Abstract :
The development of client/server personal computer networks allow electric utilities with such networks to make near real-time operating data available to any employee with network access. Sophisticated graphical displays and trending capability provides operations, planning and management personnel a high performance window into operations that could only be dreamed of a few years ago. This paper describes the benefits that two California utilities have achieved from establishment of LAN/WAN based operational data display systems
