A distribution 
network automation system comprises a power distribution main 
station, power distribution substations and power distribution terminals. The power distribution main 
station is responsible for monitoring and managing 
global information and used for monitoring and acquiring data of a whole distribution network to complete 
fault handling within the whole network; the power distribution substations are used for managing distribution 
station terminal monitoring equipment such as 
switchgear cubicles for loop networks, switching stations for 
distribution networks and the like, acquiring, gathering and uploading signals of the power distribution terminals to the power distribution main station, and transmitting orders of the power distribution main station to the power distribution terminals; the power distribution terminals mainly used for acquiring data of primary equipment, controlling switchgears, detecting and recognizing faults and sending fault information to the power distribution substations and the power distribution main station. The distribution 
network automation system has the advantages that power supply reliability can be greatly improved, fault time can be greatly shortened, 
voltage quality can be greatly improved to provide optimal 
voltage for users, and labor intensity can be relieved for operators; 
management level of the whole power 
distribution system can be improved, working efficiency is improved, and user service level is improved.
