The automatic sectionalising, restoration and reconfiguration of circuits. These applications accomplish distribution automation operations by coordinating operation of field devices, software, and dedicated communications networks to automatically determine the location of a fault, and rapidly reconfigure the flow of Electricity so that some or all Customers can avoid experiencing outages. FLISR may also be known as Fault Detection, Isolation and Restoration (FDIR).

Given the fast-evolving nature of power system transformation, the Future Grid Accelerator (FGA) has the status of a perpetual BETA version. Your suggestions for how each concept and definition may be enhanced are very welcome.
