Abstract
The Role of Advanced Distribution Automation in Smart Grid
Highlights
The Advanced Distribution Automation System is a vital part of the Smart Grid initiative, and a reliable communication network that constitutes the core of the Automation Systems [6]
The term Advanced Distribution Automation (ADA) can be put up as the automation of all the features related to the distribution system using the information that has been collected from various sub-stations, devices deployed on the grids and the smart meters at the end location
Various DA devices have been deployed in the distribution lines to track current and voltage state at various times, to exchange device information and to reconfigure the network to meet the regular changes in the environment
Summary
The most important application of the Advanced Distribution Automation is fault diagnosis by monitoring the faults in the grid, identifying the root cause of the occurred fault and restoring the system. Automated fault and root-cause identification can been investigated using the state of art of technologies such as cause-effect network, Artificial Intelligence or Bayesian inference. Sensors, distributed actuators, and the present day information and communication technologies would generate more accurate real-time data about the states, making automated fault diagnosis feasible and applicable in future intelligent smart grids. Distribution Automation can be grouped into 5 major subgroups: 1. SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) System. Distinguish between a fault and temporary high load demands
