Current situation analysis and development strategies for distribution automation of guangdong grid

The technology of distribution automation is vital for the future of smart distribution. As for the appropriate development and implementation of distribution automation, not only it should adapt to the distribution network characteristics, but also depends on the relative technologies of smart gird, such as smart terminal units, advanced communication and energy management. In this paper, based on the actual situation of distribution automation in Guangdong grid, an advanced strategy of distribution automation development is proposed targeting nowadays unbalanced regional development and different development levels. The strategy mainly divides the distribution automation into 4 parts including master station, automation terminal, feeder automation and communication network, and standardize for each part respectively. Through the permutation and combination, the appropriate development pattern for delaminating and districting operation could be retrieved, theoretically provides proofs for the reasonable development planning in the future distribution automation.
