Rapid technological advances within the telecommunication sector and the power sector`s ever-increasing needs for information and transmission services have led utilities to use heterogeneous telecommunication networks, grouping together equipment from various manufacturers and technologies. Management of such networks is difficult and fragmented, often employing proprietary systems. As part of its Research Electrotechnical Program, the Spanish Ministry of Industry and Energy financed the development of a system for integrated expert management of power utility telecommunication networks. The NOMOS (Greek for law or custom) system offers many benefits, the most significant of which are: integration of subsystems; application of expert system technology for fault management; and use of existing standards within the sector. This article takes a look at the reasons why integrated network management is needed, describes aspects of the integration process and the expert system, and points out the most significant elements that make use of internationally accepted standards.
