T&D Automation and AMR/AMI Systems Handbook Vol. 2

T&D Automation and AMR/AMI Systems Handbook Vol. 2

Volume 2 of our T&D Automation and AMR/AMI handbook series provides detailed information on the automation of the transmission and distribution networks, coupled with the widespread use of new metering technologies. Distributed generation, the cost benefit of modern substation automation, advanced metering infrastructure, intelligent switchgear and wireless technologies are a sampling of the articles included in this more than 104 page handbook.

The T&D Automation and AMR/AMI Systems Handbook, Vol. 2 is a comprehensive resource that explores the latest advancements, methodologies, and best practices in T&D automation and metering systems. Designed for electrical engineers, system operators, and utility professionals, this handbook provides a deep dive into the integration, implementation, and management of automation systems and smart metering solutions within modern power grids.

In this volume, we examine the key components of T&D automation, including SCADA systems, distribution automation, fault detection, isolation and restoration (FDIR), and the role of sensors and actuators in enhancing system performance and reliability. We also explore the integration of advanced communication technologies that enable utilities to remotely monitor, control, and optimize their distribution networks.

Additionally, Volume 2 focuses on the importance and functionality of AMR/AMI systems, which enable utilities to collect and analyze detailed data on energy consumption. We cover the architecture, design, installation, and maintenance of AMR and AMI systems, with a focus on how these technologies improve operational efficiency, billing accuracy, and customer service.
