Controllers - Accessories: WS02-SGWC1-L10 Application Field and Working Principle

The WS02-SGWC1-L10, commonly referred to as the “Smart Grid Widening Controller”, is an advanced distributed energy resource management system (DERMS) that provides wide-area protection, control, and energy management functions for modern power grids. It is also one of the prominent components of the “Smart Grid Solution”, defined as a global initiative to bring new technologies to the power grid industry that would enhance efficiency, reliability, and security of current energy networks.

The WS02-SGWC1-L10 is a robust, all-in-one device designed to help system operators manage and protect power networks. Its primary purpose is to reduce the impact of large-scale disruption on the grid, such as what is seen with wild storms, power outages, and other unpredictable factors. By monitoring weather conditions, power transmission lines, and the local power station’s performance, the WS02-SGW-C1-L10 can redeploy energy resources quickly and efficiently to prevent disruption throughout the grid, thus providing a more reliable and cost-effective power infrastructure. Thus, this type of controller can be the ideal solution for modern power grids, by eliminating any potential risks associated with prolonged disruption.

The WS02-SGWC1-L10 is packed with various features designed to facilitate its primary purpose, amongst which are the ability to manage both the primary and secondary control loops, support multiple communication protocols, store up to 20 million historical records, and support general networking functions. Additionally, the controller significantly reduces human intervention, by communicating with the control room, distant station, and other automatized devices. All in all, the controller’s primary task is to govern the distribution of energy resources and to increase a power system’s stability and reliability.

In terms of operation, the WS02-SGWC1-L10 consists of three main components. The first of these is the Smart Grid Widening Supervisory Control System (SGWC-S1), which is the main software component of the controller that’s responsible for controlling all operations and managing any incoming data. This component interacts with various communication protocols such as the Ethernet, RS485/DSM-485, OPC and AS-simplified TCP/IP, allowing the controller to communicate with various systems with ease. In addition, the SGWC-S1 also includes a built-in control feature that automatically evaluates data and adjusts the system to prevent any abnormal operations.

The second component is the Meter Reading System (MRS), which can be used to receive and send kilowatts of electricity from the local power station to the controller. This component is essential for accurately tracking the amount of electricity used throughout the grid, as well as for monitoring the performance of various power facilities. Finally, the last component of the WS02-SGWC1-L10 is the System Integration Unit (SIU), which is responsible for helping to provide the necessary data for reallocating energy resources in real time. This component helps to reduce the need for manual intervention, as it is capable of analyzing incoming data and adjusting the system accordingly.

The WS02-SGWC1-L10 is an extremely efficient and reliable tool for optimising the efficiency of modern power grids. By allowing the accurate reallocation of energy resources with minimal human input, it can provide a system stability and reliability that’s second to none.
