Power system protection, automation and monitoring

电力工业正处于一个非常变化的时期。在新的商业和运营环境中，电力公司面临着更有效地运营的压力，在新的商业和运营环境中，不同的组织单独运营，以处理最初由一家公司处理的发电，输电和配电功能。与此同时，现代电力系统的运行更接近其稳定性和设计极限。此外，整合可再生能源和插电式电动汽车的愿望已经改变了输电和配电层面的电力系统结构。电力系统的结构和操作实践的这种变化使得迫切需要用于电力系统保护、自动化和监测的新的/改进的技术和工艺，使得电力系统的可靠性、安全性和效率可以被保持和增强。

Electric power industry is undergoing a period of extraordinary change. Electric power utilities are under pressure to operate more efficiently within a new business and operating environment where different organizations operate separately to handle generation, transmission, and distribution functions that were originally handled by one company. At the same time, modern power systems are being operated closer to their stability and design limits. Also, the desire to integrate renewable energy resources and plug-in electric vehicles has changed the structure of power systems at transmission and distribution levels. This change in power systems' structure and operating practices has necessitated an urgent need for new/improved techniques and technologies for power system protection, automation and monitoring so that reliability, safety and efficiency of the power systems can be maintained and enhanced.
