Abstract

For more efficient and economical management of substations under SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, the concept of a smart substation has been introduced using intelligent and ubiquitous IT (Information Technology) techniques. A multi-functional platform needs to perform more intelligent and ubiquitous functions of smart substation effectively. In this paper, we propose a multi-functional platform to implement smart substations effectively. A prototype hardware, functions and communication interfaces on an embedded platform are introduced. Also, we suggest operating system architecture for smart substations.
