Market Definition
Distribution automation is a key component of modern grid infrastructure as it enables the real-time monitoring and control of distribution assets to maximize grid efficiency and reliability. It uses digital sensors and switches with advanced control and communication technologies to automate feeder switching, voltage monitoring and control, outage management, reactive power management, preventative equipment maintenance for critical substation equipment, and grid integration of distributed energy resources. This helps utilities in collecting and analyzing data to improve the operational efficiency of power distribution systems.
