 What
SAS  Introduc3on  
•  An efficient way of automating the
management and control of Sub-Station
Equipments
•  All activities and process are standardized
( protocols 61850, TCP/IP)
•  Control is on-site or remote
•  Sufficient data logs and history to forecast
faults

 What  is  SAS?  
•  Automation of Substation Equipments for Control and
Monitoring
•  Open platform products- No monopoly and dependency
on one company
•  SAS includes integration of various Intelligent Electronic
Devices (IED’s) like protective relays and multi-function
meters
•  With SAS , data management facilities like process
monitoring, supervisory control, alarming, reporting and
data archiving is achieved
•  Implemented on the latest IEC61850 protocol standards.

 SAS  Features  
•  Easiness of Operation
•  Integrated protection, control, monitoring and
automation system
•  Open and modular approach with scalable
architecture
•  Bay and station level communication based on
open/standard protocols
•  Redundancy architecture ensures 99.99%
uptime and availability
•  Fiber optic infrastructure for intra-communication
  Empowering  Lives   5  
 SAS  Features  
•  Powerful graphical user interface
•  Complete solution for new and existing
substations for utility and industrial customers
•  Energy accounting
•  Reduced downtime by utilizing maintenance
history for preventive maintenance
•  Implementation of IT, hence manpower is better
utilized
•  Report generation for management decisions
