RTU530 product line | Hitachi Energy | RFQ Sourcing Details

RTU530 product line Enabling a self-healing grid RTU530 delivers a new set of features and solutions for the secondary distribution automation segment in addition to many other applications.

The device’s highly customizable design enables the adaptation of input and output modules based on application requirements while a robust design and optional conformal coating guarantee a long cycle life. Low power consumption enables a greener installation while optimizing the capacity of UPS batteries.

The new platform builds upon the functionality of the RTU500 series and adds more processing capacity and a faster communication bus.

This enables you to run out-of-the-box applications such as fault detection, automatic transfer system (ATS), load shedding, or fault detection isolation and restoration (FDIR) within your network and integrates seamlessly with fleet management.

All come embedded with enhanced cybersecurity features such as secure communication, encryption, and security logging which are part of the DNA of the RTU500 series. Measurement modules based on the 530 platform allow a scalable adaption to the substation.

High-accuracy measurement and harmonics enabled strong visibility of the grid.

Automatic transfer system (ATS) ATS provides a continuous power supply made possible by a detection function and an automatic switch-over function from the main source to an alternative energy source. The automatic switchover is triggered by the failure of the active main source.

Transformer monitor and control This consists of simple monitoring of the current flow and fault detection. The application detects long-term or periodical overload stresses and supports in the calculation of the asset’s maintenance plan.

Oil temperature and level monitoring allows detailed analyses of the transformer and protects the environment in case of a transformer-leakage. Measuring voltage and current in the feeders allows an automatic tap changer control to maintain voltage within a defined range in the distribution network.

Generator patrol and control The application fulfills the requirements of a distribution code connecting small scale or l part of this RTU based application. Generators are rotating machines that are subject to vibration and heat while running.

Monitoring of temperature and unbalance caused by a rotor imbalance and unbalance or overload from the grid helps in evaluating the generator’s lifetime.

Fault detection isolation and restoration Automatic logic functionality with measurement and fault detectors and motorized switches allows identifying a faulty cable within a short period of time, to isolate the fault, and to restore the supply.

This application starts with ATS as a simple reconfiguration functionality and goes up to a high-level solution with peer to peer communication.

Monitor and control of switching devices RTU530 takes over the function of monitoring and control of switching devices for pole-top switch ymonitoring and control applications.

The advantage for you is that you save costs for maintenance staff and that you will reduce the average outage duration for each customer (SAIDI).

Monitor and control of DERs Recent developments bring distributed energy resources into the distribution grid and they need to be controlled in order to protect primary equipment and ensure power quality. With the RTU530 you can monitor and control the distributed energy resources (DER).

This enables you to focus on the critical tasks of network management while the RTU locally controls DER.

Monitor and control in Secondary Substation In the automation of secondary substation and ring main units the RTU530 monitors and controls your transformer and in ole network puts you in the situation where some devices might be brand new while others are working since a very long time.

With RTU530 you can bring them together in one system. As a gateway between IEDs and network control system (communication protocols and station bus) it is able to interprete information from all standard protocols. Additionally our gateway is perfect if you want to integrate serial I/Os into your digital station bus.

We offer full protocol support and are able to digitize your data. The changing topology of modern electric networks requires a constant voltage control. This can be automated with the integration of RTU530 in the transformer.

The device can independent from the network control center control the voltage levels and send signals to adjust them. This gives you the time to focus on more important topics in the control center and peace of mind that the RTU530 is the reliable solution for automation.
