Volt/Var management software

Eaton's Yukon Volt/Var management software solution monitors real-time voltages, watts and VARs from LTCs, regulators, capacitors, medium voltage sensors and additional monitoring points such as customer meters and assess the characteristic of energy delivery. Based on that assessment, the Yukon Volt/Var Management software will issue a control command to a load tap changing transformer, a voltage regulator or a capacitor bank  automatically without operator interaction. The solution improves the distribution system efficiency and mitigates operational issues. The Yukon Volt/Var management software solution is one of Eaton's grid automation system solutions.

Viktiga egenskaper

  • Voltage and power factor control
  • Conservation voltage reduction support
  • Easy implementation, maintenance and data importation
  • Voltage management during forward and reverse power flow conditions due to renewables integration

Supporting a greener energy footprint

Because the Yukon Volt/Var Management software applications support power factor and voltage management, the delivery of electricity is more efficient, higher quality and less costly, enabling utilities to benefit from a greater percentage of energy being delivered to paying customers, deferred installation costs for new generation plants and a greener energy footprint.

Sophisticated automation

Sophisticated automation results in a greater percentage of energy delivered to customers, deferred installation costs of new generation plants and a greener energy footprint

  • Collect real-time feeder voltages, watts and var flow from regulators, capacitors and other monitoring points and then analyze data for optimum performance
  • Browser-based user interface enables easy management and monitoring, with real-time visual displays, graphs, alerts and historical data
Specifikationer

Volt/VAR management software

Features

LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP

Easy to implement because data requirements are simple and easily imported

Integrates to external systems because it supports industry integration standards and protocols

Easy to maintain because it flexibly supports different types of communications networks and third-party LTCs, regulators, and capacitor bank controls

Validates the operation of the communications messages through command response analysis

EMS/SCADA INTEGRATION

Integrated to several types of EMS/SCADA systems

Typical and recommended integration is via DNP 3.0 protocol

Will poll DNP data from the EMS/SCADA system via DNP 3.0 Master/Slave integration to retrieve substation data

OPERATIONAL VALIDATION AND ALARMING

Supports additional features that enable cost-effective maintenance and administration of an automated system. 

Tracks asset maintenance and troubleshooting information 

Automatically flags capacitor banks for testing, either due to a testing schedule or an identified operational failure

Will test the capacitor bank at light load during the middle-night by cycling the state of the capacitor bank and verifying the operation by monitoring the var value changes. If an unexpected var change is seen on one or more phases, the Yukon Volt/Var Management solution will flag that capacitor as failed

LOSS OF COMMUNICATION

Will tolerate a number of stale device measurements based upon a utility specified configurable percentage

If 10% of the device measurements are stale, and the configurable percentage of stale device measurements is 20%, the Yukon solution will continue to analyze and operate the devices to which it continues to communicate.

If 30% of the device measurements are stale and the configurable percentage of stale device measurements is 20%, Yukon will disable automated control

HISTORICAL REPORTING

Provides many standardized reports necessary for system administration

Yukon has a built-in, intuitive reporting interface that can mine any archived data from the database, along with useful configuration information

Report templates exist to present data regarding capacitor bank operations, alarms and conditions, excessive bank operation counts as well as the report identifying failed capacitor banks

Also reports on communications and operational statistics

SERVER ARCHITECTURE

Eaton recommends deploying Yukon in a three-tier computing architecture as recommended by NIST SP800-82

This architecture separates the database, application and presentation services to independent servers and trusted security levels within the utility

Firewalls are used to set up segregated zones and manage the flow of traffic between these zones

This architecture physically and logically separates the computing functions with the goal of preventing an unauthorized application from accessing field devices, and protecting the enterprise from the field

DISASTER RECOVERY AND HIGH AVAILABILITY

Can be deployed using the high availability, disaster recovery and backup processes already defined by the utility's IT team

A hierarchal relationship is established between the Yukon Volt/Var Management solution core services that provide a clean application shutdown and organized dependency failover if a failure of some type occurred
