A Vision for an Advanced Supervision
and Control System for the Electric Grid

Introduction
Washington DC October 2012
According to the new trends in power system supervision, XM has formulated a
project to conceptualize, design and implement an Advanced Supervision and
Control system in the Colombian power system based on the paradigms of
WAMS and WAMPAC.
The project proposes the radical evolution from the traditional Energy
Management Systems being used today, towards the utilization of new
technologies for measurement, analysis, computing and communications for
control center operations.
The planned solution will integrate “electrical” data with non-traditional asset
monitoring data to implement a platform for complete system awareness.

Challenges for Fast Growing
Economies
• GDP and demand growth above 5%
• Increased population densities around
cities
• “Deficient” urban planning
• Increasing land costs
• Tighter environmental laws
• Sub-transmission and Distribution
networks close to their capacity and
their life cycle
• How to serve cities hungry for energy
with improved reliability?
• How to serve them as economically
as possible?
• Which technologies will enable all this
non converging goals?

• OpenPDC as PDC for Research and Development
Next Steps:
• Ongoing installations for additional 24 PMUs
• Ongoing prototype development for IDDs at
three substations for Collaborative Protection
and State Reconciliation
• Developing a Road Map with ISA (XM’s Parent
Company and Transmission Owner) for including
non operational variables for Dynamic
Transmission Operation and Planning
International Collaboration:
• Currently developing the formulation for
technical assistance support from USTDA for the
design of the Data Bus and Gateway functionality
for the iSAAC project in association with Quanta
Technology.

Final Remarks…
Washington DC October 2012
The challenge for the new electric industry is to
monitor, control and protect the energy
infrastructure on a new market environment with
more dynamic energy flows.
With an improved reliability promise !
