No system is too complex to automate with

S&C’s IntelliTEAM II™ Automatic
Restoration System
Introduced in 1997, the IntelliTEAM® Automatic
Restoration System was the first product of its kind.
Using peer-to-peer communication with distributed
intelligence, IntelliTEAM tracks system conditions
and quickly initiates service restoration. IntelliTEAM
was way ahead of its time. Now, S&C has expanded
IntelliTEAM’s capabilities with IntelliTEAM II—an
order of magnitude more powerful than the original.
IntelliTEAM II works with S&C 5800 Series
Automatic Switch Controls, operating overhead and
underground distribution switches to improve service reliability for critical areas of your distribution
system. IntelliTEAM II can be expanded to serve
entire regions of your system. It requires no central
monitoring or SCADA control, though SCADA is fully
supported.

With IntelliTEAM II, restoration proceeds without the delays inherent in a dispatcher-operated or
centrally controlled system. IntelliTEAM II monitors
real-time current and voltage throughout the system
and uses this information to make smart switching
decisions. It acts locally before breakers or reclosers
lock out.
Unlike time-coordinated restoration systems
that must be carefully pre-programmed, IntelliTEAM II’s sophisticated operating logic can
automatically restore service under multiple
event contingencies. During storms or major
outages, it quickly returns service to as many
customers as possible, freeing utility personnel to
deal with system repairs. IntelliTEAM II minimizes
“Customer Minutes of Interruption,” improving your
reliability ratings.

Easily implemented
IntelliTEAM II provides out-of-the-box automatic
restoration functions. No custom programming or
special communication infrastructure is required.
IntelliTEAM II is the easiest, most cost-effective way
to improve service reliability. Existing IntelliTEAMequipped S&C Automation Products can be upgraded
to IntelliTEAM II with a simple software upgrade.

Fully scalable
The original IntelliTEAM was limited to a single team
of seven controls, with each control operating one or
two switches. The switches needed to be arranged
in a loop, with a source at either end and a normally
open point.
IntelliTEAM II, on the other hand, supports complex systems of virtually any size and accommodates
tie points from multiple sources. It can handle as
many teams of switches as line loading will allow.
S&C’s Power Systems Services can readily prepare a
load-flow analysis of your system to determine these
loading limits.
And with IntelliTEAM II, each team can have up to
eight controls. The switches can be arranged in radial
circuits, looped circuits, or a combination of both.
