Advanced Grid Modernization Technology

Combining High-Resolution Waveform Analytics, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence

You now have the ability to monitor, analyze and action grid data in an entirely new way. At the core of the wave iQ® platform is an Advanced Sensing and Prediction engine - Atlas AI™, applying machine learning algorithms to electrical waveform signals, providing new insight into pending problems with a systematic approach to pre-fault detection and avoidance

Improving both Reliability and Resiliency

Core Applications

Unmatched Visibility with SCADA+

With SCADA+, you leverage the computational power of "intelligence at the edge" bringing results of high-resolution waveform analysis to your SCADA dashboard to help predict and prevent failure.

Predicting Faults - with Atlas AI™

At the core of wave iQ® and the SMART Block® devices, Atlas AI™ is always running, analyzing, and learning from past and current events, helping to predict and prevent the next outage.

Cross-Triggering to Avoid Nuisance Trips

Set up a Cross-Trigger program so when one SMART Block® triggers, all SMART Blocks® trigger. Never before visualization of how events propagate from one bus to another to prevent Nuisance Trips.

Validating Relay Performance

Correct operation of protection relays is important to prevent nuisance tripping and also to help ensure the safety of the grid. Learn how SMART Block® edge devices are being used to validate the performance of protection relays.

Relay Validation

Mitigating the Effects of Unwanted Harmonics

Excessive Harmonic content is a sure sign of problems ahead, with over-heating and stress on equipment. Real-time monitoring of over 50 harmonics helps ensure you avoid harmonic related problems.

Staying Ahead of Your Sags & Swells

Continuous monitoring and tracking sags & swells, both in severity and in duration, is critical in any effective grid modernization program.

Tracking Your Breakers with SOE Analysis

An SoE capture is an indispensable tool in validating the performance of key equipment on the grid and in gauging readiness for the next event.

Using Digital I/O for status and triggering

Incorporating Digital I/O into your edge intelligence opens up a wealth of new insights, ranging from time synchronization, equipment status, and real-time alert notifications.

High Resolution Fault Capture in COMTRADE format

Each SMART Block® captures and analyzes over 30 Million waveform cycles, per day, and in real-time, making decisions that can only be made at the edge. Atlas AI™, learning at the edge, helping to predict and prevent the next outage, captures and sends waveforms to wave iQ® for comparative analysis against larger populations and addtional ML/AI application.

Using Sequence Components to calculate DTF

Using industry proven impedence-based algorithms, wave iQ™ Series pinpoints the location of faults so repairs can be undertaken quickly and safely.

Down Power Line Detection

Algorithms running within SMART Blocks® can provide key information as to the detection and location of down power lines so crews can respond faster to avoid prolonged and unsafe conditions.

Stay Informed with Alert Notifications

With wave iQ™ Daily Reports and Alert Notifications, you can rest assured knowing all is up and running smoothly on your network. Designate authorized users and notification schedules to ensure proper communication of key insights.

Our commitment:

Sustainability

Helping hydro power bring water to the southwest

When electrical circuits experience nuisance tripping, customers along the line feel it firsthand. And, if water pumps stop as a result, little time is available before serious conditions can arise.

Fischer Block, Inc. is proud to have been selected to provide an early warning system, using machine learning and predictive analtyical techniques, which is in use today, improving energy delivery reliability to this critical hyrdro industry.

Social Outreach

Tis the Season

It is now a tradition here at Fischer Block, Inc. - Each year, we rent a local kitchen and get busy making cinnamon snacks, loaded with wheat chex, pecans and maple syrup.

What started out as a thankful year-end gesture to our happy customer base, has now grown into a Christmas-time tradition of giving to needy families and our friends at the local Salvation Army.

Perhaps this year, we may need a bigger kitchen.

Empowering Women to New Heights

The field tech team at Fischer Block, Inc. was recently happy to have their VP/Director of Strategic Accounts, Margaret Paietta, accompany them uptower, to get a few photos for her next article.

You can see some of these photos in an upcoming edition of North American Clean Energy. Sign up below to receive a notification when the article is published.
