DISTRIBUTION AND AUTOMATION USING

SMART GRID TECHNOLOGY

PRESENTED BY : S.SIRISHA 1602-13-PSE-010

Abstract
Electric power distribution system is an important part of electrical power systems in delivery of electricity to consumers. Automation in the distribution field allows utilities to implement flexible control of distribution systems, which can be used to enhance efficiency, reliability, and quality of electric service.

The main function of DAS is the remote control of switches to locate, isolate the fault and restore the service, when a fault occurs in the power distribution line.
