This paper addresses the problems of low operation efficiency, high human resource consumption and insufficient safety guarantee of the traditional power supply system, and proposes a solution for the integration of AC and DC in intelligent substations, which realizes the integration, intelligence. Traditional substations are relics of the industrial age – sprawling footprints of copper wire, mechanical switches, and analog gauges requiring on-site teams for basic operations and maintenance. In contrast, intelligent substations' software-based protections eliminate banks of outdated relays. Substations interconnect different voltage levels and are the critical link between transmission, distribution and. John Stevenson, who's pretty much a go-to expert in energy infrastructure, has this to say: "The rise of Combined Substations marks a real turning point in how we handle energy distribution. Essentially, they help us build smarter grids that can handle whatever the future throws at us. Abstract: Substation automation represents a significant advancement in the management and operation of electrical substations, leveraging digital technology, intelligent systems, and communication networks to optimize the performance, reliability, and efficiency of power distribution networks.
