Achieving intelligent automation for electrical transmission and distribution

August 2001 SCADA/HMI

Electricity despatch centres everywhere are installing much-needed expanded despatching capability. The aim is to meet high-demand growth in developing regions, provide for flexible wheeling of power through interconnected networks, and manage delivery systems to defer generation investment.

To accomplish this, Foxboro Intelligent Automation intelligent devices can help integrate control networks into sophisticated new systems, and cost-effective strategies, both within the substation and across the power network providing scada solutions.

The Foxboro solution starts with field interfaces and substation automation controls, and continues up to high-level power applications for EMS and DMS systems running on 'open' scada networks, spanning multiple centres.

Available from Protea Automation Solutions, Foxboro (I/A) can provide solutions for automatic generation control, power despatching and interchange scheduling, unit scheduling with network and security analysis, distribution network management, integration of GIS and TCM systems, substation automation, communications network integration, turnkey despatch system responsibility, and software system integration - in fact, everything from power generation through to billing. The picture illustrates a typical transmission and distribution layout for which I/A provides comprehensive EMS, DMS and scada solutions.
