High Speed Fault Clearing Systems (HSFCS) and distribution automation are dynamic and advancing technologies in the electric power industry. These self-healing systems intelligently control and configure distribution systems, such that fault clearing happens within 6 cycles and power restoration on the distribution system is precise and automated. The seamless restoration of power without human interaction is extrememly important for critical applications such as casinos, hotels, data centers, and universities. This presentation will discuss the design and fault detection challenges associated with installed high speed fault clearing systems.
Paul Pabst is an electrical engineer in the power systems services division at S&C Electric Company. His major involvements have been in the full-scale design, testing, and commissioning of high speed fault clearing systems and in turn-key substation design projects. Paul received his bachelor's degree from Purdue University in 2007 and is presently the vice-chair of the Chicago Chapter of the IEEE Power & Energy Society.
