7.2 Energy Management Products and Solutions

Data exchange occurs between a SCADA/EMS server of one control center and the server of another control center. The ICCP server is responsible for access control when a client requests data. One ICCP Server may interact with several clients. Access control of data elements between control centers is implemented through bilateral agreements. A bilateral agreement is a document negotiated by two control centers that includes the elements (that is, data and control elements) that each is willing to transmit to the other. The ICCP data link supports a redundant conguration utilizing dual communication servers in active and standby mode. A redundant conguration supports two physically separate paths between the Spectrum Power control systems and the remote system to provide backup in the event that the primary data path becomes unavailable. Historical Information System Storage of process data and processing of historical data is an important basis for various power control system functions (g. 7.2-9 and g. 7.2-10): Historical data allows trending and general data analysis Forecast applications (for example load forecast) need a consistent set of historical data as input Historical data allows post mortem analysis for example in case of disturbances Reports and audit trails are generated from historical data Historical data is used to restore past scenarios as input for studies (for example power ow studies) Historical data is also an important input to asset management (for example monitoring of equipment maintenance cycles). Analog values, accumulator values and calculated values (for example state estimator results) can be stored in the Historical Information System as well as status information and messages (for example alarms). The data to be archived is collected from SCADA and applications (for example state estimator). The data can be collected either spontaneously or at a congurable cycle. Based on the stored data, the Historical Information System provides aggregations (minimum, maximum, average, integral, sum) and calculations. Missing or incorrect data can be entered or updated manually. The online part of the Historical Information System provides the historical data for immediate access. The retention period for this online part is congurable (typically 1 to 3 years). Historical data that exceeds this retention period can be stored to and reloaded from the so called long term archive. Multi-site operation of control centers With the multi-site operation subsystem in Spectrum Power, the operator is provided with a powerful tool for optimizing operation management. It is possible to transfer network management partially or wholly from one control center to another. Emergency concepts can thus be designed and implemented effectively. Such a capability provides for greater reliability of the system (emergency strategies) and makes a considerable contribution to cost reduction. The multi-site control centers can be congured from two or more control centers and permit a very exible and dynamic system. In the event of failures, each system continues to work autonomously. After recovery of the communication link, the data is automatically updated.
