Abstract :
Three applications of microprocessors in power substations are presented. The use of the processors for metering, high-speed data recording, and distribution feeder automation is described. Emphasis is placed on those functions which could not be performed if microprocessor-based design architectures were not utilized. Specific information is given concerning substation hardware. The advantages of microprocessor-based designs are discussed, and details are given of the performance of field installations
