Selecting substation monitoring

Abstract

This paper presents a methodology that can be used to evaluate the parameters that are important to the individual user and even to the individual substation equipment. The method recognizes parameters that are important to the individual user and can be tailored to individual circuits. The method recognizes the principles of asset and risk management. Monitoring is implemented on the basis of optimizing circuit breaker failures, delivery point reliability, equipment life, and maintenance effort while maximizing human and environmental safety, and return on assets.
