Abstract :
Power engineering today is an amalgam of the latest techniques in signal processing, wide area networks, data communication, and advanced computer applications. The advances in instrumentation, intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), and Ethernet-based communication media, coupled with the availability of cheaper automation products and the standardization of communication protocols, have led to the widespread automation of power systems, especially in the transmis sion and distribution sector.
