Distributed Generation
The SEL-3061 provides the connectivity to remotely
monitor and control relays, devices, and equipment at
distributed generation (DG) sites. In most applications,
an automation controller interfaces with devices located
inside the DG facility. The SEL-3061 can be connected
to the controller to provide backhaul connectivity for
devices located at the DG sites. The SEL-3061 is suitable
for monitoring and non-protection speed control of the
DG site.
Voltage Regulators
Voltage regulators installed outside the substation use the
SEL-3061 to report their status and receive control com-
mands from either a controller or the SCADA system.
Connect the voltage regulator to the SEL-3061 by using
either the serial or Ethernet interface.
Capacitor Bank Controls
The SEL-3061 provides communication for remote mon-
itoring and automated or manual control of capacitor
banks.
Pump Automation Controls
Monitor and control critical infrastructure, such as water
and wastewater pumps, by using the SEL-3061 to pro-
vide remote access to SEL-2411P Pump Automation
Controllers. During both routine operations and natural
disasters, the cellular network provides a reliable path
from a control center to the field. Use an Ethernet switch
to connect more than one controller to a single
SEL-3061.
Network Backhaul
A radio or Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) net-
work usually has an access point that concentrates data
from remote endpoints. The access point is usually con-
nected to a WAN or another wireless network. The
SEL-3061 can be used as the link between the access
point and the WAN or the wireless network by providing
backhaul for these networks.
