Transportation Utility Completes Transformation With Help From QEI
The existing transit utility substation houses hampered the utility’s ability to retrieve operating data as the SCADA and protective-relaying equipment was approaching the end of it’s design life.
- Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) May 09, 2019 - The existing transit utility substation houses hampered the utility’s ability to retrieve operating data as the SCADA and protective-relaying equipment was approaching the end of it’s design life. To address this task QEI worked closely with the utility’s engineers to create a substation house design which could be easily re-produced at multiple locations (to enhance maintenance support) yet remain flexible enough for varying requirements. QEI brought it’s 55 years of SCADA expertise to the task and produced a joint design which focused on a standard replacement of the existing control house functions with the latest gateway
technology.
Rather than providing loose pieces of technology for field integration, QEI designed and provided a unified answer including the IED Gateway, relays, control house structure, AC/DC panels,cable trays, conduits, and batteries. After undergoing a complete
factory acceptance test at the QEI Springfield New Jersey facility, this unified solution was
then shipped to the substations for installation and enduser field acceptance.
