Drivers and Benefits in Adopting Digital Substations
With the acceleration of capital projects (new substations and upgrading existing substations), it is increasingly important to look at how to deploy digital substations. Digital substations provide improvements in protection, control, design, compliance, and testing cycles. However, there are many actions that a utility must do to pave the path to digitization that will make the journey successful and sustainable. The panelists will provide real-world experiences in how utilities approach this process. They will touch on the challenges, justification, standards, proof of concept and testing, commissioning, work force managment, training and more. The goal is to give utilities that are beginning the digitization of substations process, some valuable information to make the journey more effective and efficient.
