Control and Monitoring of Power Facilities as Per LFC Standard

Abstract

The article brings closer the principle of operation of the new power distribution system, LFC, being the successor of the ARCM SOWE system. The majority of the study is concentrated on the architecture of the local LFC system node authored by IASE sp. z o.o. there have been brought closer, here, the problems of automatic unit control in accordance with the plans and commands from the central LFC controller, of the system operation monitoring via the integrated SMPP module as well as the problems connected with the new technologies employed by LFC (the protocol ICCP-TASE.2 and the standard IEC60870-6, among other things). There have been also described the most important components, SRM LFC, responsible, among others, for the exchange of data with the unit automation, archiving and making available the historical data, setting and viewing of the current automatic control values transmitted by OSP.
