Abstract

Substation monitoring delivers information necessary to optimize distribution efficiency, while simultaneously identifying equipment maintenance needs and fault detail information in real time. Browser access to substation information allows the utility enterprise to benefit from accurate "process information" from its "factory floor" while maintaining the conventional SCADA/EMS as a secure, limited access control system. This presentation discusses the functions and benefits of a Web based substation information system, which incorporates new communication tools, substation gateway and network technology, new equipment sensors, predictive algorithms, and intelligent monitoring and messaging. Among other benefits, the system facilitates equipment life extension due to real time comparison of equipment and system parameters to web configurable magnitude and time limits.
