Web-services infrastructure for information integration in power systems

Abstract

This paper identifies new information integration requirements related to operation, marketing, and maintenance of a power system. A Web-services infrastructure for information integration in power systems is proposed. The objective is to develop an open, flexible, and scaleable framework with higher cooperation and integration capability. Some design issues for implementing a Web services-based SCADA (WS-SCADA) are addressed as a case study of this novel infrastructure
