IMPROVING OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY OF GRIDS BY INTEGRATING GEOGRAPHIC MAPS IN SCADA SYSTEM: DaNang STUDY CASE

Abstract

The continuous development of the present-day smartgrid technology is required to improve the operational efficiency of the power system. Energy management system (EMS) technology solutions, including Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Distribution Management System (DMS), must be constantly developed in terms of application range and efficiency to meet the mentioned requirements. The article proposes a technique to integrate Google Earth geographic map into the SCADA system. The efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated through PSS/ADEPT software. The results show that the proposed solution contributes to improving the reliability of the grid and improving the efficiency of customer care service as well as training of junior dispatchers.
