The smart grid solution simplifies the implementation process and increases flexibility and functionality for electric utility feeder and distribution automation, Effacec said.
The solution uses a variety of custom network templates, and can create an ‘island based’ configuration for feeder restoration and optimization.
Effacec claims that while Centrix’s installation costs are similar to a decentralized system, it delivers a combination of advanced smart grid applications, including load flow, fault detection isolation and restoration (FDIR), loss minimization, interactive volt-var control (IVVC), and more.
