  • Publication number: 20190377308
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an electrical switching device within an electrical switchgear system, by way of which existing disadvantages can be eliminated, and a secure and protected operation of the electrical switching device outside a potential hazard field can be made possible. The electrical switching device is operated by an operator by means of a mobile electrical device, which communicates wirelessly with the electrical switching device. In a first step, the operator reads a first identification means with the use of the mobile electrical device in order to unequivocally identify the electrical switching device to be operated. In a second step, a second identification means is read with the use of the mobile electrical device in order to unequivocally identify a protected operator location.

  • Publication number: 20180239850
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a digital voltage replica for a substation. The method includes obtaining a substation topology (101) and generating a node model (102) from the substation topology. Wherein the generated model represents each switchgear by a pair of two connectivity nodes. The method further includes obtaining switchgear status data (103) and animating the node model (104). When the node model is animated, the method allows determining a reference node for a target connectivity node (105). In this manner, a digital voltage replica of a substation is obtained.
