Integrated substation monitoring: pipe dream or practical need?

Article Abstract:

Electric utility Pacific Gas & Electric Co. has started the development of its prototype automated substation. The utility is placing functions in the prototype substation to answer to the requirements of automated recording of operating conditions, real-time problem alarm, integration of data management and communications systems and a reduction of components as well as the increased reliability of the automated system. The utility has planned four prototypes, one an upgrade and the other a ground-up system.
