Fault Location, Isolation and System Restoration (FLISR)
Power instability is no longer an inconvenience - it’s a threat to uptime compliance, data integrity, and operational reputation. Traditional manual switching is too slow for the modern "always-on" economy. PowlSmart™️ electrical grid designs offer solutions to ensure reliability across all forms of power distribution applications.
Powell achieves this by adding automated controls to traditional radial, one-directional system designs. The automation enables the equipment to function in a loop-fed system design arranged in a closed-loop configuration.
Dual source power does not provide a solution on its own. Powell’s automation team designs the needed architecture into our solutions.
These automated solutions provide safe, reliable, redundant power distribution delivering the performance expected in today’s digital environments.
Operational Benefits of FLISR designs include:
- Continuous Monitoring - Powell’s PowlSmart Suite of health monitoring technologies are designed to continuously monitor for the primary failure mechanisms of electrical equipment thereby increasing availability and reliability of your
infrastructure - Enhanced Reliability: Significantly improves performance
indices like SAIDI (duration) and SAIFI (frequency) - Operational Efficiency: Reduces the need for manual switching and physical field inspections, lowering operational costs and vehicle emissions.
- Customer Satisfaction: Minimizes productivity losses for
commercial, industrial, and data center clients by ensuring continuous power supply to non-faulted areas
Powell has a complete line of equipment solutions and application solutions to design a smart grid system that provides reliable and redundant power distribution for utility and data center applications. Click on these links to learn more:
