Features: With the smooth progress of urban and rural power grid construction and transformation, the call for improving the automation level of distribution networks has grown increasingly louder. In the past decade, driven by modern science and technology, the field of distribution automation has made remarkable advancements. To provide a systematic understanding of new technologies in distribution automation for a broad range of power industry professionals and management personnel, we have written this book. Building on a brief introduction to the basic concepts and development process of distribution automation, this book focuses on discussing the composition, working principles, functions, and key technical issues of distribution automation systems that utilize modern computer and communication technologies. The content covers feeder automation, distribution substation and switchgear automation, distribution transformer monitoring, remote meter reading technology, distribution geographic information systems, customer call service systems, and more. It specifically addresses the construction of master computer systems for distribution automation, the selection of platforms and databases, as well as key technical issues such as the choice of communication methods and the organization of communication systems. The application of artificial intelligence in distribution automation is also discussed in a dedicated section. Additionally, it introduces the latest achievements in the field of distribution automation, including the comprehensive automation of county-level power grids and simplified analysis of complex distribution networks. Finally, the book presents examples of typical domestic and international distribution automation systems. This book provides valuable reference material for guiding the construction and transformation of urban and rural power grids, particularly for the healthy development of distribution automation. It is suitable for technical personnel and management officials in departments engaged in urban and rural power grid planning, construction, transformation, as well as the research, development, manufacturing, and application of distribution automation systems. It can also serve as a reference for teachers, graduate students, and upper-level students in universities and colleges majoring in power system automation and power supply and distribution technology.
