Substation & network automation

Primary substations

The secure and reliable management of supply systems is becoming more and more important as the requirements for infrastructure increase and penalties for service interruptions begin to be charged.

Compact substation gateway

The Netcon GW502‑iM is a standalone gateway/RTU that includes all the functionality needed in a substation without conventional, individually wired IO. It comes standard with the dozens of telecontrol protocols supported by Netcontrol’s NFE software.

Modular substation gateway & RTU

The Netcon 500 can be equipped with the required number of Ethernet, serial and individually wired IO interfaces for connection to protection relays and other subordinate devices, therefore being suitable for medium and large substations.

Substation HMI

The Netcon 500 OP is a modern, touch‑screen‑based operator panel for the Netcon 500 RTUs of primary substations and similar applications in other fields.

Substation SCADA

The Netcon 3000 Compact is an advanced single‑user, one-computer SCADA system that can be combined with the Netcon 500 RTUs of primary substations.

Secondary substations

The automation of secondary substations requires the ability to monitor and operate distribution switchgear over a wide area in a cost-effective, safe and speedy manner.

Smart distribution RTU

The Netcon 100 is a control and monitoring solution for smart distribution networks, capable of the remote/local control of switching devices as well as power quality measurements and sophisticated fault indications for medium voltage feeders. It can even include integrated feeder protection with auto-reclosing.

Central power quality database and analyser

The Netcon PQA system gathers power quality and energy data from Netcon 100 substation and other distributed devices using secure VPN connections and stores them in a high-capacity central database. It has tools that help you analyse all the collected data and automatically generates reports.

Network automation

Netcontrol provides a range of products for the remote control of electricity networks and the disconnection of faulty network sections.

Actuator for disconnectors and load switches

The Netcon 1 is a powerful and reliable motor actuator for the remote control of disconnectors and load switches.

Telemetry

Collecting analogue and digital data from the remote sites and presenting them to the central system is a vital component of any successful remote control and telemetry system.

Compact and versatile RTU

The FastNet RTU can be used for small-scale data acquisition and remote control and also works as protocol converter and gateway.

Remote terminal for cathodic protection

Netcontrol offers FastNet-based remote units for the monitoring and control of the cathodic protection systems of structures such as pipelines.

Energy monitoring and management

To achieve a net-zero carbon society, it is important first to understand the performance of our power networks. Only after we have identified power quality issues such as excessive reactive power and energy losses due to other reasons can we rationally take steps towards reducing them. Netcontrol’s Netcon 100 and Netcon 500 RTUs have the ability to measure these factors at electrical substations, for both medium and low voltage. It is important, however, to understand the losses in the whole of our low voltage (LV) networks, including those on large industrial premises. Netcontrol therefore offers other solutions as well to allow IDNOs and the energy-intensive industry to measure deep into their LV networks.

The mass of data resulting from such measurements also needs to be efficiently collected and processed before we can make any real use of it. The Netcon PQA is a cyber-secure, robust and versatile system designed help you manage and make sense of all the data.

Central power quality database and analyser

The Netcon PQA system gathers the power quality and energy data, whatever their source, using secure VPN connections and stores them in a high-capacity central database. It has tools that help you analyse all the collected data and automatically generates reports. The data and reports will then be available to all authorised users simply via a web browser.

Low voltage distribution monitoring

While the Netcon 100 has comprehensive LV measurement capabilities, the more compact and economical Eneida EWS DTVI unit enables you to monitor LV feeders even at transformer stations for which such a sophisticated RTU may not be economically justified. The EWS DTVI can send power quality as well as current and voltage measurements to the Netcon PQA server via a GSM or Ethernet network.

Monitoring of on-site energy consumption

The cost-effective, portable and easy to install Wibeee measurement devices along with the associated web application allow industrial consumers to monitor their on-site energy consumption in detail.
