Surveillance is very essential for the safety of power substation. The detection of whether wearing safety helmets or not for perambulatory workers is the key component of overall intelligent surveillance system in power substation. In this paper, a novel and practical safety helmet detection framework based on computer vision, machine learning and image processing is proposed. In order to asce...

Whenever a fault or disturbance in a power system occurs several IEDs are triggered and several data recordings are generated. Automated processing and analysis of substation disturbance data is an effective way to filter important information from the collected data and convert the extracted information into knowledge. Configuring automated analysis systems to allow for efficient data integrat...

Green and sustainable power is the need of the day. With widening supply and demand gap, power management has become one of the most critical areas of concern all over the world. India’s energy consumption is increasing at one of the fastest rates in the world. Hence, we require Substation Automation Systems in the present day substations to efficiently control and deliver power. The main objec...

The fast pace of global urbanization is drastically changing the population distributions over the world, which leads to significant changes in geographical population densities. Such changes in turn alter the underlying geographical power demand over time, and drive power substations to become over-supplied (demand capacity) or under-supplied (demand ≈ capacity). In this paper, we make the fir...

During the last years utilities have been facing a strong trend towards new technologies and standards. The most significant task is to fundamentally transform the capabilities and bring new solutions that support better power quality supply. Standardization solution IEC 61850 in terms of protection, monitoring and control functions is a promising solution that provides a great impact on substa...

in recent years, significant research efforts have been devoted to the optimal planning of power systems. substation expansion planning (sep) as a sub-system of power system planning consists of finding the most economical solution with the optimal location and size of future substations and/or feeders to meet the future demand. the large number of design variables, and combination of discrete ...

With the electric industry undergoing change, increased attention is being focused on power supply reliability and power quality. Power providers and users alike are concerned about reliable power, whether the focus is on interruptions and disturbances or extended outages. Monitoring can provide information about power flow and demand and help to identify the cause of power system disturbances....

The paper discusses substation IED data integration and its importance for implementation of automated analysis solutions. Recorded data collected from various substation IEDs is stored into a substation data mart that utilizes standardized file formats and a database interface. The data mart provides a foundation for multiple uses of substation data. Utilities are faced with a challenge of how...

After briefly analyzing the structure of a photovoltaic power substation monitoring system, a positioning system roadway based on blue tooth was put forward to connect with already existing communication and monitoring networks. A separate monitoring system for the environment is integrated with the former comprehensive automation system to create a unique system. It is a new step of substation...
