Substation automation is one of the key first steps to achieving a smarter grid. Substation automation has been underway in the utility industry for many years since the advent of the microprocessor relay. It helps utilities add sophisticated protection and control functions while also providing greater visibility on the performance and health of the grid infrastructure. Extending a secure, scalable communications infrastructure to substations enables important IT applications. These applications help utilities control and automate the grid. Condition-based and predictive maintenance programs benefit from improved observation of asset health and accumulated stress, enabling proactive maintenance that can avoid costly unplanned power cuts.
