 WHAT

IS LOAD DISPATCH CENTER?

THE LOAD CENTER IS THE CENTER WHICH PERFORMS

DISPATCH AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS TO ENSURE
CONTINUTIY AND QUALITY OF POWER SUPPLY TO THE
CONSUMERS. ALL THE MODERN LOAD DISPATCH CENTER
USE THE SCADA SYSTEM (SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND
DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM) FOR MONITORING AND
COLLECTING THE SYSTEM DATA. THE FUNCTIONS OF
THE LOAD DISAPTCH CENTERS INCLUDE THE
SUPERVISORY OF THE SYSTEM ELEMENTS LIKE
GENERAOTR, TRANSFORMER, TRANSMISSION LINE ETC.
OF THE INTERCONNECTED SYSTEM.
THE LOAD DISPATCH CENTER ALSO PERFORMS THE
SECURITY AND ECONOMIC OPERATION OF THE POWER
SYSTEM. IT IS ALSO USED TO RESTORE THE NORMAL
FUNCTIONIG OF THE POWER LINE AS EARLY AS
POSSIBLE AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF THE FAULT.
