| Distribution automation systems provide utilities the ability to optimize the operations of their distribution systems and directly improve reliability. Adding targeted distribution automation capabilities can be especially economical when they are an extension of your existing investments in SCADA and in system operations. Distribution automation can optimize system conditions or solve a specific problem for a specific area or customer on your system.
The key for distribution automation success is to target the highest-value results and not choose the wrong technology. Interest is growing in distribution automation as utilities look to extend their automation beyond the substation and leverage the breadth of new communication technologies available.
