Improvements to the operational efficiency of electric power companies have hitherto been made within individual control centers and departments. To achieve further reductions in electric power transmission costs, it will become necessary to use IT (information technology) to link these control centers and departments together. For this purpose, Hitachi proposes total optimization with synergy solutions between information and control. It consists of (1) linking these systems together by standardizing their database architectures, and (2) establishing real-time information links between different network operation support systems. With the addition of links to accounting and resource purchase systems, these solutions will provide valuable support for total optimization in electric power companies.
