the faults, reduce the average interruption time by a third, and reduce power restoration time from 45 minutes to less than 3 minutes.
