 rst-of-its-kind suite of IT-systems designed to 

control power supply in Sochi was commissioned 
in September of 2013. Information systems of the 
Power Supply Control Centre (PSCC) of Sochi 

energy region were designed according to the special order 
of JSC “FGC UES”, part of JSC “Russian Grids” Group 
of Companies. The project was implemented within the 
framework of an agreement on interaction signed between 
JSC “FGC UES” and Rostec Corporation. The direct pro-
ject contractor was CJSC “RTEC”, part of Rostec Corpo-
ration. The large-scale high-tech project was implemented 
within a short time. The period from development of tech-
nical solutions to commissioning of the system at PSCC of 
Sochi energy region was less than half a year.

The main task of PSCC is monitoring and analyzing 

the general and operational situations at power facilities 
involved in external power supply of Olympic venues and 
infrastructure facilities in Sochi, as well as organization 
of interaction and coordination of efforts of all entities. 
PSCC is to ensure ef

fi

 ciency and justi

fi

 cation of the taken 

decisions through introduction of innovative technologies, 
analysis and visualization of information that is critical for 
situational control of operation both in normal operating 
and emergency modes.

PSCC implements a suite of three integrated basic in-

formation systems, which includes the Decision Support 
System (DSS), the main and redundant SCADA Systems.

The main tasks of PSCC suite of information systems 

are the following:
•   monitoring of general and operational situations. Reg-

ular preparation and reporting of monitoring results in 
accordance with provisions of the Regulation on the 
control of power supply of Olympic venues and prin-
ciples of interaction between organizations supplying 
power to Olympic venues during preparation for and 
holding XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralym-
pic Winter Games 2014 in Sochi;

•   real-time situational analysis and assessment for facili-

ties supplying power to Olympic venues in Sochi re-
gion;

•  coordination of actions of organizations operating 

Olympic venues in case of accidents and emergency 
situations in external power supply networks of these 
venues;

•   interaction with regional and federal authorities, struc-

tural subdivisions of EMERCOM of Russia, personnel 
of grid companies and companies providing back-up 
power supply of Olympic venues.
The PSCC decision support system is designed for con-

stant comprehensive and real-time situational monitoring 
and, ultimately, for increasing ef

fi

 ciency and justi

fi

 cation 

of decisions. DSS is designed for creating conditions for 
individual and joint work of operating personnel of sub-
stations, 

fi

 eld crews and PSCC personnel both in normal 

operating mode and in emergency situations.

PSCC DSS is based on QuaSy-DSS platform; its meth-

odological basis is formed by innovative smart technolo-
gies, including methods of ontological modelling, the 
concept of systemic situational analysis of activity, expe-
rientology as the direction providing for structuring, or-
ganizing, accumulating and translating of experience, as 
well as the language of structured messages. This was the 
actual foundation for automation of processes of collec-
tion, processing, statistical analysis and visual display of 
information about current activities of organizations sup-
plying power to Olympic venues, including maintaining 
electronic operating documentation by PSCC personnel.

PSCC DSS provides for ful

fi

 llment of the following 

functions:
•   receiving, storing, displaying and preliminary analy-

sis of regular data 

fl

 ows in-coming as structured mes-

sages (basic real-time information) from workplaces 
of PSCC on-duty operating personnel generated on the 
basis of the power engineer’s language of structured 
messages;

•   receiving, conversion, analysis of regular 

fl

 ows  of 

well-structured messages, their classi

fi

 cation  and 

submission of operational situation reports to various 
levels of decision-taking in order to create a coherent 
view of the objectively existing situation;

well-structured models of infrastructure space and timing. 
A Web-oriented tool making it possible both to conduct its 
integration into any Web-application and use it as a sepa-
rate stand-alone application.

OL

A subsystem of maintaining operations logs of the net-

work control centre. The principle of using OL is described 
in detail in the joint work by A. Badalov, D. Gvozdev, 
V. Pelymsky, B. Shvedin.

PMIT enables arranging data communication (struc-

tured messages) by means of communication devices (tab-
lets) of the operating personnel of substations. Provides 
a possibility of generating and communicating messages 
with the use of information pro

fi

 les of equipment of cer-

tain substations or transmission lines.

Messages are generated in the dialogue mode with the 

use of autosyntax in accordance with the speci

fi

 ed algo-

rithm.

The substation operating personnel was offered a dia-

logue-based model of situational analysis (DMSA), which 
made it possible to signi

fi

 cantly reduce personnel’s mis-

takes in stress conditions. An example of the interface is 
shown in Fig. 4. 

CAPABILITIES AND TECHNOLOGIES OF GIS-BASED 

VISUALIZATION

DSS makes it possible to work with geoinformation 

data. Data of external GIS-systems can be imported into 
DSS GIS-system. All data are consolidated and by means 
of integration services are sent to adjacent SCADA-sys-
tems. In addition, integration services enable real-time 
displaying of data, reports, diagrams from DSS of the 
Joint Situational Analysis Centre on a geographic map.

Also, the GIS-subsystem receives information about 

the location of operating vehicles and crews. DSS in-
terface enables easily navigating the map with all avail-
able objects to be supervised within the framework of the 
PSCC IS project. A fragment of basic DSS interface with 
the GIS-underlay is shown in Fig. 5.

During implementation of the project they used the 

logic of displaying monitoring areas according to their 
signi

fi

 cance for the power supply of the region. In order to 

provide full visualization of monitoring areas and depend-

fi

 cant’ and red — ‘most signi

fi

 cant’ (Fig. 6).

The main SCADA provides monitoring and displaying 

diagrams and operation pattern of Sochi energy region of 
Kuban energy system as well as condition of the equip-
ment (main SCADA-1). For the 

fi

 rst time in the Russian 

electric power industry they commissioned the SCADA-
EMS e-terraplatform system by Alstom.

It should be emphasized that 

SCADA-EMS, built on the basis of 
the equipment database following IEC 
(CIM) standards, was integrated for the 

fi

 rst time in the Russian electric power 

industry, too.

The 

fl

 ow of the manipulated telem-

etry is strictly attached to the equipment 
database and supported by it.

Special attention should be paid to 

the e-terravision technology (SA - situ-
ational awareness). It is the 

fi

 rst-time 

integration of the given solution, which 
is innovative for the world practice, in 
Russia.

The redundant SCADA Syndis was 

supplied by “Mikronika” Company.

er-transmitter station), an innovative 
tool enabling programmatically organ-

izing the telemetry 

fl

 ow, was used for the 

fi

 rst time. Also, 

integration of the redundant SCADA and DSS was carried 
out. The redundant system provides monitoring and dis-
playing diagrams and operation pattern of Sochi energy 
region of Kuban energy system as well as condition of the 
equipment.

For the 

fi

 rst time the PCSS project implemented the 

technology of semantic integration between SCADA-
EMS e-terraplatform and QuaSy DSS by using the 
QuaSy ConFrame-Electric Federator tool. The seman-
tic integration was carried out with the use of the se-
mantic ID generator for all equipment, as well as for 
the full telemetry 

fl

 ow. Thus, each telesignal and telem-

etering had not only its address, but also its semantic 
ID.

For the purpose of integration with SCADA Syndis 

only internal IDs of the system itself were used. In case of 
manual control of switching equipment the respective sig-
nals were sent from DSS to the main and redundant SCA-
DA systems, like from a single source. On the other side, 
telesignals generated in the main and redundant SCADA 
systems were received by DSS for analysis.

Fig. 7 shows the PCSS on-duty engineer’s working 

interface, which clearly demonstrates the way teleinfor-
mation is received from SCADA Alstom and SCADA 
Syndis.
