With the significance of building a smart distribution network rising to the national strategic height, the State Grid Corporation of China has already sounded the horn to fully enhance the construction of distribution automation, and automation companies will usher in an unprecedented period of high development.

Three major goals of intelligent power distribution systems: safety, reliability, quality, efficiency, and flexibility

In order to meet the requirements of users on power supply reliability, power quality and high-quality services, and to meet the undisturbed access of distributed power, centralized and distributed energy storage, the traditional power distribution system operation modes and management methods in the future power grids need to be improved; The distribution network is the cornerstone of a strong smart grid, strong in UHV, and smart in distribution networks.

Currently, the headquarters of the State Grid Corporation of China and local power companies are working hard to compile development plans for distribution automation at the company level. The distribution network and distribution automation that are at the weakest link in the power grid construction are about to enter a high-speed development channel.

It is expected that the formulation of a series of development plans and standards will be completed by the end of 2013 to the beginning of 2014, paving the way for distribution automation to enter the high-speed development period of comprehensive construction. The distribution automation investment will usher in explosive growth in 2014-2016, and the total investment scale will exceed 150 billion yuan in 2020. For the first time, we give the sub-industry of the distribution automation equipment industry an investment rating “stronger than the big city”.

Distribution Automation Technology Development

1) To achieve optimal operation of the distribution network and achieve economical efficiency.

2) Provide high-quality and reliable electric energy to ensure the development of modern society and economy.

3) Promote new energy revolution, promote environmental protection and sustainable development.

It concludes that smart distribution networks have a common role in the three aspects of environmental requirements, market, safety and power quality. Promoting distributed energy management in an all-round way, creating the world's highest efficiency in energy use, and building a smart grid with Chinese characteristics are the directions for future development of China's electric power.
