NovaTech Case Study

Customer

Wisconsin Public Service Co., Green Bay, WI (UPPCO) -- L'Anse Substation (one of 12 automated substations)

Project Scope
Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) came to NovaTech looking for an improved automation solution for their substations. They needed more information from the new IEDs - relays, meters, regulators - being installed in the subs. They needed a solution that was flexible, yet powerful enough to handle a wide range of protocols and physical interfaces found in the dozen plus substations scheduled for upgrade. NovaTech offered the Orion5r Automation Platform and provided on-site training to get them started. Over a dozen WPS substations now share a common Orion-based design.

• Integrate modern IEDs into a modern RTU, while continuing to use legacy RTU as I/O

• Access SEL Relays through the RTU, eliminating the need for a "comm processor"

• Eliminate media converters and other external boxes where possible to simplify design
