  • Abstract
    TransAlta Utilities, the largest investor owned electric utility in Canada, is implementing an advanced Energy Control System to be located in Calgary, Alberta. This Energy Control System (ECS) consists of four large-scale processors configured as a Main Applications Computer (MAC) and a Security Applications Computer (SAC) with the remaining two processors in a dual redundant mode with the MAC and SAC. The system includes MMI equipment and advanced SCADA interfacing hardware which supports the Sequence of Events (SOE) function.
