An Integrated Network Information and Scada System for the Control of Public Distribution Networks

The integration of distribution network information and remote control systems is discussed. The combined system can incorporate many new applications for the supervision of distribution networks. For example, the management of the actual switching state of networks including real time load flow calculations and an automated fault diagnosis expert system can be implemented when combining data from the network information and SCADA systems. The paper gives a general description of the integrated system and the main features of new applications for network control.
