Automation Solution to Replace Conventional Voltage Regulator
Technology
Minneapolis, MN, June 22, 2006 —
Cannon Technologies, Inc. announces that Baltimore Gas &
Electric, a Constellation Energy Company, has chosen Cannon
Technologies' YukonŽ Centralized Capacitor Control software
and CBC7000 capacitor bank controller to regulate distribution
line voltages. The Cannon Technologies system employed at
Baltimore Gas & Electric offers an industry best in distribution
automation by using real time VAR control to eliminate the
need for costly voltage regulators or load tap changers.
Baltimore Gas & Electric's substation design
uses an advanced voltage control algorithm in Cannon Technologies'
YukonŽ software to determine where and when to apply capacitors
to maintain stable system voltages. The design includes
Cannon Technologies' communicating capacitor controllers
enhanced with failsafe features such as site voltage override
for voltage protection and backup modes in the event communications
become temporarily unavailable.
In addition to improved voltage regulation,
the automation of the substation and distribution capacitors
will also reduce system operation and maintenance costs
while offering contingency operation modes to improve system
reliability.
