What does electric power automation do?

Power automation refers to the automation of secondary equipment in the power industry, which is mainly used to monitor and protect the normal operation of primary equipment, such as automatic control, protection and dispatching of power grids and substations.

Power automation can be divided into power grid automation, distribution automation and power plant automation. Power grid automation is mainly used for power transmission and transformation, distribution automation is mainly used for power distribution and consumption, and power plant automation is mainly used for power generation.

The major of electric power automation is to cultivate and master the basic knowledge and skills of the electrical part of the power system, and has advanced technical application-oriented professionals engaged in the electrical design, overhaul, installation, debugging, maintenance and management of the power system.

The power system can be divided into five links: power generation, transmission, transformation, distribution and power consumption. Electric power automation is an industry that uses modern computer technology, communication technology, information processing technology and automatic control technology to monitor, control, protect and operate these five links. It is an indispensable part of modern power industry and the "brain and nerve" of power system.
