Monitoring and Control

Ensto switchgear controllers, smart equipment for MV/LV distribution substations, as well as MV overhead lines. These solutions allow MV ring main unit to 8 channels or overhead switches to be controlled, current to be measured and faults to be detected (power surges and earth faults) for networks with impedance-earthed neutral point treatment or a neutral earthing compensator.

Controller can be operated locally or remotely via a SCADA system using the types of communication protocols set out in this document, by means of a cyber-secure VPN tunnel. Ensto switchgear controllers have been developed to meet the new requirements of smart grids.

The distributed generation controllers (D.E.I.E.) is a control/monitoring unit that manages the remote control and monitoring of decentralised generating installations. 

The product is installed in MV distribution substations. It encompasses all the functionalities necessary for managing decentralized production like Wind mills, Photovoltaic generation, Micro generation, Gas turbine, Hydraulic generation. 

The DEIE cabinet assists in the remote control and monitoring of decentralized production installations. Various communication media with the control station are available to meet all needs (RTC, RADIO, or IP) according to HNZ and IEC104 protocols.

Ensto’s LYNX 4425 is a current fault detector for medium voltage underground cable networks of 10 to 24 kV operating with an impedance-earthed or compensated neutral system. 

Its main function is to make the electricity distribution networks more efficient. When the faults are detected and located quickly, a lot of time and money are saved, and the number and the duration of power outages can be minimized. 

Accurate, reliable fault detection and location with Ensto LYNX:

• Easy to install stand-alone device.
• Very reliable and accurate fault detection.
• Long lifetime with supercapacitor.
