Abstract

The implementation of full-color digital maps within a distribution SCADA system is described. The maps and all the symbology they contain originate from the client´s AM/FM system, where they can be updated. These maps contain special symbols that are dynamically updated with SCADA data to represent the current state of the distribution system continuously. The operator has the capability to pan to a desired point on the maps, zoom in or out on a point with maps automatically changing from one level of detail to another at predefined zoom scales (decluttering), bring up windows containing graphics or standard SCADA cathode-ray-tube displays that are familiar to the operator, and issue supervisory control commands
