    Feeder Automation software

    Eaton’s Feeder Automation (FA) solution is an advanced software solution that focuses on self-healing grid functions such as FLISR (Fault Location, Isolation, Service Restoration) and designed to help lower SAIDI and SAIFI metrics by significantly reducing sustained outages via automated intelligent switching operations.

Eaton’s Feeder Automation (FA) solution turns sustained outages into momentary interruptions

Eaton’s FA is a fault location isolation service resolution solution (FLISR) that enables utilities to quickly reduce the length of outages for customers on an affected feeder—restoring many in under two minutes, some as quickly as 30 seconds. Watch this video to learn more.

Basic training and pro tip videos are available to help you understand and utilize the features of our Feeder Automation software solution.

Faster restoration for better system performance

Performs service restorations in approximately 30 seconds to 2 minutes, significantly reducing outage time, SAIDI and SAIFI.

Feeder Automation (FA) software features

FAULT MANAGEMENT
Quickly detects and isolates faults so that unaffected load sections can be restored via feeders with capacity
VOLTAGE MANAGEMENT
Detects loss-of-voltage situations and can isolate those line sections from the feeder so that the unaffected sections can be restored
LOAD MANAGEMENT
Continuously monitors loads on the system to help prevent overloading in the case of an event
DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCE INTEGRATION

Allows for the integration of distributed energy resources on the system and understands bidirectional current flow

Can even help to control those resources and manage which feeders which they are connected to

MULTIPLE OPEN PROTOCOLS
Automation system is not locked into a proprietary format
FLEXIBLE COMMUNICATION
The system can use existing communication networks without the need to establish a new or separate network for automation
EASY DEVICE INTEGRATION
Controls from many different manufacturers are available via drop-down menus to integrate those devices easily in the system. This feature means that FA software does not lock the utility to a single vendor. We also add new devices to the system upon request so that the automation system is future-proof as new devices are developed.
DYNAMIC TOPOLOGY
Does not need to be in a "normal" topology to function correctly; this means FA software can respond in many different situations for a number of different faults
SIMPLE CONFIGURATION
Makes setting up the FA system straightforward and allows utility companies to truly own their automation system
MINIMAL LINEMAN AND OPERATOR TRAINING

A fully automatic restoration system that requires very little interaction with operators

Is adaptable to the utility company’s current work practices and can be disabled via in-the-field commands, such as hot line tag or local mode, or via operator commands

BUILT-IN SIMULATOR

The exact same logic that powers the automation engine on a FA simulation machine also powers the FA production machine

Testing done in simulation can accurately reflect how the production system will operate

This is very different from distributed systems, where a simulator can only approximate what might happen, because each device\agent operates semi-independently on those types of systems and the simulator always runs on a PC, not the actual hardware

SCALABLE

Can be deployed to control a system with as few as two devices and has operated on systems of over 800 devices in size

The simple configuration makes FA not only very scalable but also easy to maintain as the utility infrastructure evolves

CENTRALIZED AUTOMATION TRACE

As all the data for a FA system comes to a centralized location, it is all logged, timestamped and stored in that one location

This makes understanding what happened easy, with log events and reports that are readable by humans

This allows for continuous improvement of the automation system so that it can be optimized to operate exactly how the utility wants it to be

OPTIONAL REDUNDANCY
FA has the option of having a fully redundant hot standby system, so that if something were to happen to the primary machine, the secondary machine could fill in and take over
SECURITY

FA has undergone extensive security testing and assessments to ensure that it is compliant with the latest best practices in cybersecurity

FA uses Windows Active Directory for Authentication and ties in role-specific authorization based on that authentication

This allows different users and groups to access the system, but only those with the right privileges can make modifications

All the modifications are tracked and recorded
