Operations Management Functions
The complex tasks of network system operators require strong support from the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) functions of the network control system. Topology is a very important component for operational management functions. Topological analysis creates the basis for:
- Topological network colouring
- Topological interlock checks
- Fault analysis.
Operations management uses fault analysis to rapidly and safely resupply undamaged but de-energized network areas. The system determines the required network disconnections and automatically creates a switching sequence for resupplying the network.
In ground fault areas, the fault analysis automatically determines the optimum order of needed switching sequences to find and contain a ground fault. The necessary switching commands are then sent out automatically.
Further operations management functions such as:
- Switching application / order administration
- SCADA Programming Interface (SPI)
- Post mortem analysis
- VDN fault statistics.
These functions support management of day to day tasks and in unexpected critical situations. The use of PSIcontrol allows our customers highly efficient network management.
