Function of Optical Cables in Substations

What's the Role of Fiber Optics in the Substation? Substations contain critical assets for transforming, switching, and distributing power across the grid. These assets are monitored, controlled, and protected by a complex collection of devices to ensure safe and efficient. Optical fiber bandwidth and reliability are critical performance attributes for successful substation management. In their served areas will be power generating stations, alternative energy sources (solar, wind, geotherman, etc. During switching events, system. Utilities around the world face increasing pressure to deliver reliable, highly efficient electric power at affordable rates and with minimum environmental impact.
