Conceptual design of a distribution automation system

摘要

The rapid development of computer and telecommunications technology has made many automation functions of distribution power systems technically possible and economically feasible. It is to be expected, however, that the largest changes in the practices and operation of distribution companies are still ahead. This paper presents a work that was carried out in order to select the most desirable and economically effective automation functions. Then, the evaluation of the functions' requirements and benefits led us to designing a general concept of a distribution automation system. Some hardware requirements of the developed system are also shown in the paper.
