Power substations require many types of devices to construct a system that transmits and distributes power. A power substation handles many tasks simultaneously. Traditionally, engineers were employed to monitor the performance of the devices, but this solution is costly and unreliable due to the unpredictable failures that might arise from any part of the automation system. Effective substation automation uses synchronized management to integrate communications between a variety of devices. Under such conditions, power substations have migrated to unmanned, automated monitoring systems.
