Abstract :
The new Energy Management System (EMS) to monitor and control the Gulf States Util ities Power System is proceeding under an innovative implementation approach. The hierarchical system will have redundant computers at six locations with 216 Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) interfaced to the power grid in power plants and substations. This paper deals with the implementation philosophy and methods that offer promising improvements in problem areas common to EMS installations.
