Station Communications over Transmission Lines
Amperion's station-to-station communications over high voltage transmission lines expands utility network coverage beyond the existing fiber backbone to connect remote stations in a cost effective way. It uses innovative Broadband over Powerline technology over the utility's own transmission wires and provides a significant price/performance benefit compared to any other communications technology. Current implementations support up to 69kV and up to 5 miles distance. Amperion is actively working with its partners to extend the rate to 138kV and to expand the reach to 10 miles.
Applications include:
- Protective digital relaying and control
- SCADA expansion
- Station surveillance and asset protection
- Sensors and synchrophasor data streaming
