| dc.description.abstract | Modern power substations continue to use hardware that is dated and resistant to modernization. This document discusses the basics of substations, identifies their weaknesses, and suggests a method of improvement. This suggestion implements a centralized protection and control system to make the overall system more robust and flexible to the ever changing power system landscape. | en |
| dc.description.abstractgeneral | The infrastructure that connects electrical power generators to consumers utilizes a wide range of equipment to safely and reliably prevent interruption to service. New distributed power technologies have been introduced to the power system, such as solar panels, wind farms, and home batteries, which have caused the way this system become more dynamic then it has in the past. Most of these changes have occurred on the generation and consumption sides of the system, but the equipment that connects those two sides have not evolved very much in the last 50 years. This document explores some of the problems that this can cause and discusses a method to improve called Centralized Protection and Control. | en |
