Abstract :
Manitoba Hydro, a fully-integrated utility in the province of Manitoba, Canada has adopted a conservative but comprehensive approach to modernizing the distribution system. The development of a strategy for distribution, called the Distribution Roadmap has enabled Manitoba Hydro to concurrently engage in the development of the system on several fronts. This paper summarizes Manitoba Hydro´s efforts with regard to distribution automation, including substation and feeder automation, distributed resources, and electric vehicles.
