OVERVIEW

To improve operating efficiency for deregulation and for other changes in the operating environment, electric power utilities in Japan are integrating information and control systems to support a stable supply of power and strengthening their connections. For that reason, the demand for the reliability in information and control systems, is even greater than before. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of the interconnectability and expandability of systems, there is a need to implement open systems that are based on industrial standard specifications. Under those requirements, Hitachi, Ltd. developed DORA-Power (Dependable, Open and Real-time Architecture for power systems), which conforms to the open platform that is rapidly being standardized and builds in the technology for achieving high reliability and high responsiveness that has been developed for information and control systems. DORA-Power makes it possible to incorporate the state-of-the-art technology to achieve superior functionality and operability in information and control systems for power systems, where reliability and real-time operation are required.
