| Recent trends and new technologies are providing the capabilities for communication networks to be introduced at lower costs than were previously possible. The common denominator is the use of the IP networking.
For many utilities today, IP-based networks to substations, between offices, and to other locations are feasible. IP-based networks make it feasible to support multiple applications on the same network connection. For example, a utility with an IP-network to a substation can simultaneously support SCADA, load management, AMR, direct connect to relay configuration ports, and video monitoring.
PSE has helped utilities migrate from a proprietary communication's solution that contains a single technology for each application, to an environment that shares a common IP-based network for multiple applications.
Services PSE can provide in this area include: |
|
|
|
- Evaluate the benefits, costs, risks, and process for migrating to an IP-network.
- Design the most appropriate IP-based solution.
- Address migration from legacy equipment and software that uses proprietary and serial communication protocols.
- Prepare detailed procurement specifications including interfaces to all legacy, and new, equipment and systems.
- Assist with selection and contracting for communication equipment and service providers.
- Lead or assist with the implementation process.
