QEI Commissions a Remote Intelligent Gateway (RIG) Replacement Solution with AGC at Milford Power

Springfield, NJ, June 24th, 2009 -QEI Inc. is pleased to announce the commissioning of a Remote Intelligent Gateway (RIG) Replacement Solution at Milford Power in Milford, CT.  QEI worked closely with Milford Power and ISO New England to commission a custom tailored solution ensuring a smooth transition from Milford Power’s old RIG.  According to ISO New England, this was the first RIG replacement to be commissioned which included Automatic Generator Control (AGC).  

QEI’s solution was based on our field-proven ePAQ-9100 Multifunction Gateway, part of QEI’s Sentinel-21 Family of Substation and Feeder Automation Products.  For more information on the ePAQ-9100 Multifunction Gateway, visit www.qeiinc.com.  In addition to being fully compliant with the ISO New England Communication Front End (CFE) Interface Specification, this custom tailored solution also included a touch-screen HMI used to display the Market Data from ISO New England as well as provide a convenient manner in which to acknowledge Emergency Dispatch Signals.  Additionally, the ePAQ was also configured to front end an existing QEI RTU communicating to the Connecticut Valley Electric Exchange (CONVEX) via an existing communication channel.

QEI is currently working on other projects throughout New England and is looking forward to working with those clients and ISO New England in the commissioning of their custom tailored systems.  For more information about our products, visit http://www.qeiinc.com or contact sales.
