Key to utility R and D facts. [EPRI R and D Information system, Palo Alto]
EPRI's Research and Development Information System (RDIS) established in 1974 as a primary source of information about the R and D activities of EPRI and the U.S. electric utilities, contains details on approximately 3000 R and D projects under way or recently completed by some 90 organizations. RDIS was designed as a single authoritative source of electric utility R and D information to reduce the duplication of research effort and broaden the application of new and improved technology. Details about EPRI projects in the data base are updated monthly. Information is revised annually for the projects of other participating organizations. The data base is computerized so that access is provided through a computer terminal linked by telephone and teletype lines through the Telenet communications system to the RECON IV program of Informatics, Inc. The central computer containing the RDIS data base is located at the Informatics facility in Fairfield, New Jersey. The data base is organized in 13 major subject categories: general R and D support, hydroelectric power, nuclear power, fossil fuels, advanced power systems, transmission, distribution, stations and substations, customer utilization, economics, personnel, area development, and environmental assessment.
