Relay Settings

For Utilities and Vendors

Problem

Today’s microprocessor relays are multifunctional and often rely on communication interfaces with other intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and remote terminal units (RTUs). These relays, along with new technologies like IEC 61850 that offer cheaper cost and faster installation, require greater understanding of the operating environment, underlying communications, and compliance requirements to get the relays programmed right the first time. So many of these devices are being set with the wrong protection settings, wrong communication protocols, unused ports enabled, and are often left with default passwords. Worst of all you may not know the relay was misconfigured until its too late.

Solution

Imagine a team of protection and control settings engineers with years of experience coupled with a knowledge of the latest protocols and standards with the added expertise of cybersecurity and compliance.

Approach

Our interdisciplinary team brings together under one roof the experience and expertise in cutting edge protection and control applications along with compliance and cybersecurity of these grid edge devices. Our primary concern is ensuring that your relays are properly programmed to operate as expected and compliant with all applicable standards (both PRC and CIP) and industry best practices.
