FMC62 Intelligent Line Monitoring System
1. Introduction The modular design of GE´s monitoring systems enables to tailor their own monitoring platform so that it aligns with theirs key strategies for performance improvement of their network, whether this is fault location, increase capacity through dynamic line rating or enhanced network visibility.
Overview
FMC62 Intelligent Line Monitoring System consists of three key components:
Multilin FMC line sensors that provide accurate data inputs on line load and conductor temperature
Multilin SNGTM (Sensor Network Gateway) that provides two way communications between the line sensors, weather stations, and the server based applications
Server-Based applications: Feeder visualizer applications Fault detection, location and analysis application (Multilin X-NETTM) Dynamic line rating calculation and analysis application (T-NETTM) System diagnostic application
Fault detection, location and analysis application (Multilin X-NETTM)
The FMC62 combined with X-NET software is a fault location monitoring system. It consists of three FMCT6 line sensors with built in radio communications and a Sensor Network Gateway (SNG2).
Dynamic line rating calculation and analysis application (T-NETTM)
T-NET software is a monitoring solution that records the conductor surface temperatures and conductor current via the FMCT6 conductor sensors. The T-NET software requires a Davis weather station as it default weather station to record ambient air temperatures, wind speed, wind direction and solar radiation. This allows the T-NET software (server based application) to deliver a dynamic rating for overhead power lines. A Windsonic anemometer may also be used to support the T-Net software with better wind measurements at low speeds but cannot used for T-Net applications solely without the Davis weather station.

Grounding Treatments & Synchronization Utilities around the globe use various types of grounding treatments, and these can be generally classified as high impedance and low impedance. In some cases, utilities use a mixture of grounding treatments in separate parts of their networks. GE’s system has been designed to meet the challenges of capturing faults in both of these grounding treatments, and fundamental to meeting this challenge is accurate timing synchronization. GE’s system timing synchronization works in two distinct ways that is applicable to both types of grounding treatment. In high impedance grounding treatments it is necessary to get a feeder reference voltage to compare the phase of the distributed fault currents at each node. This technique extracts the real part of the fault current, and delivers fault location in these types of grounding treatments. In order for this to work, the voltage reference monitoring device needs to be in accurate time synchronization with the overhead line current sensors. The polarizing voltage is captured in the Multilin monitoring system via an ODV enabled SNG fitted in the substation. This ODV enabled SNG needs to be mounted outside the substation cubicle with a view of the sky so that it can capture GPS timing. This type of SNG can also communicate with line sensors if they are mounted within the radio range. Fault Location
The system reports the fault location as the section of network between the last node that has
seen the fault and the first node on that feeder that has not seen the fault.
Fault Triggering
The notification of a fault in the network is triggered by the system in three distinct ways:
• The line sensor sees a load exceeding its maximum user configured threshold
• The line sensor sees a load that is below its minimum user configured threshold
• A substation SNG monitoring open delta voltage exceeds

Web Console installation
8. Web Console Installation
8.1 Requirements
.NET Platform 3.5 SP1
ILMS 2 Database
Internet Information Services (IIS) with ASP .NET 2.0 registered and static content enabled (for versions higher then 6, the IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility Windows 7 feature must be enabled. IIS 6 Metabase compatibility Windows Server 2008 Role must be enabled)
8.2 Installation Program
ILMS 2 Web Cosole.msi
Setup.exe (required for installation of multiple instances of ILMS 2 Web Console on the
same machine)
8.3 Procedure
To install the ILMS 2 Web Console, start the ILMS 2 Web Console.msi setup program. To do so, double click the file or right click on the file in Windows Explorer and select Install from context menu. You need administrator privileges to install the application correctly.
ILMS 2 Web Controller Setup Wizard initial screen
Page 158 of 202 FMC62 Intelligent line monitoring system instruction manual
Click on the ‘Next’ button to start the setup procedure. A window for the ILMS 2 Web Console type selection will appear. Users can select between X-Net (fault location), T-Net (temperature monitoring and DLR) or both functionalities at the same time.
ILMS 2 Web Console type selection window
When the selection is made, click on the ‘Next’ button. The Installation Address selection window will appear. Users can change the IIS site from the Site drop down list. The IIS virtual directory3 can be changed in the Virtual directory edit box (do not use spaces in the Virtual directory field). The application pool4 selected in Application Pool drop down list should be configured to work with .NET Framework 2.0. If users’ needs to change the physical location of the application’s files, it can be done by editing the path in Physical location edit box or by clicking on the Browse button and selecting the physical location in Browse for Folder classic dialog. The Application Pool or Physical location controls might not be visible in systems with older versions of IIS (lower than 7.0). In the case when the Physical location controls are not visible, the physical installation path will be in wwwroot folder of IIS (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\[virtual directory name]).
3 A virtual directory is a directory name (also referred to as path) that you specify in IIS and map to a physical directory on a local or remote server. The directory name then becomes part of the application's URL, and users can request the URL from a browser to access content in the physical directory, such as a Web page or a list of additional directories and files. If you specify a different name for the virtual directory than the physical directory, it is more difficult for users to discover the actual physical file structure on your server because the URL does not map directly to the root of the site. 4 An application pool provides you with a way of isolating Web sites from each other even though they are being hosted on a common server. Each application pool is given its own set of server resources. That way, if a Web site crashes, it won’t affect sites in other application pools.
