Pages: 18 - 19 Abstract: In a rapidly changing world marked by evolving energy demands, environmental concerns, and shifting demographics, the field of power system automation is poised for profound transformation. This special edition of this magazine aims to promote this interest and focuses on the activities that the International Electrotechnical Commission Technical Committee 57 Advisory Group 22 working group has undertaken to bring information exchange from this generation to the customer in the future, to evolve applications so that they provide the reliability, efficiency, and functionality sought to achieve the prerogatives of tomorrow. The electrical, telecommunications, and cybersecurity worlds are intimately involved in this shift. PubDate:

Pages: 20 - 28 Abstract: In Japan, the population has begun to decline, with an estimated population of 97 million predicted for 2050, namely 31 million lower than in 2010. This estimation suggests that the electric power industry will suffer a severe labor shortage. Conversely, the government of Japan has declared that Japan will achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. This will depend on the electric power industry building future power grids that accelerate the deployment of renewable energy power generation and further streamline how energy is used. These two major factors would compel the electric power industry to introduce advanced energy management and automation systems that will need to be able to cooperate seamlessly with each other, without exception.

Pages: 50 - 58 Abstract: The evolution of technology (augmented reality, virtual reality, extended reality, artificial intelligence [AI], Internet of Things [IoT], virtualization, wireless communication, bandwidth increases, etc.), along with the digital transformation of the electric grid, has seen the emergence of a multitude of new use cases these recent years. The impact on the communication infrastructure is so important that the network must reinvent itself and be more performant, more predictive, and secure by design. PubDate:

Pages: 59 - 66 Abstract: A distribution system operator (DSO) IS A utility company managing the electricity distribution network. It develops, operates, and modernizes the electric grid and guarantees a high-quality electrical supply for all its customers. It carries out customer connections, 24/7 troubleshooting, meter reading, and all technical interventions. One major challenge: make the electricity distribution network more resilient, efficient, and secure. PubDate:

Pages: 67 - 78 Abstract: Since substation automations systems were introduced in the 1990s to protect, control, and automate high-voltage and medium voltage substations, several new technologies have been applied to improve the functionality, performance, and efficiency of the design and architecture. Digital substations are beginning to replace substation automations systems, benefitting from new architectures that are based on digital interfaces provided by intelligent primary devices and related sensors. This transition was prompted by the intensive work in standardization of communication protocols and data models dedicated for power system automation, as defined in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61850 series of standards. The evolution of technologies and performances driven by microelectronics enabled the functional integration of previously separated devices onto common hardware over the last three decades. Still, the functional integration was limited by requirements concerning reliability, resilience, testability, and life-cycle perspectives. In a substation, any device, such as a protection relay, was allocated to a bay, a feeder, or a zone. Applying concepts of IEC 61850 concerning the separation of physical signals, their conversion into digital information, and allocation of application functions using this information from any physical device, makes it possible to think about the next generation of digital substations. Based on virtualization technologies developed in the world of information technology (IT) to dramatically improve the design, operation, and maintenance of IT systems, centralized protection and control systems (CPCs) would allow an even more flexible and economic way to protect, control, and automate substations.

Pages: 79 - 89 Abstract: An emerging generation of technology reaches beyond the familiar configurations of protective relays and substation intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). Contemporary topics in the technical literature may include Ethernet local and wide-area networking, functional elements, and nodes in the IEC 61850 communications and modeling standard; virtualized functions; digital twins; and generic computing platforms. Another emerging topic is holistic grid-wide observation or protection functions based on measurements with microsecond- or nanosecond-precision time synchronization. PubDate:

Pages: 90 - 103 Abstract: Small modular reactors (SMRs) are currently touted as the next evolution of nuclear energy. They are a type of nuclear reactor designed to be smaller in size than a traditional reactor. Nevertheless, they are based on the same fission technology that splits atoms to create heat, which can then be used to generate electricity. SMRs can offer clean, reliable power and heat at manageable costs for both on- and off-grid communities. Currently, there are more than 100 proposed SMR reactor designs worldwide participating in the race to commercialization. This article presents a comprehensive review of the different SMR technologies that are currently being developed. The technical characteristics of the SMRs have been evaluated to provide insights into their complementary role in a renewable energy system and highlight how they can accelerate the journey toward a deeply decarbonized world.

Pages: 104 - 109 Abstract: Popular history of electric power promotes an erroneous legend that a titanic 1890 “War of the Currents” immediately obliterated dc installations in favor of ac systems. Some authors may mention that dc has specialized railway and industrial applications. While there was a legal and public relations competition among proponents of each system, the actual competition was very different. There was no immediate change, as ac systems took time to perfect and dc retained its place, as it was superior for certain applications. Electric power at that time had three primary markets: local distribution of power to customers, electric railways, and long-distance transmission. Only in the latter did ac gain immediate acceptance, though not without competition from dc schemes. PubDate:
