First Outdoor RC20 Controller Installations in Australia
Australian switchgear engineering NOJA Power are celebrating the
first pole-
top field installations of their new RC20 Recloser Control
product. Forming part
of the ARENA project for gathering of distribution utility
Synchrophasor data,
the Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) capable RC20 unit will be
commissioned
to stream a gigabyte of GPS timestamped network data per day
back to a
central data warehouse for analysis.
NOJA Power’s First RC20 in Outdoor Pole Mount Service
The RC20 is controlling a standard NOJA Power OSM Recloser,
offering
conventional protection to the distribution feeder whilst adding
high resolution
data capture in PMU format. This PMU data will be streamed via
IEC 61850

Sampled Values over IP to a secure cloud data repository, with
additional
IEC61850 R-GOOSE reporting for any system disturbances.
NOJA Power’s participation in this ARENA project aims to capture
real-time
vision of the distribution grid, providing operators with
unprecedented network
performance analytics and granularity. The RC20 provides
distribution network
service providers with a means to aim to tackle the challenges
posed by
intermittency and bidirectional power flow in a network with a
high penetration
of renewable energy.

“This project is a great example of the Australian government,
the electricity
utilities, Energy Queensland and AusNet, the universities, the
University of
Queensland and Deakin University and industry working together
to create and

deploy leading edge technology, reports NOJA Power Group
Managing
Director Neil O’Sullivan. “The real time data logged from these
devices will
now be used by PhD scholars at both universities to research
better ways to
connect and reconnect renewable energy to the distribution grid,
as well as
protect and isolate faults, detect faults and even analyse the
grid to detect and
forecast faults before they happen all with a focus on
increasing distribution
grid reliability with large scale populations of renewable
energy.”
NOJA Power advises the RC20 will be available for general
commercial
release in 2021, whilst research projects using the platform are
continuing
today between DNSP partners, utilities and government
organisations. The
RC20 will take its place as the flagship recloser controller
product for NOJA
Power, supported alongside their RC10 standard offering and
RC15
communications augmented variants. For more information,
