Grid Communication Technologies
Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each technology is critical for building and integrating grid operational processes and will be even more important as the grid evolves to
Recently, distributed generation has started to play a larger role in the distribution system supply. These are small-scale power generation technologies (typically in the range of 3–10,000 kW) used to provide an alternative to or an enhancement of the traditional electric power system.
An application for interconnection of distributed generation can be submitted via our online portal. Once you have submitted an application, you can view your application status online through a secure login ID and password. Would you like to generate your own electricity?
Distribution substations are connected to a sub-transmission system via at least one supply line, which is often called a primary feeder . However, it is typical for a distribution substation to be supplied by two or more supply lines to increase reliability of the power supply in case one supply line is disconnected.
Distribution substation design is a combination of reliability and quality of the power supply, safety, economics, maintainability, simplicity of operation, and functionality. Safety of life and preservation of property are the two most important factors in the design of the substation.
