LAN SYSTEMS TEACHES BEST PRACTICES IN
SCADA ALARMS AT
2009 GEMC MEETING
Norcross, Georgia – October 22, 2009 – LAN
Systems CEO Mary Hester presented SCADA Alarm Best Practices at
the 2009 Georgia EMC Engineers Association Fall meeting at
Callaway Gardens.
Understanding how energy and distribution management systems
integrate into Smart Grid initiatives is of increasing interest.
"SCADA systems provide real-time intelligence on the operational
state of the grid," said
Ms. Hester. “Understanding and properly evaluating alarms is
critical to the health of the power system. Often SCADA
systems provide the first indication there is a problem and acting
on these early warnings is essential to the health of the Smart
Grid.”
Engineering
staff from EMCs throughout the state of Georgia participated in
the three day meeting. Topics included a wide range of order to
make the topics of general interest, LAN Systems included information on security
problems that you will see on your home computer.
Attendees shared their experiences with computer problems
from malware and we discussed tools to remove even insidious
infections.
With the focus on the Smart Grid, it is crucial that utility
personnel obtain information, education and application of
initiatives that will drive the new electric grid. Many
utilities are working on projects that will increase reliability
and promote time-of-use metering for customers. Strategies
are needed that combine new technology and operational efficiency
that work for customers and power utilities.
