Abstract
The project of remote control brings a technological improvement to the process of management and exploitation of the transmission system of Serbia in accordance with the latest European trends. The most noticeable application of remote control in regional centers is changing the appearance of the center itself. They are equipped with video walls that, with modules for the synoptic display of the network, build a unique wall that enables the operational staff of the regional control centre to fulfill the main task : effective risk reduction in management processes. A unique software solution for camera management enables monitoring of the elements specified in the SCADA system on the video wall in real time from different angles. The video wall in the control centers is equipped with six panels, so each element of the high - voltage plant can be viewed with six different cameras, that is, from six different angles. The cameras themselves have specific protective modules, anti-fog solutions, so in conditions of reduced visibility, the camera enables high-quality functional video surveillance. Thermal modules in individual cameras allow the temperature of each element of the monitored plant or even a part of it, to be precisely determined in real time by operational staff.The application software allows the center's operational staff to control the position of each individual camera in the monitored objects with framing changes, zooming and linear perspective changes. It is also possible to archive photos and videos according to the selected model. The system offers a large number of facility monitoring capabilities and functions, but this very capability should initiate limitation to those functions performed by the regional transmission system control center. We are still practically dealing with the identification of those new functions that can be an auxiliary tool in the basic task of the regional control center. When the staff of the center supervises an unoccupied facility, it is unquestionable that video surveillance conceived in this way brings a lot of technological possibilities, but are they sufficient to implement dispatching actions as when they are initiated by information from operators on the spot? Currently, such actions are limited, but new aspects of application are noted: exploitation, fire protection... Other functions should be left to be performed by some future remote control plant maintenance centers. We have very positive experiences in the application of these solutions in our previous work. Users still have to study the application of the possibilities offered by the system, to modify it according to their requirements and thus improve video surveillance in the function of plant management.
