Dubai, UAE,Sep.18, 2024 – Today, Hitachi Energy achieved another milestone in extending its distribution automation offering with the launch of the Relion REF650 multi-application protection and control relay, specifically designed for medium-voltage power distribution grids. Enhancedflexibility, modularity, security, and a new, intuitive user interface make the REF650 uniquely suited forthe evolving power quality requirements acrossutilityand industrial operations.
With growing complexity and increased digitalization in the distribution grid, electricalsubstations must be managed with higher fidelity. System components like protection and control relays integrate critical data sources to operate distribution grids more autonomously and responsively.
“Increasingly,demands on the system are not only related to the delivery of energy butalso in the smart adoption ofnew standards and technologiesto make the system more resilient, interoperable, and efficient,” said Claus Vetter, Head of Automation and Communications Global Product Group (GPG) for Hitachi Energy. “Automation and intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) cannow work seamlessly to reduce disturbances, maintain high reliability, and lower opex.”
Distribution operators no longer want technologies and products that only doone thing. Instead, they want solutions that work together as a modular, scalable, and intelligent platform across the network. They also want compliance with the latest standards and full interoperability across diverse equipment and power sources.The REF650 marks further innovation in Hitachi Energy’s recordas a recognized leader in power automation and communication, delivering technologythat servesmore than 50 percent of global utilities.
REF650 offers significant new features and benefits for the protection and control of primary distribution systems in key areas:
Hitachi Energy’s Grid Automation portfolio enables customers to manage the evolving demands of utility grids by delivering better visibility and scalable communications solutions for increased performance, safety, and cost efficiency. The companyalso delivers advanced services and digital capabilities, including integration of IT/OT, data analytics, and digitalization toolsto make the entire grid system more sustainable, flexible, and secure.
