Implementation of a new SCADA/EMS/DMS in a large utility, integrated with corporate information systems

This paper reports the control centres renewal project, that Iberdrola Distribution has undertaken with the company Siemens. Three out of six systems are already in operation and the rest are scheduled for 2005. Project highlights are: the concentration of systems carried out, the unified operator´s interface, the renewal of the communications in the field, the advance functionality introduced for the first time in Iberdrola such as electrical applications for medium voltage and the connection to the corporate systems, both for static data -network models, graphics- and for dynamic data such as electrical magnitudes and information related to quality of service.
