The Path to a Digital Substation with the WAGO Application Grid Gateway

 7 May 2021

Improving Network Management and Operation

Network operators and municipal utilities can’t ignore the digitalization of the energy sector and the efficiency increases required by new regulations. WAGO Application Grid Gateway now offers the operators of power distribution networks a solution they can rely on for digitizing substations. This allows them to improve network management and operation while avoiding unnecessary grid expansion. Here you can find out exactly what WAGO Application Grid Gateway is and how it benefits asset managers and network managers.

WAGO Application Grid Gateway: Improving Network Management and Operation!

WAGO Application Grid Gateway primarily supports operators of power distribution networks in assessing network performance with digital substations to improve network management and operation. WAGO Application Grid Gateway replaces imprecise assumptions and estimates with real, accurate measured values for network monitoring of typical grid configurations – on both the medium-voltage and low-voltage levels. The results include better network status assessments and the possibility of resource-efficient network coordination and economical grid expansion. WAGO Application Grid Gateway is an economical solution that helps advance the digitalization of new and existing substations. This is possible thanks to precise measurement on up to 80 channels and acquisition of state data for subsequent recipient-specific preprocessing in the network station, secure transfer with accuracy down to the second, and remote monitoring. That, in turn, allows transparent data acquisition in a substation for up to two transformers with 15 low-voltage outputs each.

What is the WAGO Application Grid Gateway?

WAGO Application Grid Gateway is an application that makes it possible to easily commission a small-scale telecontrol system in the substation through simple parameter setting. Storage and transfer of measured data, as well as visualization, are handled in a decentralized manner by the second-generation WAGO PFC200 programmable logic controller (PLC). The PLC is installed in the substation as a small-scale telecontrol system. In the complete configuration, WAGO Application Grid Gateway can be used with a single WAGO PFC200 to acquire data from two transformers with 15 outputs each on the medium- and low-voltage outputs.
