DMS Modules - Hyderabad SCADA

Automatic Meter Reading
Features
 Meter Reading of the HT consumers (Industrial Load)
 Reading of meter parameters (Three phase currents, Three
phase voltages, Frequency, Power Factor etc.,
 Reading of energy values (MWH, MVARH)
 Monitoring of Contracted Maximum Demand
 Monitoring of Power theft
 Report generation for various monitored parameters
 Automatic billing for the consumers
 Monitoring of tampering of meters by the consumers
 Disconnection and Reconnection of the supply to the
consumers from the SCADA Control Centre

Load Control
Features
 It aims at regulating HT Consumer loads such that the system

load curve matches with system optimal capability, with a view
to minimize the overall cost since electricity demand and supply
vary widely in a day and over a year.
 The important benefits of Load Control are substantial reduction

of peak power losses and better utilization of system facilities
 Automatic and manual Grouping of HT Consumer loads by

taking into consideration the importance of the load
 Cold Load Pickup

Trouble Call Management
Features
 call registration
 call analysis
 job creation
 crew assignment
 job monitoring
 report generation
 display of real time status of devices

Call Registration

Call Analysis

Emergency Load Shedding
Features
 Selection of feeders to be tripped based on the electrical

network status
 Grouping of feeders depending upon the type of load
 Group Load Shedding

 feeders are divided into a set of groups based on the priority of the
feeders
 Total relief is specified and Lower priority groups are tripped first
and All the breakers in the group are shed.
 This scheme is suitable for contingency situation

Emergency Load Shedding
 Cyclic load shedding
 All the feeders are selected for load shedding.

 It uniformly distributes load shedding for all feeders as all feeders
are subjected to load shedding
 This scheme is suitable only during regular shortfall of power.
 Group cum cyclic load shedding

 Feeders are divided in group and within a group feeders are
arranged priority wise
 It uniformly distributes load shedding for all feeders. This scheme is
suitable for both contingent and regular situation.

Integrated Volt-Var Control
Features
 To provide good voltage profile and reduce reactive power

consumption.
 This application determines the optimal switching status of
capacitors and tap positions of voltage regulators after
reviewing the present network status
 Input data :- Real time voltages and power flows of each
network elements.
 Suggests capacitor bank switches to be operated and raise /
lower transformer tap positions
 User has the choice to accept the solution and issue command
or do his own case study
 User is provided with the report indicating all important
network parameters
Load Balancing
Features
 To form minimum loss network and to balance the loads in the
substations and feeders so that none of them is overloaded
 Ensures best voltage profile
 Suggests alternate routes and switching.
 Improves life span of the primary equipment by better
utilization of power transformers and feeder capacities.
 User has the choice to accept the solution and issue command
or do his own case study
 User is provided with the report indicating all important
network parameters

Facilities Management
 The module provides for dynamic screens to enter technical

particulars of different facilities as per the utility practice.
 Provides effective maintenance management of various
equipment connected in the electrical network.
 Provides flexibility to modify the maintenance schedules and
also add new facilities.
 Provides reports on the historical information, present status of
maintenance works carried out on the facilities.
 This module monitors the outage occurred on different facilities
and the repair/restoration work carried out on the facilities.
Also enables to monitor the amount spent on a particular device
towards repairs.

Fault Localisation
 On the occurrence of a fault on a radial distribution feeder, this

function finds out the section in which the fault has occurred.
 Method of identification of faulty section is to identify and open
the switch that divides the feeder into two nearly equal lengths
and charge the feeder from substation which determines, which
half of the feeder is faulty.
 This process of sectionalizing of faulty length of feeder and test
charging to determine which part is faulty is repeated till the
faulty region between two consecutive switches is identified.

Supply Restoration
Features
 Isolation of Fault: Program searches for switches in all
directions from the both end nodes of faulty section. It gives a
list of switches available for isolating the switches.
 Searching for alternate routes: Program takes one dark area at
a time and searches for alternate routes for extending supply to
it. It is repeated till all the dark areas are completed.
 Determining optimum route: Out of the alternate route list,
program finds out the optimum route based on substation
capacity.
 Displaying network changes: The changes in network are
displayed dynamically. The faulty area, the restored area, the
dark area, switches opened and switches closed are displayed in
different colors.
