Abstract :
Owing to competitive changes in the electric power industry, it is essential to protect the large financial and human resources investment a utility makes when acquiring a SCADA/EMS. Past experience has indicated that, with proper planning, an obsolete SCADA/EMS can be incrementally augmented. The migration approach provides immediate access to new technology while capital costs are spread over a number of years. To evaluate the different migration options of an area dispatch and control system, a discrete event simulation method is used to study the performance of different migration designs. A thorough analysis of a functionally distributed architecture under realistic conditions is conducted, and the results are reported
