Abstract |
: |
Inter-utility real-time data exchange has become critical in the operation of interconnected systems in most parts of the world. For example, the development of electricity markets has seen the management of electricity networks by a functional hierarchy that is split across boundaries of commercial entities. At the top level, there is typically a system operator with coordination responsibilities for dispatch and overall system security. Below this are regional transmission companies that tie together distribution companies and generating companies. Historically there has been reliance on custom or proprietary links and protocols to exchange real-time data between systems. The Inter-Control Center Communications Protocol (ICCP) has brought tremendous efficiency and cost benefits to utility companies by enabling them to control electricity resources remotely. The nonexistence data link between electrical power control centers may charge the power utilities high expenses i.e. there are necessary hourly readings for the ampere, voltages, power and reactive power need to be exchanged between energy management systems continuously. That causes waste of time and difficulty to reach the required information in the proper time. Furthermore, the costs of demand communication that must be available to ensure data exchanging in high quality such as Telephone, Fax, and Exchange etc. The Inter-Control Center Communications Protocol (ICCP) is the primary protocol used to communicate information between energy control centers that operate Supervising Controlling and Data Acquisition (SCADA)/Energy Management (EMS)/ Distribution Control (DCS) systems, and between control centers and power generators. The data exchanged typically consist of real-time power system monitoring and control data, including measured values, scheduling data, energy accounting data, and operator messages. In this study, we implemented ICCP Protocol between two energy control centers over fiber optical links. We managed and configured the hardware required for this implementation. We also identified data elements and objects that can be accessed via the link. After implementation of the ICCP protocol, we tested some scenarios to verify the performance of the ICCP functionality for our system.
As the size of the implemented project was huge, a particular strategy has been followed by distributing the missions and roles over many working groups. Coordination is being carried out among the working groups to ensure the rapid completion of the project with high performance. Regarding of my contribution in this project, it has focused on the configuration of ICCP servers on both sides and applying the necessary adjustments on the Energy Management Systems in addition to building the database that contains all data exchanged between Energy Management Systems. |
