HOW TO

CONNECTING TO THE MODEM WITH A SERIAL CONNECTION THROUGH THE USB PORT TO A PC COMPUTER. Connecting via the USB port will power the modem via the PC port and allow for programming of the modem without a current source or use of the recloser battery. To connect to the modem via USB port, unscrew the black USB port cap and connect a miniB to USB wire to the modem and a PC computer. (See, Figure below)

CONNECT TO A VERSA-TECH XC VIA SCADA

CONNECTING TO THE MODEM WIRELESSLY OVER THE CELLULAR NETWORK. The SCADA Cell Modem Settings Utility requires the user to enter the I.P. Address and User Port for modem. (See, Figure below). The default User Port is 20001. The static I.P. Address is assigned by the cellular carrier to which the SIM and modem are registered. Select ‘Connect’ after providing the cell modem information. When connected, ‘Status: Closed’ will change to ‘Status: Open’ Connecting over the cellular network requires the modem to be powered via battery, line load, or portable current source (e.g., Megger). If programming will take an extended amount of time, it is not recommended to wirelessly program the device through use of the recloser battery.

INTRODUCTION The Versa-Tech (VT) Single Phase Recloser senses line current and logs fault operations and manual operations. This data is usually available only for short range communication using a 900MHz or WiFi radio. The SCADA cellular modem (SCM) is a unique device that is designed for the Versa- Tech XC Recloser to support long range SCADA communication using the DNP3 protocol, thus introducing the capability to remotely monitor and control the Versa-Tech Recloser.

REQUIREMENTS 1. Versa-Tech XC 15 Pin serial port to operate. 2. Firmware version 1.08.8 or higher, bootloader 1.0 or higher, and hardware revision C. 3. When installed, the modem requires a minimum of 10A line current to be powered ON and transmit data to the SCADA system. 4. Ensure stable communication* with the Versa-Tech XC Recloser using the Versa-Tech XC Programmer prior to the installation of the SCADA Cellular Modem. 5. Ensure that the SCADA network (over LTE / I.P.) communication is active and reliable and that a cellular data plan has been established with a cellular carrier. *Refer to the Versa-Tech XC Instructions Manual TD_10_162/PSP862MAN001 for detailed installation procedure of the recloser.

HOW THE PARTNERSHIP OF HUBBELL AND ACLARA IS LEADING TO A SMARTER, BETTER GRID

On February 5, 2018, Hubbell acquired Aclara Technologies, LLC (Aclara). With its 1,700 employees around the world, Aclara partners with customers to provide robust and secure communications systems to expand situational awareness on distribution networks that extend beyond advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). They give customers actionable insight with real-time visibility of their distribution networks to optimize operations and engage with their consumers to promote energy efficiency and conservation.

“I’ve always been in this space because it’s really important in terms of how we use energy as well as water, because they are very important to human life itself. So it’s very near and dear to my heart. I have been in these verticals pretty much all of my career.” - Kumi Premathilake

are predicted to be non-traditional sources of energy. Over the last 100 years, we’ve taken electricity and the grid overall for granted. Today, that age is showing up in terms of more outages—caused by severe weather events but also because the grid was neither designed nor equipped for distributed energy. These outages are proportionately increasing the need for utilities’ desire to know what’s happening on their lines. They want the ability to react to grid conditions and reliably supply power to their customers at an efficient cost. Next, there are demand challenges. The supply side of the equation coupled with the advent and proliferation of distributed energy resources in the electrical segment is creating a major dynamic for utility grids. Appliances, lighting, HVAC systems – essentially everything that we touch day in and day out as consumers of energy - are becoming more and more efficient. This is creating stagnant to reduced demand for these resources. Utilities are faced with revenue streams getting smaller, which bear the question: how do you keep as many of the customers as you have today in the future? The answer is by being the most responsive, reliable supplier for your consumers. Although products have become more efficient, the world is also more dependent upon power. “I’m sitting here today, working from home, making a living on a laptop computer. If I lose power, that’s a major problem for me today. 15, 20 years ago, that was an inconvenience, but I could get through it. Today, without power, within six or eight hour battery life on my laptop, I’m out of work. I can’t work. So that’s a tremendously important thing. “ – Greg Bodenhamer, Sr. VP of Global Sales IS THIS RELATIVE TO JUST ELECTRIC UTILITY, OR IS WATER AND GAS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR CHALLENGES? Water utilities have similar issues to that of electrical – just pipes instead of wires. There’s also a lot of aging infrastructure, especially in the Northeast region of the U.S.

