QPS01001DISTRIBUTED SERIES REACTANCE

Copyright 2012 Smart Wire Grid, Inc. All Rights Reserved DSR User Manual General Description: The DSR or “Distributed Series Reactance” is a critical part of the Smart Wire Grid system to assist utilities and other industrial customers with retrofitting existing power line infrastructure and allow power flow control for the grid. The DSR is the workhorse of the system which is mounted on the power line and controlled through the RF link to enable and disable the control system of the DSR and provide telemetry back to the base station. Installation: The DSR is typically installed on a high-tension power line by first shutting down the power line, attaching the DSR, and then returning power to the line. The DSR mounts to the power line by placing the bottom housing underneath the line then capturing the power line with the top housing, then bolting the two housings together to clamp onto the power line. Once bolted together, the DSR is ready for use. Operation: The DSR turns on automatically when the power line is powered on. Once powered on, the DSR communicates to a base station using the RF link. The RF link is then used to turn the control system of the DSR on and off to allow for smart power flow control for the grid. In addition to enabling and disabling the features of the DSR, the radio link communicates the current status of the DSR to the base station. Lifespan & Service: The DSR unit is designed to withstand a 20 year installation life. In the event of malfunction, the DSR may remain on the power line until the next service interval. DSR units may be serviced by removing them from the power line and replacing the unit.

(770) 475-8819 Test report no. 12-215A Page 4 of 40 Section 2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND TEST SUMMARY Product description: The product is an industrial device that is designed to be hanged on the high-voltage transmission lines. The device contains microcontroller and two identical 0.5W 915MHz ISM band transceiver. The unit starts RF transmission automatically when powered up and has no operator controls. Normally, the device is powered by the transmission line current – up to 1000A, but for testing purpose it will be equipped with a rechargeable battery placed inside the unit. The two low-gain, cavity-backed slot antennas are located at the ends of the device. Each antenna is connected to its own transceiver. As the transceivers and the antennas are equal and are not intended to be transmitting at the same time, testing just one channel should be sufficient. The integral antenna is a cavity-backed slot antenna. The test results apply only to the products identified on this test report. Test program: The product was tested in accordance with 15.249. This product is exempt from the 15.209 Radiated emissions tests in accordance with paragraph 15.103 b and c. Test configuration: The equipment under test (EUT) was set-up and configured as specified by the manufacturer as follows: 1- The product was connected to the following support peripherals: A. Laptop to program output frequency. 2- The product utilized the following cables and were connected as indicated below: A- None Modifications: The following modifications were required to comply with the radiated emission limits: 1- None EMC Tests, Inc.
