SEL M i r r o r e d B i t s Communications
Mirrored Bits communications is an innovative, low-cost, relay-torelay communications technology that exchanges the status of eight internal logic points called Mirrored Bits, encoded in a digital message, between two devices. This patented technology opens the door to numerous integration applications that would otherwise require more expensive external communications equipment wired through contacts and control inputs. Integration applications for Mirrored Bits communications include line protection pilot schemes, remote device control and monitoring, relay cross-tripping, and more. Apply Mirrored Bits communications over radio channels for directional comparison protection schemes. This provides fast fault clearing and preserves transient and voltage stability at very low cost.

Event Monito r i n g , Co l l e c t i o n , a n d A n a l ys i s
In 1984, SEL invented the worlds first digital distance relay with a built-in fault locator, revolutionizing fault finding. Current SEL event reporting technology and software, such as the ACSELerAtor Analytic Assistant SEL-5601 Software, makes wide-area monitoring, collection, analysis, and control of power system data possible. Integrated systems with SEL synchrophasors take event analysis one step further by providing the ability to monitor power system disturbances in real time through angle 1750 measurements, modal analysis, and out-of-step detection. You can view time-synchronized events together using the SEL-5601 Software. SEL 1550 Line Trip uses the SEL-3378 Synchrophasor Vector Processor (SVP) to create real-time, wide-area monitoring, protection, automation, and control solutions. 1350

SEL remedial action schemes (RAS) protect against blackouts and system instability, increase corridor capacity limits, increase reliability, respond automatically to system contingencies, and bring your system operation closer to its stability limits. With remedial action schemes from SEL, you can detect and automatically respond to multiple, consecutive system contingencies. Control thousands of contingencies and loads with high-speed Mirrored Bits communications or IEC 61850 GOOSE messages. Preserve system stability using intelligent, contingency-based actions, such as exible load and generation shedding. All loads and generation can be prioritized and shed only when necessary to satisfy the contingency. Remedial action schemes detect unstable power conditions and automatically take corrective action, such as system islanding, to avoid blackouts. Let SEL Engineering Services design a remedial action scheme for your system.
