With the advent of Smart Grid, the importance of operational technologies, such as SCADA and DMS, is growing further. Distribution systems are incorporating intelligent devices, distributed energy resources, and automation to improve operational efficiencies, supply reliability and customer satisfaction. Substation and distribution automation is going to play a key role in satisfying the self-healing characteristic of the power grid by receiving real-time information from SCADA and new intelligent devices.
