and for protection settings ( i.e. fault current data for
example )
2. The amount of data available for monitoring and control
including the power quality related data is at least about 10
times more in substations designed with SAS as compared
with conventional substations.

devices (FRTU) that allow remotely
monitoring and controlling the distribution
network including feeders and distribution
stations.
 selected portions (RMU/Feeders) are
automated, mainly those providing for greater
benefits to NDPL.
