This paper describes the actual status of the Venezuelan Electric Power System, the different operational areas involved, and finally the Interconnected System. Due to the development in the Power System, and in order to perform a more reliable and economic operation, it was established the need to implement a new supervisory system, for the Interconnected System Control Center. Also is described the system for the new control center for Oficina de Operacion de Sistemas Interconectados (OPSIS). OPSIS will monitor the Bulk Transmission Network (BTN), and will exchange information and control with the Regional Dispatch Centers through the computer network. The Regional Dispatch Center (RDC) shall have the responsibility to accomplish the control order. The Bulk Transmissions System consists of that portion of the system from 800 KV to 230 KV. A total of six RDCs will be included in the system.
