Electrical substations are the building blocks of an energy grid, responsible for regulating and changing voltage levels as electric power flows from generating station to consumer. But many were built decades ago when switching, adjustment, and data collection were done manually.
Substation automation using intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) is the integration of automated technology within the substation. The goal of substation automation is to optimize the management of capital assets and enhance operation and maintenance efficiencies. In addition, by removing human interventions from the operation of substations, companies reap the benefits of long-term fiscal savings.
Substation Automation System (SAS) provides protection, control, automation, monitoring, and communication capabilities as a part of a comprehensive substation control and monitoring solution.
This Substation and Distribution Automation training course will highlight:
