Abstract

This paper introduces an approach to railway substation automation and protection. It shows, after a briefly description of the typical railway substation structures, the concept of the railway substations equipped with an innovative telecontrol and automation system. In this paper the traditional protective and operative functions, which can be automated, will be pointed out and a possible automation system will be discussed in detail. Then some considerations will be made about the potential benefits and costs associated with those automated functions. 1. In
