Balancing Technology and System Reliability -Methodology for Deploying Advanced Technology

摘要

New system solutions need to be introduced and deployed carefully to ensure good value to the user, effective deployment of technology, and reduced risk of stranded assets. This paper presents a methodology consisting of three effective steps for successful deployment of production-grade systems designed to perform and support disaster recovery environment. The article focuses on the deployment of most advanced technologies associated with the synchrophasor solution in electric power utilities. The steps include establishing requirements and specifications, implementing a real-time proof-of-concept (POC) performance validation center, and full deployment including end-to-end testing. Establishing such a facility is essential for successful deployment of production-grade advanced technologies in the field and at the enterprise level, and is indispensable in paving the path for effective and accelerated rollout of business cases.
