The Smart Utility Meets The Smart tgid Grid The Smart Substation Bob Uluski Quanta Technology
Why is the Smart Substation Key power apparatus important? for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of the T&D system resides in the substations Effective monitoring and smart control capabilities in the substation can help achieve overall SG objectives
Why is the Smart Substation Substations contain manyofthe important? most intelligent devices used for monitoring, protecting and controlling the power apparatus the substation Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) Arguably, the substations include more intelligence ( smarts ) per square foot than any other field location Just like the AMI devices, IEDs provide a wealth of new information about the equipment status and performance that can assist in smart decision making
Why is the Smart Substation Can include PCs, important? dt data concentrators, t and other such facilities for preprocessing information before bf it is forwarded don to decision makers Effective mechanism for prioritizing and filtering the large volume of data from the SmartGrid and routing the info to the appropriate decision maker
Why is the Smart Substation Substations are becoming important? communication hubs (centers) of the T&D system Numerous technologies are available for bringing data in from nearby locations (line switches, capacitor banks, distributed sensors, etc) for preprocessing and forwarding Many utilities are implementing high bandwidth, high reliability, high security fiber optic communication facilities i that can move (route)large quantities ii of data to upstream locations

Real Time Equipment Rating Base equipment ratings on actual conditions rather than conservative assumptions Squeeze more capacity out of existing equipment Example: Transformer Hot Spot Monitoring Monitor the true winding hot spot temperature Derive loadability from the results
Predictive Maintenance Equipment Condition Monitoring Potential Role of Smart Substation Monitor specialized sensors and regular IEDs Perform expert system analysis Informengineers or dispatchers of possible problems ( incipient problems) Supply non operational data to maintenance management
Expert System Processing Rule based expert system Emulate reasoning of a human expert maintaining the circuit breakers. Compare the extracted signal features against the empirically obtained values. Each type of circuit breaker has set of rules used in the decision-making process (defrule R61 (declare (salience -1280)) (initial-fact) (closing) (not (R61_fired)) (or (R69_fired) (R72_fired) (R75_fired)) (R24_2_fired) => (assert (R61_fired)) (printout t crlf " R61: Stuck breaker while closing!" crlf) (printout outfile " R61: Stuck breaker while closing!" crlf) )
