SEL Engineering Services
Wildfire Risk Mitigation
Mitigating the risk of electrically ignited wildfires demands a layered approach that employs the best technology available to prevent, detect, and respond to faults in both transmission and distribution systems.
SEL delivers turnkey wildfire mitigation solutions, including comprehensive consulting, commissioning, and field testing.
Transmission System Solutions
- Detect broken conductors before they hit the ground by using the advanced logic available in SEL protective devices.
- Predict incipient faults with line monitoring.
- Clear faults faster with time-domain protection.
- Locate faults precisely with traveling-wave fault-locating technology.
- Visualize system disturbances with wide-area situational awareness software.
Distribution System Solutions
- Detect and de-energize broken conductors before they hit the ground with a solution that monitors synchrophasor data in real time.
- Clear faults faster with high-density coordination and wireless protection systems.
- Improve detection of high-impedance faults with Arc Sense™ technology.
- Visualize system disturbances with wide-area situational awareness software.
- Isolate faults, reroute power, and restore service faster with modern FLISR software.
