41


Transformer - Save

• In late 2011 noticed increased gassing from annual oil test results from laboratory.

• In early 2012 Purchased a portable DGA unit and began to test and monitor transformer oil.

• In summer 2012 implemented PI System. • In fall 2012 installed a 7 gas oil monitoring unit created tags in

PI Data Archive • Created PI Report and configured a Trigger in CMMS to monitor

gassing vs. load and oil temperature • Consulted with transformer SME’s (provided SME’s PI Server data)

PowerStream’s Micro Grid Projects

50

• Micro Grids work in the same way as large-scale electricity delivery systems or the grid, but instead of delivering electricity to hundreds of thousands or millions of customers at a time, they can be scaled down and customized to meet the needs of communities or even just one customer.

• Micro Grids rely on a mix of clean and renewable sources of generation and can operate independently or feed electricity back to the grid.


Micro Grid Demonstration Project

• Launched the Micro Grid demonstration project in November 2013 at its head office in Vaughan, Ontario.

• Using the project to evaluate a Micro Grid’s performance while it is connected to, and also disconnected from, the provincial grid.

Penetanguishene Micro Grid – PowerStream / KEPCO Project (2016)

• Partnership between PowerStream and Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) • Installed adjacent to one of PowerStream’s Municipal Substations • Operated from PowerStream’s System Control Centre with remote monitoring using

PI System for PowerStream • Provides power to customers even when there is a loss of supply from the provincial

grid • Connected to PowerStream’s distribution feeder that provides up to 11 hours of

backup power for approximately 400 customers in Penetanguishene, ON, Canada. • Micro Grid will operate either connected to the grid (grid mode) or disconnected

from the grid (island mode) • Comprised of

– Two 500 kilowatt-hours (kWh) batteries – One 750 kilowatt power control system

• Construction underway - 2016 implementation

RESULTS AND BENEFITS BUSINESS CHALLENGES SOLUTION

Summary

59

A. Optimize Maintenance practices and improve system reliability

B. Provide and utilize Operational data outside of SCADA (Operations)

C. Build Operations Dashboards and expand the use of PI System

A. SCADA to PI connectivity

B. Integrated PI System to CMMS and OMS

C. Utilize PI Notifications to alert on potential failures

D. Build Dashboards

• Real-time information to those who need it

• Increased equipment monitoring and alerting

• Information is current and consistent

• Improved Reliability and Availability

There is a constant pressure to do more with less. Improve reliability and availability. In order to achieve this, the same information needs to be made available in multiple systems.

Data turned into Information is the key to achieving Operational efficiency.
