Distribution automation uses digital sensors and switches with advanced control and communications technologies to automate feeder switching; voltage and equipment health monitoring; and outage, voltage, and reactive power management.
Distribution automation systems can use powerful and reliable SEL Real-Time Automation Controllers (RTACs) to coordinate wide-area distribution automation and optimization. SEL RTACs provide comprehensive programming, including real-time monitoring, graphical HMIs, and centralized event collection.
Scalable and modular distribution automation solutions help increase system operational efficiency and reduce operating costs.
