Reliability and component importance analysis of substation automation systems
, Article International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems ; Volume 49 , July , 2013 , Pages 455–463 ; 01420615 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
This paper aims to present a comprehensive technique to quantitatively assess the reliability of substation automation systems. The technique is based on the tie-sets methodology. In order to demonstrate the application of the proposed technique, a variety of substation automation architectures is first introduced. The associated reliability block diagrams as well as the exact system reliability are then given. The impacts and the degree of importance of various components on the reliability of substation automation systems are presented. Two suitable measures of importance are selected. The first is the Birnbaum's measure used to determine the bottleneck of the system reliability. The...
Availability comparison of various power substation automation architectures
, Article IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery ; Volume 28, Issue 2 , 2013 , Pages 566-574 ; 08858977 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
This study aims at quantitatively assessing the availability indices of various substation automation systems. In order to illustrate the proposed technique, first, nine types of substation automation architectures are reviewed. The reliability block diagrams of various substation automation architectures are then developed. Subsequently, comparative studies are performed to demonstrate the most reliable architectures in comparison with the others. The results obtained by the proposed approach show the impact of repair on availability indices of the automation system. Finally, different sensitivity analyses are conducted for all architectures, where the impact of varying availability of all...
Modeling of HV Substation Automation Systems and Evaluating of Operation Failure
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Vakilian, Mehdi (Supervisor)
Abstract
In two past decades, a revolution has occurred by emerging of substation automation system in field of substation control and protection system. The traditional control system has changed to the modern automation systems which are based on computer networks. The development of this project become possible by having experience in and being familiar with automation systems, studying equipment specifications, tasks, and criteria and analyzing operation of various systems. The main target of this thesis is evaluating the automation system precisely and exhaustively and developing a model based on mathematical relations. This model is founded based on the application and analysis of the networks....
Online data loss in substation automation systems
, Article IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting, 26 July 2015 through 30 July 2015 ; Volume 2015-September , 2015 ; 19449925 (ISSN) ; 9781467380409 (ISBN) ; Vakilian, M ; Fu, Y ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
The study presented in this paper investigated online data loss in a substation automation system (SAS) under network faults or failures. Online data loss refers to the amount of data that become inaccessible when a failure occurs in the SAS. It is a mathematical index related to the network's topology and architecture, and the calculation of which requires knowledge of the physical characteristics of SAS elements. The elements that record data were identified, and then the online data lost due to failures in those elements were determined. Also, as a case study, a typical SAS was examined under various states of failure, and the online data loss occurring under each scenarios was calculated...
Quantitative modeling and analysis of substation automation systems
, Article Proceedings of the IEEE Power Engineering Society Transmission and Distribution Conference ; 2012 ; 21608555 (ISSN) ; 9781467319348 (ISBN) ; Darabi, Z ; Fu, Y ; Vakilian, M ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
The application of digital technologies in power systems has resulted in an evolutionary replacement of electromechanical devices with numerical ones featuring internal digital processors with communication capabilities. A substation automation system (SAS) deploys substation operation functions, including control, protection, monitoring, and measuring. Ethernet technology and local area networks (LANs) make it possible to design substation communication architectures with greater reliability, availability, speed, and cost savings than conventional hard-wired systems. This paper proposes a new method to describe topologies of the SAS as an interconnected network. The concept of data...
Latency considerations in IEC 61850-enabled substation automation systems
, Article IEEE Power and Energy Society General Meeting, 24 July 2011 through 28 July 2011, Detroit, MI ; 2011 ; 19449925 (ISSN) ; 9781457710018 (ISBN) ; Mousavi, M. J ; Vakilian, M ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Substation Automation Systems (SAS) offer powerful, fast, and viable ways to design, automate, and implement substation protection, control, and monitoring functions in modern transmission and distribution grids. Today's SAS -more than ever- rely on the adoption of IEC61850 as a worldwide standard for interoperability and dependable peer-to-peer and substation communications. Being based on the Ethernet computer networking technology, the reliability issues associated with latency in 61850-enabled SAS is of a design consideration. Unpredictability is the most important challenge for latency assessment. This paper discusses the background framework for latency evaluations in SAS by...
