Abstract

The authors propose a functionally distributed computer (FDS) system for an energy management system (EMS) and a large-scale supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. The FDS consists of small-scale functional units executing simple functions and is characterized by both parallel processing and independence of subsystems. These units are mostly composed of microcomputers. The feasibility of such a system was investigated and results are reported. Such a system would improve performance, increase the flexibility of expansion, improve reliability, and reduce costs
