The main objective Substation Data Concentrator Unit (DCU) is to acquire Feeder meter data and breaker status from all such entities within a substation, without any human intervention. The data thus
collected is transmitted out to a data centre located at Sub-Division
office using Communication Technologies like GSM/ GPRS/
EDGE.
At the Sub-Division office, the data collected from all the DCUs
(each DCU representing one substation) is colleted and organized as
per electrical hierarchical structure. The compiled data is used to
generate localized reports. Also, the data is further transmitted to a
DISCOM data centre, for use at a higher level of distribution system
management.
