This paper addresses the subject of reducing outage durations and autorestoration applications within the distribution substation. Employment of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) can aid in the reduction of the fault duration time, and also it enhances the protection, control, and monitoring at the distribution level. Further, communication among these IEDs can provide faster autorestoration, remote data analysis, event recording, etc. Many recent issues related to distribution substation protection are discussed and techniques to address these issues using current technologies are proposed.
