Experience with a distributed-intelligence, self-healing solution for medium-voltage feeders on the Isle of Wight

摘要

This paper discusses the experiences of Scottish and Southern Energy plc since implementing an automated distribution feeder self-healing pilot project on the Isle of Wight, in 2008. Using peer-to-peer communication and real-time feeder loading data, this distributed-intelligence solution utilizes the S&C IntelliTeam II® Automatic Restoration System to control seven feeder breakers and 32 S&C IntelliRupter® PulseClosers on eleven 11-kV interconnected feeders.
