ASAT specializes in substation IED and data integration.

In an ideal Smart Grid, all substations are “smart” with data and information readily available for utility users. Most new Smart Substations built today are new infrastructure projects supplied by single turnkey suppliers. In reality, the largest challenge to utilities is managing legacy substations which form the majority of the existing power grid infrastructure.

Legacy substation equipment and electronic devices present many challenges to system operation and maintenance. In particular, valuable data in IEDs (intelligent electronic devices) are not accessible and usable. Therefore, IED integration and data unification are the fundamental steps in converting legacy substation to Smart Substation.

Challenges

Multiple generations of technology
Lack of interoperability among IEDs
