T&D
Technology Solutions Needed for Universal
Challenges
Department heads today face more demanding
challenges than ever before. Older infrastructures
are asked to work harder. In many companies,
technical staffing in operational areas gets smaller
every year, not larger.
Legacy systems were never designed nor intended
to address today’s critical Information Technology
(IT) performance and reliability issues. Legacy
systems typically address the most valuable asset
data only as historical data. While these systems
move the data, they fail to perform the meaningful
analysis needed.
Working smarter and not harder is no longer a
luxury; it has become a staple of department
survival. Improved T&D management, through IT,
has become a critical component and a powerful
ally in the battle to meet these daily challenges.
From the perspective of the bottom line, every
utility is facing similar challenges today. You’re
trying to squeeze extra life and higher capacity
out of aging equipment, and you’re attempting to
do this with ever-shrinking staffs. Dealing with
these universal challenges is why so many
invest in substation automation.
PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
THAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF EVERY DEPARTMENT
At AREVA T&D we understand that all of your departments need to work together to
determine what specific analysis actions will mitigate, or even prevent, outage
events and save substantial amounts of time, money and embarrassment.
With e-terraanalyst, no one gets left behind. Your Operations Department gets fault
reporting and lightning correlation; your Systems Protection Department gets
automated fault reporting and fault clearing analysis; your Maintenance Department
gets apparatus predictive maintenance and asset management; your Power Quality
Department gets fault and power quality identification and reporting; Your Customer
Services Department gets useful Commercial and Industrial customer data like
energy use and power quality.
e-terraanalyst ™
Automatic fault analysis and user notification
for predictive maintenance
INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY
Automatic collection and analysis of data frees
engineers from time consuming data collection and
manual analysis, allowing them to concentrate on
solving problems.
IMPROVED RELIABILITY
Automatic data analysis makes you aware of problems
sooner. Instead of doing a post-failure analysis,
e-terraanalyst proactively looks for specific conditions
that cause problems on your system, and notifies you
of potential problems, allowing you time to fix possible
issues before they cause an outage.
IMPROVED RESTORATION TIMES
When a fault occurs, the automatic analysis can provide
you with timely information that has previously taken
hours to collect and review. This can directly affect your
restoration time statistics – and your bottom line.
REDUCED MAINTENANCE COSTS
You’ll get better visibility of which equipment is starting
to break down and needs work, allowing a lower cost
maintenance visit instead of equipment replacement
after a catastrophic failure.
SAVE TIME AND MONEY WITH AREVA T&D
AREVA T&D monitors power system equipment such as
transformers, breakers, and other utility assets to
ensure they remain in peak operating condition and to
minimize usage interruptions.
Our solutions automatically track equipment operation
parameters and detect abnormal operating conditions.
This allows your substation personnel to take
immediate action to improve reliability and extend
equipment life. And, our system integrates easily with
other maintenance and asset management IT solutions,
allowing condition-based maintenance strategies.
We use all the data available and compile it to create
meaningful performance and reliability information. In
addition, we provide state-of-the-art tools that are easy
to use so that you can utilize this information to save
time and money.

Active Substation is a system that monitors the health
Our software comes complete with the following modules of all key components running at the substation. This
to address all your substation automation needs. gives owners and operators faster alarming and
reporting when they need it.
> Active Asset Management

Active Asset Management is an active and

comprehensive analysis of non-operational data. This
data is used to generate reliability alarms if symptoms
of pending equipment failure are detected. The data is
also used to create reliability reports and customized
analysis reviews, to determine if equipment can be
remotely restored after a fault.

your specific challenges assuring a return on
