The ultimate goal of integrating the generic functions presently described as supervisory control and data acquisition, load management, and distribution feeder automation into a single system has led to the proposed concept of a distribution energy control center (DECC). An experiment is being conducted on the Athens Utilities Board's (AUB) distribution network in the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) service area. When successfully implemented, the installed hardware/software could become a test bed for future end use and distribution automation experiments. The DECC system will feature distribution automation and control concepts, develop closed loop control of feeder and substation functions, and extend and examine various load management concepts. DECC will be linked to TVA's bulk power control system.
