Substation Automation
Whether conventional protection and control schemes or full digital substations, our Substation Automation Systems (SAS) feature leading IEDs, protection relays, metering, and monitoring solutions. Based on the latest IEC 61850 and cybersecurity standards, our solutions combine improved interoperability, connectivity and security, with an efficient and easy-to-use operator interface.
Modern substations need up-to-date connectivity to benefit from the huge potential of data. Our latest digital Substation Automation solutions combine interoperability, cybersecurity and connectivity and are based on IEC 61850 and leveraging IoT to make your life easier; collect real-time information from the field to connect to the enterprise level for enhanced asset management.
Our compact and modular bay controllers and remote terminal units provide essential support to a wide range of applications. As high performance, multi-function devices, they can act as data concentrators, convertors or controllers to provide access to all your substation data, including compliance to cybersecurity standards. A versatile platform for power automation and communication applications.
Inside a substation is a harsh environment; it is why you need industrialized devices to manage the communication between substations, systems, devices, protection relays and RTUs. Our communication devices are designed and tested for the substation operation environment to allow you to make a simple choice for reliable communication.
Substation automation schemes rely on real-time, mission-critical data. The user interface of EcoStruxure Substation Operation provides a graphical representation of the complete substation scheme, displaying the alarms, events and data you need to see. This provides maximum visibility in an efficient and intuitive way.
Using Operational Technology (OT), our solutions offer comprehensive and intuitive cybersecurity configuration and policy tools for any energy management application. Our expert tool is the first piece of a solution for the centralized management of cybersecurity in your electrical network. It offers intuitive solutions for multiple purposes, from the creation of policies and configuration of devices, to defining security logs and access permissions based on different job profiles (RBAC).
Modern substations require the use of many different platforms in order to deliver a substation engineering project. Our range of engineering tools help us to deliver IEC 61850 compliant systems in our unique and efficient way, even in multi-vendor environments.
In every substation automation scheme, there is a need to share data with external systems. Our Substation Operation gateway is the ideal solution to connect your connected protection and control devices or digital control systems to external systems like SCADA or EMS.
In addition to digital substation automation schemes (DCS), Schneider Electric also offers the complete study, manufacture, commissioning and expertise of conventional control systems (CCS), based on proven standard schemes, engineered to the exact project requirements.
