VEC’s intent for this project is to integrate SCADA functionality with existing advanced meter infrastructure (AMI), outage management system (OMS), geographic information system (GIS), and integrated voice response system (IVRS) technology to build an integration platform for implementation of smart grid initiatives.
The new SCADA system will be based on OSI’s multi-platform open network ARCHitecture automation platform, and is set to include the advanced functionality of OSI’s next-generation .NET based graphical user interface.
It will also include OSI’s real-time and historical trending; historical information system and data archiving; disturbance data collection and virtual remote telemetry unit software products, with MultiSpeak 3.0 interoperable monarch interfaces to VEC’s existing AMI, OMS, GIS and IVRS systems.
VEC SCADA-EMS manager Kris Smith said by integrating the OSI monarch system with its smart grid strategy, VEC can deliver greater value to its customers by leveraging existing technology, as well as, future innovations.
