What is a "Smart Grid"? A smart grid is an energy generation, transmission, and distribution system equipped with a real-time two-way communications system that allows for greater visibility, control, and automation over the system for the utility operator. Smart Grid Key Features: • Measurement • Visualization • Automation


• When the term smart grid was first coined, most persons associated this with advanced metering, with an informed customer being the central objective.

• Some persons considered the two terms (AMI and Smart Grid) to be synonymous. • Clearly, the metering system is one of the major elements of the smart grid but not the only major

one. The smart grid concept penetrates throughout the entire organization: • Smart meters • Smart feeders • Smart substations • Smart transmission • Smart centralized generation • ……

Smart Grid – Not Just AMI

Smart Distribution


What is a “Distribution Network"? Electricity distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity to end users. A distribution system's network carries electricity from the transmission system and delivers it to consumers. Typically, the network would include medium-voltage (less than 50 kV) power lines, substations and pole-mounted transformers, low-voltage (less than 1 kV) distribution wiring and sometimes meters.


Distribution Automation Not a New Concept

Distribution Automation (DA) is a family of technologies including sensors, processors, communication networks, and switches that can perform a number of distribution system functions depending on how they are implemented. Over the last 20 years, utilities have been applying DA to improve reliability, service quality and operational efficiency. More recently, DA is being applied to perform automatic switching, reactive power compensation coordination, or other feeder operations/control.

Distribution Feeder Automation

Distribution Feeder Automation is the monitoring and control of devices located out on the feeders themselves in distribution networks. • Line reclosers • Load break switches • Sectionalizers • Capacitor banks • Line regulators


Some Key Definitions

• Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) - A computer and communication system that provides remote monitoring and remote control of field equipment - The basic building block for Distribution Automation • Distribution Management System (DMS) – A system with numerous software applications to assist control room dispatchers in managing the distribution network – DA is one of these applications, another DMS application is Switch Order Management


Communication is the Key of Distribution Automation System
