Abstract


The substation is a core component of the energy conversion and operation control of a power grid. The construction of smart substations is one of the key links for implementing a strong smart grid strategy. To undertake informatization, automation, and interaction of the strong smart grid strategy, this paper identifies the problems and shortcomings currently occurring in the application of substation technologies by comprehensively considering the status of substation technologies and the development requirements of future power grids. The key technologies required for a smart substation i.e., state monitoring, data acquisition, protection control, the information network and the construction technology are discussed, and the design and
construction scheme of online monitoring, substation-area protection, integrated information network and modular construction technology are put forward. In addition, the results brought by the application of new technologies are analyzed based on actual engineering.

Keywords: substation design; environmentally friendly; state monitoring; substation-area protection; integrated information network
