Distribution automation functions

 Electrical system automation: Energy management systems (EMS) and distribution


management systems (DMS).
 EMS functional scope: The EMS is based on two main subsystems, supervisory control
and data acquisition (SCADA) and network analysis (multiple remote terminal unit
(RTU) protocols in a non-proprietary environment, load shed, sequence switching
management, and disturbance storage and analysis).
 The network analysis applications offer the possibility of obtaining power flow, state
estimation, contingency analysis, short circuit, security enhancement, optimal power
flow, and Volt/VAR dispatch information.
 Functionality of DMS: The functionality of DMS can be divided into steady-state performance
improvement and dynamic performance improvement.
 Steady-state performance improvement
- Volt/VAR control
- Feeder reconfiguration
- Demand side management (DSM)
- Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)/automatic meter reading (AMR)
-
 Dynamic performance improvement
- Fault location, isolation, and service restoration (FLISR)
- Trouble call system: which requires a close relationship with the customer information
system (CIS).
- Alarm triggering: Alarms are triggered by the operation of the protection relays. They send
coded information to distribution control centers so that operators are aware of what is
happening on the network.
- Work orders

Geographic information system (GIS)

- Automated mapping/facility management (AM/FM)


- Database management

Communication options

DMS may employ a variety of communication mediums such as cooper wires, fiber optics, VHF and
UHF radio, satellites, microwaves, cellular communications, Wi-Fi, and WiMAX. Rapid advances in
wireless, cellular, and satellite systems will soon provide cost-effective solutions for enterprise
connectivity.

phasor measurement unit (PMU)

- Line parameter calculation


- State estimation
- Transmission line thermal monitoring
- Voltage instability
- Power transfer stability
- Power oscillations
- Mode control governor
- Distributed generation control
