“…The control of distributed networks is attained in three control phases: primary, secondary, and tertiary control, as depicted in Figure 6. Each control level works at different grid levels and time responses, but communication with high priority is connected between secondary and tertiary controllers [111]. Primary Control: This control employs measured values from devices and executes decisions autonomously in seconds.…”

“…Secondary control: This is where the monitoring and control of substations happens with the assistance of a substation automation unit (SAU), which keeps network data and then computes state estimations and voltage control algorithms to decide on optimal network state. This information is then sent to controllers responsible for the distribution network [111,112].…”

Power systems have been going through a barrage of transformations due to the recent developments in the field, such as deregulation and restructuring of the electric power supply chain, the proliferation of distributed generation (DG), and advancements in information and communications technologies. These have significantly impacted the approach to the planning, design, and operation of active distribution networks or systems. Due to this constant change, the system has become more complex to plan, maintain, and control. In this paper, the benefits and challenges of active distribution systems relative to traditional passive and active distribution systems are evaluated and investigated while the management and operational characteristics of demand-side resources in active distribution systems (ADS) are studied. In a typical ADS, there exist several vulnerabilities and threats that eventually pose a challenge in the control and automation of substations. These vulnerabilities and threats are reviewed, and potential mitigation measures are suggested. Also in this paper, the communication technologies and their implementation in terms of control and automation capabilities in active distribution networks are also studied. From this work, it is concluded that communication technologies play an integral role in the realization of more active distribution networks and that the Internet of Energy (IoE) is a major player in ADS in the reduction of faults due to human error, fast responses, and improving the stability of power supply. Cyber threats are also and will still be a continuous challenge in smart metering technologies and in substation automation systems (SAS), which will require frequent evaluation and mitigation measures so as not to prevent the power supply system from collapsing.

“…Different concepts have been proposed in the literature to cope with these challenges. A concept for voltage maintenance and congestion prevention based on substation automation units (SAUs) [21] has been applied to MV and LV networks [22]. The top layer of hierarchy is the control centre [23].…”
