Automation of T&D Systems

This 100+ page handbook is filled with the very latest practical information on SCADA, substation automation, automated mapping/facilities management (AM/FM), and geographic information systems (GIS). This book is ideal for utility T&D automation specialists.

Automation of transmission and distribution systems has come a long way since the 1970s and 1980s when computer graphic systems began to be deployed in utility companies. Back then, the primary function of these early systems was to record the location of geographically dispersed assets or facilities. In the 1990s, this evolved into AM/FM/GIS systems.

Now in the 21st century, automation continues to evolve, and utilities are scrambling to find the best solutions to their transmission and distribution requirements. Do you have the knowledge of the dynamic market with the right tools to make the 'smart decisions' and make an effective difference in your electricity deliver system? Do you know about the latest technologies that you can implement today to make your utility as cost-effective and efficient as possible?

These questions can be answered by our new Automation of T&D Systems Handbook. This 100+ page book is filled with practical information on SCADA, substation automation, automated mapping/facilities management (AM/FM), and geographic information systems (GIS).
