Private Wireless Public Wireless
Reliability/
Availability
Utility specifies design and backup
requirements, controls O&M strategy/structure
and network access
Utility has little influence on network design and
O&M, network likely unavailable during force
majeure events
Bandwidth10+ Mbps bi-directional at each network
device
LTE 5-12 Mbps down, 2-5 Mbps up; earlier
generations lower bandwidth
Latency 1 ms per hopLTE 50-200 ms; earlier generations higher
latency
ControlUtility designs and implements network based
on its needsUtility has little or not control over network
Technology
Life Cycle15+ years, end-of-life controlled by utility <10 years, end-of-life controlled by carrier
QoS Utility controls the network’s QoS
LTE QoS may be available depending on carrier,
may not apply during force majeure events;
earlier generations don’t support QoS
SecurityStandard, IP-based security solutions; logs
readily available for compliance and forensics
Security services may incur additional cost; log
access may vary by carrier and contract

Actual utility’s communications reliability compared
Production deployment
December 3, 2015 | Slide 13©ABB
According to the utility, “(Broadband wireless) just works”
Key measure for the utility was whether the SCADA master declared devices offline
The previous system was not meeting reliability requirements – with private broadband
wireless devices remained visible and controllable
Zero radio failures in over one year of operation, network uptime >99.99%
![Page 14: This webinar brought to you by the Relion product family · Automated metering infrastructure ... devices –relays, controls, sensors, IEDs, RTUs Substation automation devices –](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040900/5e6fae3fbd470372954a4a7b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Economic value case study
Utility wants to eliminate operating expenses associated
with cellular data plans for AMI backhaul
GPRS data costs not high today but utility wants to up
frequency of data pulls from current rate of twice per week
Utility would also like to deploy a wireless network that is
capable of supporting additional smart grid services
Following comparative cost model assumes M2M cellular
pricing based on twice a day polls for AMI

Volt/VAR control
Why: reactive loads decrease the efficiency of the network
Objective: maintain power factor as close to unity as possible
Minimize power to the network
Minimize cost
How: install capacitor banks at locations along the distribution
feeder
Need to be switched to avoid leading power factor when
load is resistive
Typical method is time-based switching
More effective method is measurement-based switching

Wireless in substations
Wireless not generally consider to be a great fit for
substations
If building a new substation, most likely going to put fiber in
the ground (or cable trays)
Wireless networks serving feeders might terminate at fiber
switch ports in substation but few other uses
Game changer – the need for utilities to retrofit existing
substations with automation capabilities
What’s the business case?
December 3, 2015 | Slide 45©ABB
![Page 46: This webinar brought to you by the Relion product family · Automated metering infrastructure ... devices –relays, controls, sensors, IEDs, RTUs Substation automation devices –](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040900/5e6fae3fbd470372954a4a7b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Main factor driving wireless in substations
However as utilities look to add automation to
existing substations, wired connections are not as
readily available as many had assumed
Going back and deploying fiber or fiber trays within
existing substations is an expensive proposition
Trenching costs
Drilling holes in control cabinets
Safety considerations
For substation retrofits, wireless is a great fit
Desire to avoid trenching in substation yards

Costs for a 200 foot long 1’ x 1’ trench
+ Mobilization = $5,000
+ Excavation equipment = $9,600
$400/hr = $400 * 24 hrs (assumes all work done in a day)
+ Backfilling equipment = $4,800
$200/hr * 24 hrs (assumes no machine compaction is required and manual compaction will suffice) $200 * 24 hrs = $4800
+ Labor = $8,400
2 laborers at $100/hr and 1 supervisor at $150/hrrate * 24 hrs
+ Conduit and Misc = $6,000
+ Demobilization = $3,000
+ 15-20% contractor margin
= total cost of
$42,000-$44,000

Location (state regulations, geography, labor costs)
Other work contractor is asked to do on site (more work might mean lower per foot cost)
Grading requirement on site
Amount of hand excavation required due to obstructions
Availability of reliable small contractors
Big contractors won’t do work –mobilization/de-mobilization alone >$50,000)
Safety training for working on energized substation
Additional trenches to reach all equipment
Drilling out holes in control cabinets/re-weatherproofing
A closer look at trenching costs
Many factors have a significant impact on cost
December 3, 2015 | Slide 48©ABB
Total Cost of $42,000 -
$44,000
Can easily rise into $100,000 to $150,000 range.
Aware of one real world example where trenching for three devices cost $256,000!
![Page 49: This webinar brought to you by the Relion product family · Automated metering infrastructure ... devices –relays, controls, sensors, IEDs, RTUs Substation automation devices –](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040900/5e6fae3fbd470372954a4a7b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Compare to cost of wireless
Much lower cost for a wireless solution
Assuming 18 IEDs in the substation which need to be connected (6 feeders with 3 x single phase regulators)
Cost of Tropos solution approximately $20,000 including ongoing support, network management system, and a day or two of professional services
Compared to the low-end of our trenching cost range, a wireless system ~50% of trenching cost alone
At high-end of range for trenching, a wireless system would be 10-20% of trenching cost alone
There a lot fewer cost variables with wireless – a network of the same size will cost roughly the same to install in any substation
Time to deploy is going to be faster as permitting, grading, safety considerations, etc., will not be as much of an issue

