Requirements engineering in control center procurement projects:practical experiences from the power industry

摘要

This paper deals with requirements engineering (RE) in controlcenter procurement projects in the power industry. Post-analysis of alarge number of such projects has been made. Based on these experiences,combined with general purpose RE concepts, a method for elicitation,expression, and test of system requirements on these kinds of systemshas been worked out. The method has been used in two full-scaleprocurements: a project in which the Swedish power grid company isprocuring a new national control center for the Swedish transmissionnetwork, and a project in which the Latvian state power board,Latvenergo, is procuring one national control center and two regionalcontrol centers for its power system. In this paper, an introduction tothe above mentioned RE method is given. Further on, the focus is on thepractical experiences from the two full-scale projects in which themethod has been used
