Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of technologies associated with smart grids, the automation and smart operation of Distribution Operation Centers. It describes the role and general structure of automation in important applications such as self-healing, demand response, and automatic reconfiguration of distribution networks. It also provides an overview of intelligent electronic devices and remotely controlled devices, communication protocols, supervisory systems, and information technology systems employed in distribution networks. The approach covers aspects of automation at the level of operation and planning, as well as at the substation, feeder and consumer level.
