What is the automation of the energy system?

The energy system automation generally includes the use of intelligent electronic devices (IED) that collect electricity data and transmit information to distribution or power plants. Depending on the system configuration, warn the basic networks by staff when disturbing and allowing switching from one energy source to another. Some communities implement the automation and control of the IED energy system that include intelligent grids and intelligent meters. These units monitor the flow of electricity by the system and individual subscribers. The power system automation can also be used for solar or wind energy in addition to conventional electricity.

Pole mounted or underground IED devices, including fault detectors, load switches, reclosers and automated switching units, information transfer to power plants. Failure detectors can be placed above or underground and indicate when there is a failure in a particular segment. Switches toThe load not only insulates the area, but can also remotely redirect the flow of electricity if necessary. Recloser automatically turns off the segment when there is a problem. Electroly and substations sometimes have a power supply network that contains automatic switches that search for faults and redirect the flow of electricity as needed.

With increasing frequency, intelligent grid communities and intelligent meters into the power plant automation integrate. Intelligent grilles increase the overall performance of conventional networks and do not require human intervention if an extraordinary event occurs. The grid automatically redirects electricity to specific areas in the event of a failure and can turn off certain segments to prevent overload and overvoltage. By using two -way communication, intelligent grids can also complement conventional power sources with solar or wind energy, at a time of top demand, monitoredImage monitoring and calculating the period of increased requirements in advance.

There are many benefits to automate the energy system. Energy companies usually spend less money per hourly wages because workers can quickly detect and fix disorders. Customers experience fewer outages and outages that occur, usually take a shorter period.

Smart meters generally monitor and transmit daily data on the use of energy from individual houses to the power plant. The inhabitants also have access to information and the meters often transmit information about energy disorders to local stations. Some people use intelligent meters to monitor the stored solar or wind energy. Intelligent household appliances can reduce the individual energy costs by operating only during the peak demand hours.
