Washington DC October 2012Introduction

According to the new trends in power system supervision, XM has formulated a project to conceptualize, design and implement an Advanced Supervision and Control system in the Colombian power system based on the paradigms of WAMS and WAMPAC.

The project proposes the radical evolution from the traditional Energy Management Systems being used today, towards the utilization of new technologies for measurement, analysis, computing and communications for control center operations.

The planned solution will integrate “electrical” data with non-traditional asset monitoring data to implement a platform for complete system awareness.

Challenges for Fast Growing Economies

• GDP and demand growth above 5%• Increased population densities

around cities• “Deficient” urban planning• Increasing land costs• Tighter environmental laws• Sub-transmission and Distribution

networks close to their capacity and their life cycle

• How to serve cities hungry for energy with improved reliability?

• How to serve them as economically as possible?

• Which technologies will enable all this non converging goals?

Washington DC October 2012What do we have today?

Current WAMS Implementation:• 16 Substations with PMU monitoring• Psymetrix/Alstom PhasorPoint PDC• OpenPDC as PDC for Research and Development

Next Steps:• Ongoing installations for additional 24 PMUs• Ongoing prototype development for IDDs at

three substations for Collaborative Protection and State Reconciliation

• Developing a Road Map with ISA (XM’s Parent Company and Transmission Owner) for including non operational variables for Dynamic Transmission Operation and Planning

International Collaboration:• Currently developing the formulation for

technical assistance support from USTDA for the design of the Data Bus and Gateway functionality for the iSAAC project in association with Quanta Technology.
