The new system, which is based on windows server, includes: worldview, command sequencing, event data recording, IED wizard and control panel, SCADA add-in, remote alarm annunciation, power factor control, voltage reduction, multispeak interfaces, SCADA replicator, websurv, and dynamic voltage regulation (DVR).
Survalent Technology Eastern US sales vice president Steve Strauss said that the board will take advantage of the new SCADA features and ease of use to get more out of the system.
"As utilities invest in AMI, Survalent offers a DVR Application that through a MultiSpeak interface that allows a utility to look at end of line voltage as a component of their voltage control strategy for demand response," Strauss added.
"This provides a maximization of voltage/demand reduction (also including down line regulators) while keeping the worst case end of line voltage over 114VAC.
"Depending on peak demand cost, number of feeders and load composition this can pay for a new SCADA system in less than a year."
