Abstract
In the modern smart grid concept the role of the MV Circuit Breaker is progressively changing from “simple” protection device to active apparatus able to interact directly with the main installation-specific electrical quantities and coordinate the operations. Advancements in sensor technologies and growing in the usage of sensor systems have paved the road for making the power grid more reliable, robust, and intelligent. Low-cost sensor developments and innovative sensor solutions are expected to transform the traditional way of operating power systems to the extent that the potential impact is often compared to that of the Internet in the early ‘90’s.The paper introduces the new generation of MV apparatus and discuss example of applications where the integration of the new generation of IoT sensor and control electronics, allowed to exploit the extension in quality performance of the apparatus and of their operations in service, as well as opening the way for new business models.