Recently, we sat down with Kumi to get her perspective on the current and future state of the industry and how her product lines support the transformation. WHAT DOES “GRID MODERNIZATION” MEAN TO YOU, AND HOW DO SMART GRID SOLUTIONS PLAY INTO THAT? For over 100 years, the traditional power grid has been based off of large, centralized power plants where a very- stable supply was reacting to changes in demand. But that grid is changing. As distributed generation and renewables come online, it creates a non-stable, fluctuating supply that can be influenced by situations, such as weather, with limited control for the utility operators. Grids were originally designed for electricity that would flow in one direction. All of these distributed energy resources, which can be non-linear in operation, create another set of concerns in terms of power quality and the impacts to the existing grid technologies. Therefore, utility operators need to understand what is happening on the grid. Utilizing and implementing smart infrastructure allows operators to know what’s happening on the grid and, more importantly, react to it. At Aclara, we provide solutions that actually help utilities modernize their distribution grids, and by joining Hubbell, we could expand these solutions into other markets, such as transmission. WHAT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES IS THE ELECTRIC INDUSTRY FACING? First, let’s look at supply challenges. The rate at which distributed energy is entering the grid is quickly increasing due to changing economics relating to renewables and battery storage. Over the last decade, costs for wind and solar have seen double digit reductions in cost. This economic driver is leading to distributed generation taking over traditional generation methods. In fact, in 2019, most of the resources coming online

A study on the economic loss of water utilities revealed a $4.9 billion loss annually—80% real loss and 20% apparent loss. Yet, sometimes we don’t necessarily pay the true cost of water. As a result, water utilities struggle to justify the economics behind AMI and other modernization. Aside from economic pressures, they’re also trying to save energy. Energy is required to pump water, treat water, and then return waste water. The process requires a lot of energy, so water utilities are also trying to use less energy in the production and distribution of water to their customers. Therefore, managing pressure on the distribution grid - are all very important to water utilities. Unlike electrical utilities, water utilities function similarly to government entities. These are municipalities that worry about the employment impacts. Instead of the decision on why not to use an AMI, the concern is eliminating jobs, such as meter readers, that have been employed for years. Aclara helps ease this transition with community outreach, by retraining these resources and skills, so that when they are replaced by “automation”, they have new skills that can be applied in different roles within the utilities. Like electrical and water, gas industries suffer the same problem of aging infrastructure. Compiling this problem is an increased production of natural gas, due to its low cost. The tapping of the reserves in the United States dropped the price of natural gas dramatically. All of a sudden, gas utilities are collecting less revenue, greatly impacting their ability to invest in technology and modernization. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES THAT ACLARA OFFERS? All of the aforementioned challenges make Aclara not just a solution for utilities but, along with Hubbell, a partner. Our combined solutions help utilities have the visibility into the grid and also optimize their operation so they can react to grid conditions in a timely manner.

Depending on electric, water or gas, there’s different types of AMI technologies. Power line carrier on the electric side are very well suited for lower density populated areas. Wherever that signal is transmitted through the distribution line, we can communicate. The RF technology is most suited for high density or highly populated areas, with different types of RF technology available. Aclara’s Point to Multi-Point technology employs a “home run” deployment technique. Basically, an edge device communicates directly to a data collector, and that then directly communicates back to the utility head- end software. It’s very low latency, which is really important to utilities who want to know what is happening on the grid at a high frequency. You need to know very quickly if there is an issue, and be able to react to it. For end-users, Aclara offers consumer engagement software that will do desegregation analytics, so you can tell if your air conditioner or your water heater is using more energy. We can also tell if you have what we call constant consumption. This is an appliance or resource in your home that has an issue and is constantly using energy. THE TECHNOLOGY OFFERED TODAY SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BY MANY. FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T, WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE THE REASONS PREVENTING THEM FROM DOING SO? Grid modernization efforts have already begun with most utilities, but the maturity of the solutions cover a wide range. Utilities have existing point solutions, and they have to integrate those solutions across to have a real end-to-end distribution automation effort within the utility. Popular in both water and gas is the prevalence of one-way communicating networks, (the drive-by solutions). In a drive-by solution, meter readers have to drive down the street to read the meters but not walk to each house and open the pit or look at the gas meter. Although the economics for customers to convert from a one-way communicating network to a two-way

