Substation Addition to Existing Switching Station
•
Lloydminster Switching station was originally a 230kV/138kV switching station with no distribution. This project would add a 138kV/25kV transformer, and distribution bays. The SCADA design at Lloydminster is a one-of as a result of being the prototype deployment of the…

Root Cause Fix for Beckwith AVR Failures Caused by GPR
•
Approximately once a year, four regulators north of Meadow Lake experienced failures in the Beckwith automatic voltage regulator (AVR). Due to the extremely sandy soil, O&M staff suspected that these failures were caused by Ground Potential Rise (GPR) affecting the…

Delta Star Mobile Transformer SCADA
•
SaskPower purchased a mobile 138kV substation, which included a D20MX RTU communicating with the control center via serial data encapsulated in IP using a Cisco IR809 cell modem. This was the first deployment of this setup. I worked alongside specialists…

LEDR Microwave Radio Replacement for Customer Co-Gen
•
4RF Aprisa XE radios were purchased to replace two obsolete LEDR radio links used to protect Independent Power Producer (IPP) sites at Kerrobert and Loreburn. The protection scheme involved both direct tripping and comm-loss tripping functions.

Replacement of Obsolete M-series RTU and failed SER with Next Gen SCADA
•
The project scope included installing the entire fiber optic network, IRIG-B timing, and replacing the GE M-Series RTU, which had approximately 150 controls, indications, alarms, SERs, and 18 analog measurements. This was replaced with a GE D400 HMI equipped with…

Prototype Development of SaskPower Distribution SCADA
•
Traditionally SaskPower’s substations were not connected to a centralized grid control center, but that was rapidly changing with SmartGrid. The goal of the project was to develop a scalable configuration template for hundreds of substations.

First Deployment of SaskPower Next Gen SCADA
•
The GE D400 was replacing the obsolete GE D20 remote terminal unit (RTU), which had served as the reliable SCADA head unit at SaskPower for decades. This pilot project aimed to test a prototype using a D20RIO (Remote I/O) that…

Golden Lake Substation – Phase 1 & 2
•
To meet an aggressive schedule, Phase 1 of the Golden Lake switching station involved building a greenfield substation with a single 230kV-25kV transformer and three secondary feeders. TeleControl was the only SaskPower group involved during the construction phase, our scope…

ABB 25kV Cap bank & Master Controller
•
As part of SaskPower’s ongoing effort to stabilize the Northern grid, which previously included the installation of three ABB Static Voltage Compensators (SVC), this project added a four-bay capacitor bank, a master controller, and expanded the control building to accommodate…
