A fully integrated computer-based system for distribution control room operations

The system described will soon go into operational use as the primary means for control of Eastern Electricity's 132 kV, 33 kV and 11 kV distribution network. Control will normally be exercised from a single large control centre but can also be effected from a small emergency control centre. Sections 2 and 3 outline Eastern Electricity's distribution business and the preparations which were made for procurement of the new system. The system itself is described in Section 4. Section 5 discusses the initial level of system integration, and plans for further integration are outlined in Section 6. Present conclusions are noted in Section 7.<