Economics are changing for the utility because they’re helping the customer save energy. That means their revenues may not necessarily be going up. So they need to provide additional services to make up for that lost revenue. There are utilities who are running these service programs as pilots now. Aclara has some really neat technologies around desegregation of energy in the home. The other piece that’s coming online is the ability to connect all those devices and help you manage your energy within your home. Hubbell offers solutions for that through their iDevices product line. HUBBELL & ACLARA: UTILITY PARTNER OF THE FUTURE Putting our communications modules in Hubbell products is a great opportunity for Aclara and Hubbell to come together to provide advanced solutions to our customers. Both Aclara and Hubbell have a lot of solutions that help utilities move towards the future, and a key one is retrieving information back from smart devices and providing insights to the utility that help them manage the grid very effectively. Not just measuring effectivity, it’s also controlling the grid based on the information and the insights that utilities get back. A major impact to come from the joining of Aclara and Hubbell is not just being a B2B company with the expectation that we are going to supply the consumer, but taking the consumer experience itself in consideration of investment and capital design. Evaluating trends from an individual consumer perspective will help utilities stay relevant, and with that, Hubbell and Aclara can continue to stay relevant as well. To further leverage the strengths and capabilities of Aclara and HPS, Kumi Premathilake is now leading a combined team that focuses on AMI technology and utility automation devices.

communicating network are getting better every day, revenue-strapped utilities still struggle to invest the upfront Capital to reap benefits from an AMI system. WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE NEXT BIG WAVE? The next big wave is really the changing renewable mix. Utilities were already making plans to change their supply mix 5, 10 years ago. So that trend is not going to change, and as a result, they have to plan to introduce renewables into their grid. The other piece is end-to-end solutions. There are going to be a lot of players because not one solutions provider can provide everything to the utilities. So, partners such as ourselves have to be able to integrate with a lot of products and solutions within that ecosystem. Aclara, with Hubbell, can provide an interim solution in that ecosystem. Another industry wave will be utilities getting closer or better connected to their end customers. Energy consumers are much more active than they used to be. Previously, they’d get a power bill, know what their energy usage is, and that they’re paying for that energy usage. Now when they get a bill, they see how efficient they are compared to their neighbors. Even more than that, some consumers want to know where the supply is coming from because they’re concerned about the environment. Utilities have to figure out how to use the data (that comes from the automation they’ve installed) to better engage with their consumers, so that they don’t run the risk of losing them to distributed energy.

HELICAL PILE FOUNDATIONS COASTAL ENVIRONMENTS

The coastal lowlands of Georgia comprise a scenic area full of southern charm and natural beauty. Underneath the facade, however, is the ever present tidal fow into the marshes abutting the shoreline. With the ebb and fow of the salty ocean water comes the very real problem of corrosion. Such was the case when an inspection of a 230kV transmission line south of the city of Brunswick, GA uncovered a few of the original foundations were all but missing at the footings of the structures. Now that the problem was found, what would be an effective correction? The sensitive wetland location called for minimal matting, limiting vehicle size and weight. Existing guy wires to the structures constrained overhead work clearance. The importance of this particular line required the restoration to be done while the line remained energized. And on top of these factors, the new foundations need to withstand the very corrosive environment that resulted in the early demise of the original foundations.

Fig. 1 Time was running out on this 230kV transmission line’s foundations.

THE SOLUTION Hubbell helical foundations. When the Hubbell Power Systems, Inc. (HPS) design team back in Centralia, MO were provided with the information of this project, they went to work on designing a helical foundation system that, along with supporting the structures, would also address the challenges of installation and longevity. The structure information gave the team the necessary details to select the proper foundation size. Borings from

the site let them know the depth of the marsh and soil composition below to reach a suitable bearing surface for the new foundations. And to resist the corrosion of the briny tidal fow, the steel helical foundation sections were sized thicker and got treated with a special, heavy- duty galvanizing combined with an overcoat of tar epoxy (fgure 2). On the day of installation, a light-weight, low- profle drilling rig maneuvered into position and easily drove the foundation sections into the marsh. A CHANCE® wireless torque indicator monitored the progress of the helical pile lead and extensions (fgure 3). When the pre-determined torque value was achieved, the helical pile installation was complete. They were now ready to be trimmed and capped to grade level, allowing for fnal placement of the structures. HPS Helical Foundations overcame all of this project’s difficult constraints to provide these transmission structures with a sound foundation for decades to come.

Fig. 2 HPS helical pile extensions, and helical pile lead (far right). Components were custom manufactured in Centralia, MO and shipped to the site complete.
