Reliability Evaluation of Main Electrical Connection for the Smart Substation with DCB

As an important part of smart grid, smart substation is the acquisition source of operating data and command execution unit, and also acts as the important foundation and support of smart grid. With the continuous deepening of smart substation construction in State Grid Corporation, the overall integration design concept of the new generation smart substation based on research and development of new equipment has been put forward, realizing the main electrical connection optimization and improvement of reliability .Concerning the characteristic and application of DCB in smart substation, reliability of three kinds of typical main electrical connection schemes in existing substation and smart substation is calculated by the minimal cut-set method in this paper.
