Network proliferation of distributed generation and renewable sources provides a new source of technical challenge for utility engineers and distribution network service providers (DNSPs). The traditional models of network performance are confined to performance domain of low harmonic sinusoids, modelling the traditional synchronous generator power flow methods for design and monitoring of a network.

Whilst equipment tenders are the ubiquitous technique for achieving optimised up-front costs for capital equipment purchase, the truly excellent tender ROI performance is reserved for tender process design that also captures operating expenditures of assets for evaluation. This TOTEX, or total expenditure, is a metric which shows the genuine performance of assets over time and optimisation of this factor is the hallmark of the sagacious asset manager.

SEL recently released a new cellular router that helps utilities securely use public cellular networks for communication with remote equipment and devices. This new router allows utilities to upgrade from older 3G technology and extend communications to previously unreachable areas of their power systems.
