Feeder Information System

The FIS leverages the current generation of intelligent devices in a electricity distribution network. Intelligent pole-top devices collect more information than most control systems can use. However, this information is valuable to planners and protection engineers, and is sometimes mandated by the regulator.

The FIS communicates directly with the telemetry devices. Basic realtime information is passed on to the main SCADA system, more detailed realtime and history information is made available via a web interface.

Features

  • makes protection, detailed event history, and quality of supply information available wherever it is needed
  • effects bandwidth conservation in the telemetry network
  • converts telemetry protocols
