First an evaluation is made of the changes that are to be expected for distribution substations in the future. Distributed generation, electric vehicles and other active resources will change the behavior of the distribution network in a manner that will have a great deal of implications for distribution substations. The question is how the role of the distribution substations will change when the visions of smart grids become reality. The proposed solution consists of bay level protection and control IEDs forming the backbone of the secondar？, system. The functionality is complemented with a substation level Station Computer, providing value added and advanced functionality. In addition required communication and time synchronization methods are presented. A life cycle cost evaluation is also performed on the proposed solution, and it is compared with the current dominant concept based exclusively on bay level devices.展开更多

These problems are: (1) unreasonable structure (large amount of radical type 10 kV lines); (2) one 10 kV line for each customer (causing difficulties for line corridors); (3) circuit breaker are widely used for MV customers (result in complicated substation structure); (4) lots of overhead 10 kV lines in urban area. Ring circuit, insulated cables, load break switches, and fast acting fuses etc. advanced technologies are proposed for the retrofit of urban distribution network.展开更多
