The new single distribution network management system will replace five different existing dispatching systems, so that, if necessary, management of one region can be taken over by another.
Besides paving the way for the new smart grid projects, the new system will be capable of optimizing distribution network management, offering opportunities for inter-regional cooperation in case of outage or disaster.
Ness will provide the new distribution management system, migration and integration of data, creation of interfaces to other systems run by CEZ and the needed hardware and software infrastructure. The company will also deliver a full-system simulator for dispatchers.
The project will be followed by a service support agreement and, once the distribution management system is implemented in approximately three years, additional projects which extend the scope of the current contract are expected to be started, including a system optimization and user-friendly maximization project.
