Application of FA in intelligent distribution network

Abstract As the nerve end of power system, distribution network is a user oriented window for power enterprises. Feeder automation (FA) is an important part of intelligent power distribution, which can monitor line operation, find line faults in time, diagnose fault areas quickly, isolate faults and restore power supply in non fault areas. This paper analyzes FA from the aspects of FA realization mode and start-up strategy, and takes FA usage in Shandong distribution network as an example to illustrate the role of FA in intelligent distribution network.
