Power Substation Intelligent Operation Platform Construction For The Smart Power Grid

The age of Smart Grid is drawing close according to the universal planning by the State Grid Corporation. The author begins his research from the background of smart grid development, and continues to investigate the necessity and feasibility in building a Intelligent Substation Operating Platform (the Platform), as well as some sticking points in designing and implementing it. The article proposes an overall suggestion according to the construction and application of the Platform. It also illustrates some key technical areas during construction phase and the way in presenting subsystems, which contribute to the feasibility and effectiveness in building the Platform. To make it an ideal and comprehensive management system, the application of the Platform will improve the production efficiency and increase the economic returns, thus finally transforming into a new managerial mode of substation operation.The completion and application of this platform will have significant meanings in greatly promoting the development of power transformation, as well as in stabilizing the sound operation of the capital power grid.As designed with standardized interface protocols and codes, along with its extendable and sustainable capability of development, the platform will enable the connection and integration from multi systems. The four main functions of the platform are efficient management of work flow, malfunction handling, monitoring and control, and decision-making and evaluation. The application of the platform will diminish flaws existing in current management and improve the efficiency and accuracy in all business units. Hence it will optimize the work flows and increase the economic returns at the same time.
