    Virtual Protection Automation & Control System

    Substation transformation and modernization solution


    Virtual protection, automation, and control (vPAC) applications offer
    a compelling solution for management of increasingly complex
    power distribution substations. Advantech has partnered with ABB
    and VMWare to provide an exceptional, vertically-integrated
    virtualization solution. Each partner brings best-in-class products,
    services, and expertise to the solution, which will deliver
    transformative business value to substation operators.

    Centralized Substation Architecture


    Business Drivers
    • Increasing substation
    power flow complexity
    due to DERs, microgrids,
    renewable energy, and
    storage
    • Climate change
    driving rapid regulatory
    changes and techno-
    logical performance
    improvements
    • Increasing risk of system
    misconfiguration and
    cyberattacks against grid
    infrastructure

    vPAC Solution Benefits Vertically-integrated vPAC


    • Reduce CAPEX costs by centralizing control and minimizing solutions from industry leaders:
    control room space
    • Reduce maintenance costs through automation & remote ABB vPAC Applications
    updates - Comprehensive protection functions
    • Reduce outage time with rapid deployment - Smart Substation Control & Protection
    • Increase agility, performance, and flexibility with digitalization SSC600 software
    - Scalable, real-time performance
