The Atlantic Electric System Control Center

The paper describes the features of the new con- trol center being implemented by the Atlantic City Electric Company (AE) to replace its existing control equipment. The Energy Management System (EMS) of the System Control Center (SCC) is intended for control and dispatching of AE's transmission and generation system. AE is a member of the PJM Interconnection and the system design requires that the SCC operate as a satellite control area of the PJM Pool. Described in the paper are details of the computer configuration, the data acquisition and communications interfaces, and the dispatch and control methodology. Also described are the advanced functions to monitor the security of the transmission and generation system.
