The exible Siemens solutions are available for every kind of substation: For different voltage levels, from ring main unit to transmission substation For new substations or refurbishment For gas-insulated or air-insulated switchgear For indoor or outdoor design For manned or unmanned substations Communication is the backbone of every automation system. Therefore, Siemens solutions are designed to collect the data from the high-voltage equipment and present them to the different users: the right information for the right users at the right place and time with the required quality and security. Here are some default examples for typical congurations. They are like elements which can be combined according to the respective requirements. The products, which are the bricks of the congurations, are an integral part of the harmonized system behavior, and support according to the principle of

single-point data input. This means that multiple data input is avoided. Even if different engineering tools are necessary for certain congurations, these tools exchange their data for more efcient engineering. Example of a small medium-voltage substation: Typically it consists of 4 to 16 MV feeders and is unmanned. In most cases, combined bay control and protection devices are located directly in the low-voltage compartments of the switchgear panels. A station operation terminal is usually not required, because such substations are normally remote-controlled, and in case of local service / maintenance they are easy to control at the front side of the switchgear panels (g. 6.3-4). Example of a distribution substation in industry supply: In principle they are similar to the conguration above, but they are often connected to a control center via local area network (LAN). A distinctive feature is the interface to low-voltage distribution boards and sometimes even to the industrial auto-
