Abstract

This study presents a remote battery backup for Distribution Management System substation. It elucidates the importance of the battery at the substation and the necessity of the automation at the substation. By achieving this we can remotely check the health of the battery from Back Control Center. It also enlightens the affects of the unavailability of power supply and how the charger gets activated and gives supply to the motors connected to the isolators and also acts as auxiliary supply to the Field Remote Terminal Unit until the station comes online.
