Electric power distribution involves three different levels of operation: substations, feeder and customer meters. Many substations at Hydro-Quebec have reached a high degree of sophistication in automation these days and the next logical step for improving the distribution is to automate the feeder networks and, then, the household end. Most feeder interrupting devices are static and call for line crews to open and close switches manually in order to locate and isolate faults and restore power to customers. Traditional feeder maintenance service is no longer adequate because, as the distribution network becomes more and more complex due to expansion, customers have to face longer outages. This paper discusses a pilot project involving feeder automation at Hydro-Quebec which was installed in November 1984 and commissioned in February 1985. All the work from the design of the remote terminal unit, the operating software for the master station and the communication protocol to the production follow-up of 40 RTUs and field installation was completely performed by Hydro-Quebec and its research institute, IREQ, in Varennes.
