The Role of Distribution Network Automation TTU
DTU, as an industrial-grade communication device, is primarily responsible for data collection, transmission, and remote monitoring. It can connect to various sensors, meters, and equipment, and accurately transmit the collected data to a data center or cloud platform via. Distribution networks provide last mile delivery of the power grid to users, and are critical to power supply services. Many facilities, such as electric vehicles, distributed energy, microgrids, and energy storage devices are connected to the grid through distribution networks. A new wave of innovation centers on Distribution automation terminal Intelligent diagnosis, which enables real‑time fault detection and predictive maintenance at the grid edge. This page is a practical guide for designing feeder automation terminals (FTU, DTU and TTU) with the right mix of sensing, communication, power, security and IC choices. This White Paper, "Smart Grid for Distribution Systems" addresses the benefits and challenges of implementing the many different Distribution Automation functions.
