IntelliTEAM SG ? Automatic Restoration System

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The IntelliTEAM SG Automatic Restoration System by S&C, first introduced in 1997, was pioneering in using peer-to-peer communication and distributed intelligence for service restoration. It has evolved through IntelliTEAM II to the current IntelliTEAM SG, which offers enhanced features and scalability.
Key Features
  • IntelliTEAM SG Designer: Facilitates system configuration and propagates settings to all team members.
  • Rapid Self-Healing: Quickly isolates faults and restores service to unaffected sections.
  • Communication Enhanced Coordination: Improves feeder segmentation and reduces service interruptions.
  • Post-Restoration Load Management: Prevents system overloading after reconfiguration.
  • Closed-Loop Operation: Supports complex network configurations without a normally open switching point.
  • Site Automation Testing: Validates system logic and settings using real site parameters.
  • In-Field Instant Replay: Assists in event analysis by collecting and replaying event logs.
System Benefits
  • Service Reliability: Enhances reliability using real-time data for smart switching decisions without central monitoring.
  • Efficiency: Maximizes system efficiency and defers upgrades using real-time loading data.
  • Compatibility: Compatible with existing systems and devices using the DNP 3.0 protocol.
  • Safety: Features to limit restoration segments and prevent automatic operation during maintenance.
Operating Principles
  • Teams maintain power on line segments using normal or alternate sources.
  • Utilizes excess capacity from neighboring teams for restoration.
  • Protects against overloading post-reconfiguration.
  • Allows prioritization of restoration strategies based on user-defined rules.
IntelliTEAM SG Designer
The Designer tool simplifies configuration through a single-line diagram, offering drawing tools, validation, and a component explorer for efficient management of complex systems.
Advanced Features
  • Rapid Self-Healing: Minimizes switching operations for quick service restoration.
  • Communication Enhanced Coordination: Uses high-speed communication for improved circuit segmentation.
  • Post-Restoration Load Management: Manages load to prevent system overloading after restoration.
  • Closed-Loop Operation: Supports complex network configurations with multiple sources.
  • Site Automation Testing: Validates system settings and communication integrity through real-time testing.
Overview
The document outlines the functionalities of IntelliTEAM SG, designed to manage and reconfigure distribution systems in response to faults or voltage losses. It highlights features such as creating a new normal configuration and the In-Field Instant Replay for event analysis.
New Normal Configuration
After a system reconfiguration due to a fault, users can set this new configuration as the normal operating state using IntelliTEAM SG Designer to propagate the new settings across all team devices, ensuring system readiness.
In-Field Instant Replay
This feature simplifies event analysis by collecting and compiling event logs from multiple field devices into a single record. Users can replay these logs on the system's single-line diagram with options for real-time, high-speed, or step-by-step playback. The system highlights schematic segments and changes device ID colors to indicate non-normal states, aiding in quick issue identification.
Key Features
  • Simplified event log analysis
  • Real-time and customizable playback options
  • Visual indicators for non-normal states

IntelliTEAM SG ? Automatic Restoration System-2

A field-proven Smart Grid solution that needs no central processing, SCADA, or large-scale communication structure. Now with even-faster self-healing response IntelliTEAM SG™ Automatic Restoration System Introduced in 1997, S&C’s IntelliTEAM® Automatic Restoration System was the first product of its kind. Using peer-to-peer communication with distributed intelligence, IntelliTEAM tracks system conditions and quickly initiates service restoration. IntelliTEAM was way ahead of its time. In 2003, S&C expanded IntelliTEAM capabilities with IntelliTEAM II® . . . an order of magnitude more powerful...

IntelliTEAM SG ? Automatic Restoration System-3

Maximizes the efficiency of your system Restoration capacity is based on real-time loading and actual feeder capacity, not often-outdated historical loading data. Your circuits can be routinely loaded higher . . . IntelliTEAM SG prevents overloading during restoration. The excess capacity of adjacent sources is used to restore service to unfaulted segments, helping defer the need for system upgrades and allowing you to tie circuits that traditional planning criteria wouldn’t permit. Any RTU or SCADA device using DNP 3.0 can be employed to monitor feeder loading at the breaker, and continuously...

IntelliTEAM SG ? Automatic Restoration System-4

IntelliTEAM SG is exceptionally easy to configure, thanks to IntelliTEAM SG Designer. If you can draw a single-line diagram of your distribution system, you can configure IntelliTEAM SG . Your diagram automatically populates IntelliTEAM SG settings! After you've drawn the diagram of your system, "Validate" checks your work and automatically updates the configuration for each device in

5. Place switches on the wires. 7. Run “Validate” to automatically generate field associations and populate the default team settings. 8. Change default team settings, such as loading constraints, to match your actual requirements. 9. Change the default names of the devices to names appropriate for your system. If desired, add labels, images, and/or graphics to customize the look of your diagram. 10. Save your work. 6. Establish the normal state of each switch and set the sensor locations. Now all you need to do is load the settings into your team devices. IntelliTEAM SG Designer makes that easy...

IntelliTEAM SG ? Automatic Restoration System-8

Rapid Self-Healing This feature of IntelliTEAM SG—when enabled—can significantly decrease the self-healing response time by minimizing the number of switching operations. If a fault occurs and there's sufficient capacity in a single source, IntelliTEAM SG will use Rapid Self- Healing, opening all switches surrounding the faulted team, then closing one switch to restore service to as many outaged sections as possible using that source. If there isn't sufficient capacity in a single source, IntelliTEAM SG will instead use Expert Self-Healing to restore service to as many outaged sections as possible...

IntelliTEAM SG ? Automatic Restoration System-9

Site Automation Testing When high-speed communication devices such as S&C SpeedNet™ Radios or fiber-optics are utilized, any number of IntelliRupter PulseClosers can share the same protection curve. Coordination is assured. Communication Enhanced Coordination shifts each IntelliRupter upstream of a fault to a slower protection curve. The devices respond to the curveshifting message in 100 ms or less . . . so only the IntelliRupter closest to the fault opens. This unique feature provides better circuit segmentation than any other means now available. Customers will experience a significant reduction...

NEW In-Field Instant Replay Piecing together event log files to analyze what happened is difficult and time consuming, especially when multiple field devices are involved. IntelliTEAM Designer greatly simplifies the process. With In-Field Instant Replay, IntelliTEAM Designer collects the event logs from the affected field devices and compiles them in a single comprehensive record. The multi-device event log can be played back on the single-line diagram that was used to configure IntelliTEAM SG. IntelliTEAM Designer provides complete control over the playback. You can view it in real time, high...
