New Technology from SEL Propels Distribution System Reliability Improvements
Feb 15, 2019
Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc., has released the SEL-FLT and SEL-FLR Fault and Load Transmitter and Receiver System. The system allows utilities to detect and respond to faults quickly, making distribution systems more reliable.
The SEL-FLT and SEL-FLR System locates permanent and momentary faults on distribution systems to help restore power fast and reduce or eliminate power interruptions, improving utility CAIDI and MAIFI metrics. It also provides accurate load data to enable proactive planning and more effective switching decisions.
The SEL-FLT and SEL-FLR System combines five important features in one system:
- Seamless integration into existing networks. The DNP3/IP output ties directly into the utility communications network and existing SCADA or outage management systems (OMSs).
- Load monitoring data accurate to 1 percent and reported as frequently as every 5 minutes.
- Strong cybersecurity features, including 128-bit wireless encryption, device and message authentication, role-based user authentication, syslog, and more. The system uses a private wireless network that avoids the vulnerabilities of sending data over public networks.
- Line-powered transmitters. The SEL-FLT Transmitters need just 3.5 A of line current to operate, so utilities can cover more of their distribution systems to improve safety and reliability.
- A 10-mile range (longest in the industry). Plus, every SEL-FLR Receiver can support up to 168 SEL-FLT Transmitters to cover even large distribution networks.

Electronic waste is a huge issue, with Statista estimating nearly 50 million metric tons were generated globally last year alone.* Some of the materials traditionally used in LED lamp and luminaire components contribute to e-waste, and the industry is seeking more sustainable material alternatives. Thermally conductive (TC) polycarbonates, like those from Covestro, can replace aluminum in heat sinks, providing just such a replacement option. (The back enclosure of the A.L.P. Lighting Recruit wall mount fixture, shown in photo, is injection moulded from Makrolon TC polycarbonate.)

Internet use is trending towards bandwidth-intensive content and an increasing number of attached “things.” At the same time, mobile telecom networks and data networks are converging into a cloud computing architecture. To support needs today and tomorrow, computing power and storage is being inserted out on the network edge in order to lower data transport time and increase availability. Edge computing places data acquisition and control functions, storage of high bandwidth content, and applications closer to the end user. This white paper explains the drivers of edge computing and explores the various types of edge computing available.

Whether sitting in a second-floor meeting space, or entering the lobby, it’s impossible not to notice the playful lighting fixtures at Dot Foods, Inc. At night, even passers-by can enjoy the circular fixtures that are visible through the two-storey pane glass windows of its Mt. Sterling, Illinois location.
Dot Foods is the largest food industry redistributor in the U.S. and has been expanding and renovating throughout its headquarters over a couple of years. The main lobby area is the latest to get an upgrade, and as the first point of contact for many entering the facility it had to leave an instant impression.
