EGM partnered with the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) to evaluate the distribution fault location performance of its Meta-Alert system through hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR). Reliability and affordability continue to be key concerns for utilities as they modernize aging infrastructure and integrate new resources onto the grid. But a momentary fault is still a fault event that disrupts customers and any one of them may signal a developing permanent fault. The ADMS Test Bed is a national, vendor-neutral effort to accelerate industry development and the adoption of ADMS capabilities. One was selected and its characteristics were recreated in NLR’s ADMS Test Bed and then modified to match common grounding practices in the United States.
