Introduction
•Electric power distribution system is an important part of
electrical power systems in delivery of electricity to consumers.
•Electric power utilities worldwide are increasingly adopting the
computer aided monitoring and control.
• Therefore, research and development activities worldwide are
being carried out to automate the electric power distribution
system utilizing recent advancement in the area of Information
Technology (IT) and data communication system.
•Power system automation focuses use of transformers, circuit
breakers, relays, generators, capacitors, regulators, monitoring,
and control equipment in a efficient manner.
TECHNIQUES USED
Data Acquisition System :
Data acquisition refers to collection of data in the form of
analog
measured voltage and current.
Power system supervision
Computer processes ,personnel supervises and monitor
The status and condition of power system using the acquired data.
Power system control
Control refers to sending messages to a device to operate I&C
and power system devices.
Instrument Transformer
These are extensively used for
Sensing and measuring current and
voltage in power system
Remote Terminal Unit :-
RTU is an IED which is installed at the
remote location and acts as a termination
point of network. Dedicated pair of copper
conductor is used to sense every contacts
and transducer value.
Metering
It is an IED which is used for
measurement of accurate values of
voltage, current , power and power factor
and stores the historical data.
AUTOMATED METER READING (AMR)
Power utilities have realized the need for full scale distribution
automation to achieve on-line system information and remote
control system. The main motivation for accepting the distribution
automation in developing countries such as India is to improve
operating efficiency of distribution system.
