Smart Distribution Systems
The second module focuses on distribution: visibility and data for a self-Healing grid and addresses the standards and communication protocols that support a strong grid in which intelligent electronic devices, or IEDs, are integrated with the ICT foundation for visibility into distribution system functions. This section delves into the principles and practices of cybersecurity, including customers' data privacy. Module 2 takes a deep dive into six holistic solutions for efficiency, reliability, and resiliency and the flexible data communication architecture that enables them to meet utility challenges.
What you will learn:
- Explain the key concepts of modern distribution systems
- Discuss fundamental solutions to address utility challenges
- Describe increasing operational and consumer demands on the distribution system
