  1. Distribution Automation

  2. Distribution Automation The utilization of IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) and advanced communications to unlock the benefits of operational efficiency by having real time system configuration data, remote equipment diagnostics, instantaneous system performance data and automated system restoration.

  3. Routine Operational Efficiency • Instantaneous “self reporting” will improve maintenance results and reduce maintenance costs. • Optimize power quality management • Ability to readily identify system problems (imbalance, voltage variations and repetitive faults)

  4. Management of Peak Loads • The ability to shed load when in critical peak times. • Automated switching for system reconfiguration to prevent overloading/outages.

  5. Prediction of Equipment Failure • Advanced asset management systems • Ability to remotely assess remaining life of equipment and to predict failure or the need for early replacement. • Real time testing techniques on line to support asset management

  6. System Restoration • Advanced fault detection and location • Automated switching to restore service after an event • Indication and control on all electronic devices in the field and substations • OMS integration with automatic circuit reconfiguration systems

  7. DA Components • IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) • Station recloser controls • Downstream recloser controls • Regulator controls • Capacitor controls • Smart Meters • MDM (Meter Data Management) • Communication system (IP based) • Back Haul (From the Substation to the back office) • Last Mile (From the outlying areas to the Substation)
