Abstract

Many potential benefits related to the integrations of various corporate information systems in a utility have been recognized. In order to evaluate an integrated distribution system SCADA and AM/FM system, in this paper, a discrete time simulation method is used. Distributed architectures of SCADA and AM/FM systems and their integration are simulated by using an off the shelf simulation package. The changes in the response times of SCADA functions due to the integration are investigated. Test results have indicated that a simple SCADA-AM/FM integration using data file transfer scheme could enhance distribution system dispatchers´ performance in day-to-day work without giving up much in the response times of SCADA functions
