Smart distribution is a fully controllable and flexible distribution system with embedded intelligence from substation to meter. It enables the distribution system to be a self-healing and optimized grid. To reach smart distribution, a utility must remotely monitor, manage and control the distribution circuits in real time from the substation to the end of line. In addition, smart distribution requires intelligence throughout the distribution system. Smart sensors and monitors are key and must be deployed throughout each feeder line and work in conjunction with reclosers, automated switches, capacitor banks and voltage regulators.
