Digital technology creates a future-proof substation, thanks to efficient information management, diagnostics, and data configuration for optimized operation and maintenance.
Digital Substation
We are bridging the gap. Enabling the Hitachi ABB Power Grids digital substation.
Bridging the gap between analog and digital technologies brings unseen opportunities for modern utilities.
Hitachi ABB Power Grids is synchronizing technologies for reliable power. Built on the international standard IEC 61850, Hitachi ABB Power Grids' world-leading digital substations achieve new heights in reliability, interoperability, and real-time performance. The digital substation can save lives while bridging the gap between the equipment of the process bus level and the station level.
We protect investments while stepping up to meet the challenges of tomorrow
- Safety
- Fast maintenance
- Security of investment
- Built-in cybersecurity
- Increased availability
- Increased performance
Digitization of all data at the source reduces the risk of electrocution dramatically. The elimination of open current circuits minimizes exposure to high voltage electricity and reduces the risk of damaging equipment.
Replacing copper cables with digital communication capability shortens installation and retrofit times and enables complete system supervision, reducing maintenance requirements.
Enables user-friendly central management of security events and user accounts.
Complete supervision of all substation automation components facilitates faster fault detection and elimination, and further minimizes the need for periodic maintenance, lowering costs as well as reducing outage times.
Merging units with minimum delay times and IEDs with the highest GOOSE performance levels supports fast data transfer and protection functionality.
