The Distribution Circuit Modeling System (DCMS), an in-house designed mini-computer system is expected to solve power distribution problems twice as fast as the present system used by the Houston Lighting and Power Company. The system can evaluate alternatives during outages or when problems develop because of construction delays. It combines a mini-computer modeling system with high resolution graphical display and digitized feeder data. Each substation has a data set with instant retrieval and daily updating. Planners, using an alpha-numeric keyboard, can use the data to simulate and refine changes to the system. The computer then relinks the system to accommodate the changes. Several configurations can be stored to help in selecting the optimum construction plan.
