Mvk. Rao et al., DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF A DISTRIBUTION AUTOMATION SYSTEM FOR ANINDIAN UTILITY, IEEE transactions on power delivery, 10(1), 1995, pp. 452-458
This paper describes a study conducted by the Andhra Pradesh State Ele
ctricity Board (APSEB), India, and ECC, Inc., USA for the design of a
distribution automation system (DAS). Distribution automation function
s applicable to an Indian utility mere identified. Communications tech
nologies that are capable of meeting DAS requirements were evaluated,
and a communications system suitable for India was defined. A benefit/
cost analysis was performed; first for a basic DAS and then for additi
onal distribution automation functions.
