sRDOs : Substation Remote Diagnostic And Operation Solution for Distribution System Management

Abstract

This work presents information regarding the extensive array of issues faced by both the consumers and the electric utilities in the distribution system in developing countries. Additionally, it protects the cost effectual solutions via remote monitoring, network operation, and diagnostic without compromising the reliability of the system. The utilizes transfers from the unintelligent network and manned networks to entirely unmanned smart grids, and switching activities at feeders and substations are controlled and managed remotely using the dedicated systems. The load in Load Voltage (LV) and Medium Voltage (MV) feeders is remotely monitored using the Substation Remote Diagnostic and Operation Solution (sRDOs) and distribution transformers as well as it permits the utility to disconnect non-paying consumers with completely no additional resource deployment and without suspended supply to paying consumers.
