Abstract
In 1983, a microprocessor-based data acquisition unit was first installed in a Bell Canada site to remotely monitor a -48 V DC power plant. Since that time, the technology of such units has evolved, and their use has become widespread throughout the company. The evolution of computer-aided power management at Bell Canada is reviewed, and some of the numerous advantages and savings are identified. The benefits include: reduced travel time, increased accuracy in the provisioning of power equipment, increased information on battery condition based on performance during power failures, possible delayed battery replacement beyond prescribed lifespan, automatically equalized batteries, and increased troubleshooting information.<>
