Automating RTU & SCADA testing in Electric Substations with Python Scripting
First things first: Food!
This will be a plated, served dinner. Please write in your selection of soup or salad, Entree, and Dessert in the question & answer section further down on this registration page
Your menu options are:
Soup or Salad: Choice of – Gumbo, Turtle, Soup du jour OR House salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
Entrée: Choice of – Pecan Catfish, Veal Parmesan, OR Panne Chicken w/ Pasta Alfred
Dessert: Bread Pudding
Summary of Presentation:
A utility splits its distribution SCADA out from its transmission SCADA and into a new Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS, a SCADA server developed by Schnieder Electric). This utility contracts our team to assist with the SCADA <-> RTU testing against this new ADMS server to make sure that the point mappings are all correct. This is a time-consuming project where someone has to travel to each substation and locally force points in the D20 RTUs that are communicating to this new ADMS system. This presentation will tell the story of how our team of engineers developed a software application to assist testers throughout this project, and I'll highlight the twists, turns, concerns, and challenges along the way to getting this thing to work in a production electric utility's fleet of substations. This work was a neat blend between computing, communications, and power.
