Cyber Security Services
SEL cybersecurity services help customers assess, support, and develop control system security infrastructure. Our services support NERC (North American Electric Reliability Corporation) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards as well as other security standards and regulations. SEL personnel have multidisciplinary experience in substations, control systems, and information security, and maintain multiple industry security certifications.
Autosynchronization System
SEL Autosynchronization Systems measure voltage and frequency on both the generator and the utiliy system, send proportional correction pulses to adjust the governor and exciter as necessary, and automatically close the breaker on synchronization. This process enables safe, secure, unattended synchronization of generation onto the power system.
Distribution Automation Control System
Automate feeder restoration and reduce outage times with the SEL Distribution Automation Control System. The systen analyzes and detects fault conditions, isolates affected feeder sections, and restores power to unaffected sections. The system includes simple drag-and-drop IEC 61131 function block configuration software on an SEL information processor, with the ability to automate up to six sources and 100 devices.
Model Power System Testing
Improve power system performance in critical applications, validate relay performance, and optimize settings using model power system testing. SEL creates a computer model of your power system, enabling endless possibilities for testing protection and control systems under realistic conditions using a Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS®). A typical simulation of 500–1,000 fault cases can be run in less than one day, providing the equivalent of many years of operating history, which allows you to gain insight into the limits of your system.Power Management Solutions
Maximize system uptime and mitigate problems before you experience an outage with proactive, high-speed load shedding, generation control, voltage control, and load management. powerMAX provides total system awareness through graphical user interfaces, automatic waveform capture, report analysis software, and report generation tools.Protection & Automation Services
SEL protection and automation services have been implemented in power systems around the world. SEL engineers approach each new project with years of experience and a broad knowledge base, which provide the best solution for your system. • Scheme design • Relay settings • HMI design and programming • Communications architecture design and programming • Field testing and commissioning • Fault and coordination studiesSCADA System Solutions
SEL designs, develops, tests, and deploys complete supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems to monitor and control your systems or processes. We have experiences in providing various system sizes, ranging from simple standalone to complex networked systems. We design SCADA systems to assist with outage management, asset optimization, just-in-time (JIT) maintenance, load shedding, load restoration, access control, cybersecurity, and more. Our knowledgeable engineers will work with your operations requirements, preferred software, and existing equipment to create a SCADA solution that is right for you.Synchrophasor Systems
Synchronized phasor measurements (synchrophasors) provide a real-time measurement of electrical quantities from across a power system. SEL can help you apply these measurements to validate system models, measure stability margin, maximize stable system loading, and implement remedial action schemes (RAS).Power System Studies
SEL provides power system studies for small to large electric utilities, independent power producers, and industrial plants. SEL can help you better understand your power system, identify deficiencies, provide analysis and recommendations to improve performance, and comply with electrical standards and codes.Arc-Flash Hazard Services
SEL conducts flexible, customized arc-flash hazard services to mitigate arc-flash hazard risk, improve employee safety, and address OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910) and the National Fire Protection Association Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace (NFPA 70E). SEL uses proven methods to calculate flash-protection boundaries and classify each area into proper personal protective equipment (PPE) categories, among many other services for providing a complete, cost-effective arc-flash solution for your facility.
Asset Management Services
SEL monitors and analyzes your system to help extend maintenance intervals, lengthen asset life, maximize engineering resources, and allow you to make better decisions. This customizable service may range from detailed analysis and reporting on a system event to periodic monitoring and reporting on your assets.
Engineering Design and Drafting Services
Using computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) systems, SEL can provide design and drafting services for your electrical power project.
