Recent Trends in Substation Automation and Enterprise Data Management

  • Online

The purpose of this tutorial is to familiarize participants with all  aspects of substation automation for both electric utility and  industrial applications. The term Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) is  defined. The different levels of substation integration and automation  are discussed. The reasons a utility or industrial facility would need  substation automation are presented. The components of the integration  and automation architecture are discussed with respect to their  technical issues. This discussion flushes out the sensitive,  controversial issues that need to be addressed by a utility or  industrial facility when implementing substation automation. The  characteristics and interface issues associated with Intelligent  Electronic Devices (IEDs) are addressed, since the integration  architecture is only as good as the integration capabilities of the IEDs  themselves. Communication protocol fundamentals and considerations are  discussed. Relevant industry standards and their impact on substation  automation are described. The characteristics of extracting the valuable  data from substation Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) and  effectively managing this data in the electric utility or industrial  facility enterprise is illustrated.

What you will learn:

  • Examine intelligent Electronic Device (IED)
  • Review different levels of substation integration and automation
  • Discuss reasons a utility or industrial facility would need substation automation
  • Consider components of the integration and automation architecture
  • Determine sensitive, controversial issues that need to be addressed by a utility or industrial facility when implementing substation automation
