Australian switchgear engineers NOJA Power are celebrating the achievement of certification of their RC10 Recloser Controller to the IEC 61850 standard for substation communications by German certification provider TÜV Süd.
The concept of SCADA control of an Energy Distribution Network is not a new one, but grappling with the communications challenges of a system distributed over a large geographic area persists as a major challenge. Whilst improvements in communications technology has been seen, it is mostly enjoyed by urban distributors, where population density can justify the expenditure of improving telecomm
31 May 2017 Brisbane Australia – If a utility engineer has ventured anywhere near an industry conference in the last 10 years it could be assumed that they have been exposed to the new universal communications and substation definition standard of IEC 61850. Whilst it has been successful in the electricity transmission space, it has seen very little usage in distribution networks.
November 2016, Tasmania Australia – TasNetworks has recently deployed secure remote engineering access to their NOJA Power RC10 Series controlled Automatic Circuit Reclosers. TasNetworks have provided their engineers with improved capability to analyse faults and quicken response times.
Brisbane, Qld, Australia – 2016 - Electrical switchgear manufacturer NOJA Power today announces that its OSM Automatic Circuit Reclosers (ACRs or “reclosers”) are being successfully utilised as capacitor switches in Colombia.
Brisbane, Qld, Australia – October 18, 2016 – Electrical switchgear engineers NOJA Power today announces that its Quezon City, Philippines-based distributor, Power Equipment & Supplies Inc. (PESIN), is supplying OSM15 Automatic Circuit Reclosers (ACRs or “auto reclosers”) to National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR), a major Philippine utility.
Brisbane, Qld, Australia – August 16 – Australian Switchgear manufacturer NOJA Power today unveils the new implementation of ANSI 25 Synchro-Check and Auto-Synchroniser relay functionality for their RC10 Recloser Controller System.
Electrical switchgear engineers NOJA Power today announces successful participation in a demonstration of its RC10 control and communication cubicle (for the company’s OSM series Automatic Circuit Reclosers (“auto-recloser” or ACR)) communicating with other manufacturers’ Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) by using an industry-standard protocol.
“Whether its 2 or 2000 reclosers, RMS Electric / NOJA Power work hard to ensure the best technical solutions are delivered to our customers and their requirements are achieved to complete satisfaction. The successful long term relationship of RMS and AMPLA, is one example of the many successful projects in Brazil” says Bruno Kimura from RMS Electric.
NOJA Power’s OSM Reclosers are shipped with the TELUS software package. The TELUS software package allows engineers to remotely analyse fault data configuration settings, accessing detailed data such as fault profiles and remotely changing protections settings. These abilities can be used to provide in depth remote monitoring and control of the OSM smart reclosers.
