Summary

The power grid is undergoing a transformation. Distributed Energy Resources are rapidly expanding, and load patterns are shifting, demanding a power delivery system that can adapt in real-time. The solution lies in building a flexible, scalable, and adaptable grid ready to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. 

In this webinar, we will explore how Digital Substations, powered by cutting-edge technology, are revolutionizing protection, control, and automation within the power grid. We'll compare this modern approach to traditional substation designs, highlighting the unprecedented flexibility, cost savings in engineering, installation, and wiring, and the dramatic improvements in operation and maintenance efficiency that digital transformation brings. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Understand the key drivers behind the evolution of the power grid. 
  • Discover how Digital Substations leverage advanced technology to enhance protection, control, and automation. 
  • Learn the principles of IEC 61850-based protection and control, including centralized protection and control. 
  • Gain insights from real-world experiences and early Digital Substation projects. 
  • See how end users and operators benefit from increased flexibility, reduced costs, and improved efficiency.
