Overview of Distribution Automation

Abstract:

A distribution system consists of all sorts of power distribution equipment, communication system and control equipment. It works according to certain rules to meet the demand of users by the high quality of electric energy . Distribution Automation (DA) can realize the automation of system operation and management to provide customers with stable, reliable electricity and obtain maximum benefits .This paper generally introduces the concept, function, developing future of Distribution Automation System. Distribution Automation includes feeder automation, automatic distribution management and user automation, and this paper introduces the basic situation and problems of them. Finally, it is concluded that Distribution Automation is the inevitable trend of Distribution System,and will be gradually developing in the direction of smart distribution grid.
