ABB, a power and automation technology provider, and Trilliant Inc., an advanced metering solutions provider, have announced the successful interoperability of Trilliant's SecureMesh communications with ABB's Station Automation and Protection products.
This announcement was made as part of activities at GridWeek 2009, held in Washington, D.C.
"The smart grid is moving into a phase where distribution automation is becoming critical, and this capability is largely dependent on the reliability of high-bandwidth, low-latency solutions," says Gary Rackliffe, ABB vice president of smart grids.
SecureMesh’s network infrastructure supports applications ranging from electric meter data collection to low-latency monitoring and control of distribution automation devices, including a wide variety of Station Automation and Protection products from ABB.
Interoperability of distribution protection, control and automation devices was conducted using Trilliant's SecureMesh Gateway and Connector WAN products. A series of peer-to-peer and data protocol packet delivery speed tests were conducted using DNP 3.0, IEC61850 and Modbus protocols simultaneously within Trilliant's SecureMesh communications network. Performance tests were completed using ABB's Station Automation COM 600, and REF 615 and REF 550 advanced feeder protection and control devices.
