Control Systems reaches major milestone on Taiwan Power project Advanced Control Systems, Inc. has successfully completed its initial Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for Taiwan Power Company, demonstrating the system's overall functionality and paving the way for site installation of the world's first fully-integrated Distribution Automation and Demand-Side Management (DA/DSM) system. The master station components shipped from the company's Norcross, Georgia, headquarters in June 2001. Installation of remote system components -- RTUs/FTUs -- was completed earlier in the year. Advanced Control Systems is participating in a multi-national consortium that includes Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (MELCO; Kobe, Japan) and Shihlin Electric Engineering Company (Taiwan). The project automates power distribution for Tai-Chung, Taiwan's capital and third largest city. Advanced Control Systems, a technological leader in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and distribution management systems (DMS), is responsible for the breakthrough software that made the 965 million New Taiwan Dollar (approximately US $27.6M) turnkey system possible. The primary purpose of the system is feeder automation, including overhead, underground and mixed feeders. It incorporates advancements such as real-time trouble-call analysis and feeder fault detection/restoration, including a virtually instantaneous display of trouble spots. The system is designed to increase up-time and reduce operating costs for Taiwan Power. When the project is completed, Taiwan Power will be able to locate, isolate, and, in many cases, resolve power outages automatically, without dispatcher intervention, in real time. |
