Abstract :
What is a smart industrial substation? Does it enhance plant safety? Does it improve process reliability? Does it increase profits? How do I design a smart industrial substation? Do I already have most of the devices and components for retro-fitting existing equipment? These and other questions are discussed in this article. Topics covered include: communication configurations, intelligent electronic devices, substation HMI, protocol converter, substation SCADA, distributed control system, and Ethernet hardware and software.
