Networking Solutions and the Cisco CGR 2010: Substation Automation Example
Substation automation promises to bring more automation and intelligence to the power grid network to address a myriad of utility challenges. Utilities are focused on how to improve grid reliability, enhance network security to meet regulatory requirements, and reduce operational expenses. The Cisco Connected Grid Router & Switch offer utilities a rugged networking solution to enable reliable and secure two-way communication for substation automation. Figure 1 shows a converged end-to-end IP network from the data center to the home. The CGR 2010 and the CGR 2520 are deployed in both transmission and distribution substations. Networking these points of presence provide network operators with greater visibility into grid assets and help identify, isolate and restore outages more efficiently.
