Self-Organising Protection(SOP) System to ensure safe &reliable operation of portable power solutions
The Self-Organising Protection System, developed within the Institute for Energy and Environment at the University of Strathclyde increases flexibility and optimises the utilisation of generation capacity by providing a self-organising solution. The self-configuring nature of the protection system ensures that despite changes to the generation capacity, installed load or power network configuration, the protection settings can automatically update to reflect the new conditions.
The modular nature of the invention allows additional connections, either loads or generation, to be added without significant installation time. The continuous self-configuring nature of the settings improves performance by adapting to the conditions of the dynamic network. For example, adding multiple redundant supply paths for important loads to create a meshed network can be simply achieved as this system will both identify the change and take the necessary measures to adapt its coverage.Key Benefits
- “Plug and play” solution without grading calculations or settings to be applied
- Inherent multi-level backup protection
- Elimination of engineering tasks normally necessary in field deployments
- Increased network reliability and enhanced protection performance
- Very fast fault clearance
- Suitable for packaging within existing standard distribution units
Applications
- Utility grid applications
- Military (UK and overseas)
- Disaster relief
- Large scale public events
- Industrial applications
