Digital Substations - Concepts, Designs and Benefits (Virtual Event)
Why Digital Substations? With the increasing need to process large amounts of data across the power grid to improve operation and maintenance, Digital Substations are becoming an integral solution. This webinar will dive into the concepts, designs, and benefits of a digital substation. The webinar will also explore standardization, centralization, and redundancy in the world of digital substations, including looking at the benefits such as:
- Opportunity for improved indices due to improved redundancy tactics
- Extends testing intervals (NERC PRC-005), provides greater protection system visibility
- Improves safety
- Can improve commissioning practices and reduce cost (OPEX)
- Can improve maintenance practices and reduce cost (OPEX)
- Eliminates wiring runs from the yard elements to the control house sited relay panels (CAPEX, signal integrity)
- Decrease in wire, terminations, trenching and conduit (CAPEX)
- Decrease in engineering and labor associated with above and relay panels (CAPEX)
- Large opportunity for standardization in design reducing engineering hours (CAPEX)
