Transelectric's Transmission Control Center (CCT): Functionality and Development Strategy

摘要

The objective of this paper is to report on the background, the relevant characteristics and the strategy adopted by TRANSELECTRIC for the development of its Transmission Control Center (CCT), a fundamental element to put into practice the foreseeing operative philosophy and to efficiently comply with current regulations, since the Ecuadorian Electrical Sector was restructured to a deregulated and competitive market. The CCT project is part of the automation of the National Transmission System of TRANSELELCTRIC, which includes two additional and complementary projects, namely: the Modernization of Substations and the Strengthen of the Communication System with fiber optics. The aim is oriented to the improvement of the service quality, to reduce costs and to accomplish with all the requirements derived from the structure of the Electrical Sector. This paper refers to the CCT. Since the CENACE (National Energy Control Center Corporation) is actually in the process of updating its Energy Management System, a common strategy was established with them for the development of the CCT. The supply for the CCT includes the provision of hardware and software for the real time operation, for the preventive and corrective security analysis of the National Transmission System operation, for the maintenance and administrative work.
