Abstract: (22700 Views)
Almost all of electric utility companies are planning to improve their
management automation system, in order to meet the changing requirements of new
liberalized energy market and to benefit from the innovations in information and
communication technology (ICT or IT). Architectural design of the utility management
automation (UMA) systems for their IT-enabling requires proper selection of IT choices for
UMA system, which leads to multi-criteria decision-makings (MCDM). In response to this
need, this paper presents a model-based architectural design-decision methodology. The
system design problem is formulated first then, the proposed design method is introduced,
and implemented to one of the UMA functions–feeder reconfiguration function (FRF)– for
a test distribution system. The results of the implementation are depicted, and
comparatively discussed. The paper is concluded by going beyond the results and fair
generalization of the discussed results finally, the future under-study or under-review
works are declared.
