The next time you are in the comfort of your house and the power goes out forĪround a second and comes back, you can make an educated guess that the Within seconds (and possibly even sub-seconds). With an intelligent recloser (IED), this happens automatically and If the tree is no longer touching the line, power is restored to the downstreamĬustomers. The downstream customers (homes) lose power, the recloser closes back in, and In this scenario, the tree branch briefly touches the line, the recloser opens, Times a recloser will automatically close back to attempt to clear the fault. Utility can program the recloser to perform a certain number of ‘shots’ or Have an IED, a fault occurs and customers are without power. Self-healing networks, and improving residential customers uptime.Įxample, if an overgrown tree touches a distribution feeder line that does not Reclosers play a critical role in reliability, Let’s take a look at someĬommon types of IEDs in each SCADA market: Electric UtilitiesĮlectric utilities, there are several application types of IEDs.
#IED PROPLAYER MANUAL#
Taking manual actions and making them automated. Much like traditional industrial factories, they are By using IEDs, utilities are taking a giant step forward in their grid Perform automated actions based on their programming. Utility environment, these IEDs all have something in common-they are intelligent.ĭo I mean by intelligent? Specifically, IEDs speak a protocol language and can It’s intended to serve as a generic term toĬover a comprehensive class of products and applications. SCADA utility segments (either gas, water or electric), IED stands for Illustrating my point further, the IED acronym is also used in military jargon, but that type of IED is not the scope of this article.
IED is another one that may mean two different things depending on your perspective, background, and experiences. To others in the SCADA market, PLC may mean Programmable Logic Controller. For example, to you, PLC may mean Power Line Carrier. Like most acronyms, they often mean different things to different audiences.