Starting automate substations with SCADA (specifically voltage regulators)
Communication requirements
Access to control panels without pulling any communications cables
No holes drilled in regulator cabinets as this would increase both installation time and costs
Access to controls from anywhere within the substation
Check or change settings, update firmware and control regulators from safe distance
Readily available monitoring, data logging, power quality, and condition-based maintenance information
Support for proper cyber security standards

SSID of network is hidden
Ethernet used to connect regulator controllers and Tropos wireless bridges
Wireless bridges communicate to a Tropos wireless gateway mounted outside the control house
Gateway connects to Layer 2 switch in the control house via Ethernet
Layer 2 switch also connects to an automation control unit
L2 switch provides optical isolation and allows other devices in substation access to wireless network and substation computer
Protocol used is DNP3 over TCP/IP
Can also access individual controls over the wireless network

Utility had gas monitors that they require readings from a few times a day
Doing lifecycle monitoring and management as lead time on replacement transformers is approximately two years
The substation itself has fiber connectivity (backhaul) but the utility stated it was too difficult and too expensive to install fiber within the substation yard
Previously each gas monitor was connected via a Sierra Wirelesscellular modem
Field communications manager wanted to reduce cellular communication costs
For the pilot, cellular cards with a Tropos 1410 which connect to a gateway at the control house
Still backhauling via cellular out of the substation
Cut cell modem requirement, reducing operating expenses

General reliability – unlike conventional wireless networks, mesh networks have no single points of failure
Multiple redundant communications pathways
Dynamic channel selection plus ability to leverage 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to avoid localized interference on any
one channel or band
Reliability during storms – unlike some microwave networks, mesh networks not susceptible to storm-related problems
Use lower frequency bands than microwave – less susceptible to rain fade
Use 30 foot to 40 foot mounting locations – less sway during when windy
Use omnidirectional antennas – require less precise alignment than the directional antennas used by microwave
Latency – well-designed broadband wireless mesh networks using throughput optimizing mesh routing algorithms can
deliver sub-cycle (<17 ms) latency with individual mesh routers introducing latency of about 1 ms per hop
Security – while some mistakenly believe that wireless networks are inherently less secure than wired networks,
wireless networks can be highly secure
Multi-layer, defense-in-depth security architectures can achieve high levels of security whether using wireline or
wireless
Wireless mesh routers provide technical controls required for NERC CIP v5 compliance and are FIPS 140-2
certified
Addressing red herrings
Wireless networks can be reliable, low latency, secure

Industry context
Substations and critical utility infrastructure are targets of physical security attacks –trespassing, vandalism, theft, sabotage
In past three years, dozens of reported attacks on substations and critical utility infrastructure in the U.S.
All posed dangers to life, property and grid operation
Consequences of most limited but some serious incidents
In one, an intruder shot at a security guard
In another, sabotage took substation out of service for almost a month
Yet another resulted in a power outage to 10,000 customers
Enormous potential for destruction – FERC study concluded that knocking out nine high voltage transmission substations could cause coast-to-coast blackout lasting weeks
In a recent WIRED article, researchers reported that physically breaching a substation is an easy way to launch a cyber-attack

Electronic security is a key component to physical security solutions
Provides greater, around-the-clock coverage
Removes the human element
Evidentiary record for prosecution and deterrence
Robust performance networks required to provide security data including surveillance video, alarm messages, etc.
Video requires high bandwidth, 1Mbps or greater to each camera
Remote access to video and electronic security data decreases response time
Mobile access improves situational awareness
Often overlooked foundation for physical security

Carriers also planning to discontinue their leased line replacement technologies!
The alternative to the POTS lines is to convert them to more
expensive and larger T1 circuits or Multiprotocol Label
Switching (MPLS) circuits over bonded T1s. However…AT&T
states that in addition to the POTS lines, they will withdraw
all non-Ethernet private lines, which include DS0s, T1s,
DS3s, on up to OC48s. This means that utilities upgrading to
T1 or greater copper circuits will have less than five years to
find yet another, more expensive solution.
