Distribution level power systems are characterized by a very large network of feeders, transformers, sectionalizing switches and fuses. Because of the large number of components and the relatively low power levels flowing through any particular portion of the distribution system, most of the network has no telemetering, or remote control capabilities, except, perhaps, at the distribution substations. This paper describes the implementation of full-color digital maps within a distribution SCADA system. The maps, and all the symbology they contain, originate from the client's AM/FM system where they can be updated. These maps contain special symbols that are dynamically updated with SCADA data to continuously represent the current state of the distribution system. The operator has the capability to pan to a desired point on the maps, zoom in or out on a point, with maps automatically changing from one level of detail to another at predefined zoom scales (decluttering), bring up windows containing graphics or standard SCADA crt displays that are familiar to the operator, and issue supervisory control commands.
