Regulatory Imperatives

• Do away with averaging out peak power prices

• Drive commonwealth targets for renewable energy

• Promote adoption of more sophisticated control systems to facilitate connection of highly variable sources of power

• Security considerations seeking more robust energy grid less dependent on centralised power stations

Operator Imperatives

• Offer greater choice to customers in how they use energy

• Increased system reliability (lower OPEX)

• Greater energy efficiency (lower CAPEX)

• Meet statutory carbon targets - cleaner environment

• Higher operational flexibility and pricing options

Smart Grid Operations Command-and-Control Centre is the single operations console that manages the entire distribution network. An operator is no longer required to monitor the network in a SCADA system, make changes in an OMS, use automated vehicle location (AVL) to find a field resource, and call the resource to assign a work order.

DMS and enhanced operations centre increases the ability to quickly detect and respond to potential problems.
