KEY BENEFITS
Fault localisation without
equipment expertise
Integrated management of
complex multi-vendor
networks
End-to-end availability and
performance monitoring
Reduced down-time and
maintenance costs through
prompt problem
management
Rapid deployment
Monitoring of GOOSE
messages
Easy integration of new
devices and systems
Service-based management for substation
communication networks
MASTRERING THE COMPLEXITY
OF THE AUTOMATION NETWORK
Electrical power substation networks
are becoming ever more complex,
integrating a great variety of
interacting devices and covering many
generations of technology:
Voltage and current measurements
Circuit breaker control and
monitoring devices
Power transformer monitoring
devices
Protection relays
Energy metering and power quality
monitoring devices
SCADA remote terminal units
Phasor measurement units and
controllers
Phasor data concentrators
Bay and substation controllers
Operational management of such a
complex communication network
requires enhanced situational
awareness including:
Consolidation of network alarms
and events
Network supervision throughout
functional layers
Generic fault identification without
in-depth network expertise
Example of digital substation Ethernet networking topology
Substation level monitoring and control
Substation bus
Feeder level
protection and control
Process LANs
Measurement and
breaker IEDs

ASSURING OPTIMAL COMMUNICATION SERVICES FOR MULTIPLE SUBSTATION APPLICATIONS
In many modern substations, multiple
Local Area Networks are being gradually
deployed covering devices and
communications in separate domains :
I/V measurements and breaker
commands, condition monitoring data,
bay-level protection and control, SCADA
and substation-level control, engineering
station, and also video surveillance, voice
and access control.
Operation &
maintenance support
(voice, data & video)
Site surveillance &
Facility management
Assets & monitoring
e-terrasentinel allows the observation
of each domain as a separate network
plane, even if some common
network devices and connections are
used.
Substation Bus
Quality of service can be monitored in
separate domains and network planes
and forwarded to local and remote
platforms and workstations.

Operational staff will not be flooded
with unnecessary details on faulty
infrastructure, rather they receive
comprehensive information on the
consequences.
Service dashboards indicate an
overall performance for each
user domain.

MERGING NETWORK AND ASSET MANAGEMENT
An end-to-end, multi-layer, fault management platform for
telecom infrastructure and services in the power utility to:
Consolidate communication network alarms and events for
real-time visibility and control
Create customized views by functional layer, application,
geography or technology domain
Generate user service dashboards providing service metrics
and performance indicators (e.g. delay, packet loss, etc.)
Monitor the quality of service for communication
services
Enable a unified approach to operation and maintenance
tasks and service management for communication and
related assets in the operational environment
Initiate, track and close incident records associated to
faulty
assets and services and assign ownership to relevant actors
Allow possible integration into Alstom maintenance service
contracts
KEY FEATURES
e-terrasentinel Service Dashboard providing service interruption
and availibility data for particular group of network applications
Functional layer views for better visualisation
Merged approach to infrastructure and service
Functional overlay for root cause analysis
QoS dashboards for each class of service
Two examples of e-terrasentinel functional maps
showing physical switch and VLAN networks
