Decentralized data acquisition and processing system for power supply network planning and operation

The planning and operation of power supply networks require readings of electrical quantities. The number of these readings and their statistical evaluation necessitate a practical measuring, recording, processing and filing system. The new system described meets this requirement. It comprises standard units of equipment; exchangeable `memory-blocks´ are installed for storing the programs for processing the recorded values. The software merely requires a personal computer for the programming, analysis and filing of the recordings. The display program can be adapted to requirements. The first experiences gained with this system are conclusive; the potential of being able to process the values as soon as they are measured is appreciable
