Challenge

• Customers in South Australia may experience a loss of power supply due to network outages – and remain without power until the faults are pinpointed and an alternative supply is provided. 

• This affects residential buildings as well as critical facilities and major customers, such as hospitals, universities, shopping centers, factories, airports, etc.

• Finding a fault can take much longer in rural areas due to lack of SCADA coverage and long distances over a huge network area.

• Faults on overhead power lines may even cause bushfires, so they must be localized, disconnected, and isolated as quickly as possible.

• Another challenge is public safety, as a large proportion of South Australia’s network uses overhead conductors.
