Introduction of ADCC
Taiwan Power Company (TPC) Area Dispatch Control System (ADCS) are currently using a hybrid of SCADA solutions across its 6 Control Centres in Taiwan. ADCS SCADA systems monitor and/or control the following substations: Extra High Voltage substations(345/161kV), Primary Substations (161/69kV), Distribution Substations(161/22/11kV) and Secondary Substations(69/11kV). Besides SCADA, ADCS also runs Volt/Var control to maintain and/or improve the power factor and regulates bus voltage in substations.
TPC plans to reduce the number of control systems from 6 to 5, namely New Taipei ADCS (combining Keelung and Taipei ADCS), Hsinchu ADCS, Taichung ADCS, Hsinying ADCS and Kaohsiung ADCS. Each Control System will have their respective hot backup system. State-of-the-art features such as Historical Information Server, Multisite, Reactive Power Device Control, Common Information Model, Cyber Security enforcement and development platform will also be included.
The functions of ADCS in the future are listed the following:
Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) function.
The scheme of control in RPDC can be satisfying to the necessary for system reliability.
Save historical grid operation information for more than 10 years.
