Applications

Windfarm Monitoring and Control
The Phaser^® is a valuable tool in independent energy applications such as wind energy power plants. The Phaser is at home at the core of the turbine controller. Read more about Windfarm Monitoring and Control (pdf) here.

Automatic Tap Changer Control of Paralleled Transformers
Phasers and the PhaserMaster at the substation can make transformer paralleling a reliably safe practice, even in variable bus configurations. There are a few simpler ways to get more useful capacity from transformers than to strategically parallel them. Read more about Automatic Tap Changer Control of Paralleled Transformers (pdf) here.

Phaser Measures Electrode Usage
The Phaser’s ability to make sense of highly distorted, unbalanced electrical loads earns it a special place in monitoring arc furnaces. Phaser-based arc monitoring maximizes the efficiency of the melt and the life of the very expensive carbon electrodes at the heart of the process.

Phaser Variant Acts as RTU, Translates Legacy Protocol
Second Wind can provide state-of-the-art distribution automation solutions that don’t require replacing existing equipment. We interface to legacy communication systems, adapt to utility-specific SCADA equipment and practices…In short, we adapt the solution to the customer and not the other way around.

Encoderless Tap Position Reporting
Phaser technology makes it possible to calculate tap position without using position encoders or any other interface to the Load Tap Changers (LTC). Regardless of type or manufacturer, and even if phase has independent LTCs, Phasers and the PhaserMaster can report precise tap positions for every feeder or transformer at any substation.
