SCADA EMS for Power System Dispatch Center

The Energy Management System, or EMS as we know it today, had its origin in the need for electric utility companies to operate their generators as economically as possible. That there was ample cost justification for this has been demonstrated many times. At this point, I shall refer to an electric power system as consisting of generators, a transmission system, and the distribution system to customer loads.
 

To operate the system as economically as possible, it required that the characteristics of all generating units be available in one location so that the most efficient units could be dispatched properly along with the less efficient. In addition, there was a requirement that the on/off scheduling of generating units be done in an efficient manner as well. Finally, the scheduling of generators with limited fuel or water supplies was incorporated into energy management systems.
 

This allows operators to further reduce the cost of operation by taking advantage of cheaper fuels or hydro power. When operating within a vertically integrated electric utility - i.e., one which owns and operates the generation, transmission, and distribution the economic dispatch and scheduling of generation is usually done to minimize the total operating cost of generation. When the electric system is unbundled, the economic dispatch and scheduling are done on the basis of prices bid to a central office. 

• This course includes the desire to mention briefly & study the final recommendations for energy saving in Generation, Transmission, Distribution, & Utilization.
• Also, provide the participants with a Global Perspective and insight into Energy Consulting abroad.
