Management unit for reliable power supply stations for use in telecommunication facilities

Following a general presentation of the system architectures for two types of reliable energy stations, GEODE and ALFATEL, used in telecommunication facilities, the authors describe the concept of a centralized management system covering several energy stations situated at different geographical locations. The role of communication with the power supply station monitoring units is then described. This makes it possible to define the functions carried out by the management unit, some of which may be operated through remote control by staff on standby duty. The functions of remote monitoring of processes, statistical studies, inventories, background records, man/machine relationships, and maintenance assistance are backed up by a PC-type machine.<>
