Self healing grid strategies1st business model: Device level or peer-to-peer

§ Device level and/or peer-to-peer§ A group of reclosers, load break switches,

and feeder circuit breakers operate togetherto restore power in the most optimal manner

§ Benefits§ Allows utilities to focus investments on

feeders that experience the most outages

reclosers, load break switches, and substationcircuit breakers within a substation andpossibly with adjacent substations

§ Benefits§ Avoids overloading of adjacent substations

§ Reduces engineering support and recurringcosts

§ Target solution appropriate for problem feeders

§ Supports future communications investmentsfor applications such as asset health andvolt/Var control

§ Utilities realize benefits on groups ofsubstations and the feeders they control

§ Increases improvement in SAIDI and CAIDIscores

§ Autolink is an electrical device thatensures the service continuity

§ It is not a fault interruption device. Itworks with a recloser or circuit breakerupstream

§ Detects Symmetrical and AsymmetricalInrush currents

§ Resettable as many times as necessary

§ Independent to Time – Current curves

§ Reduces maintenance and preventsunnecessary outages

But most importantly…

Electronic allows to detectbetween Temporary and

Permanent Faults
