In today's interconnected world, maintaining a seamless and uninterrupted electricity supply is crucial, especially with the increasing complexity of the grid. As more consumers adopt solar energy, decentralized electricity generation becomes common, necessitating precise control at the grid's edge. While some secondary substations are linked to control centers, relying solely on primary substations for communication poses risks to service quality. Managing countless secondary substations, often with reactive maintenance practices, further compounds the challenge of ensuring energy supply reliability.
