KEGOC starts upgrading the automatic data collection and operational control system

KEGOC launched a project to modernize the dispatching hardware and software complex – an automatic data acquisition and operational control system (SCADA/EMS). As part of the project, the existing technological system will be replaced with the domestic FACEPLATE software platform. This is the latest platform developed by domestic specialists. The project is being implemented with KEGOC's own funds and is expected to be completed in 2025.

According to Yeraly Shinasilov, director of the National Dispatch Center of the System Operator branch of KEGOC JSC, the modernization is aimed at improving the efficiency of the dispatch control of the Unified Electricity System of Kazakhstan and the observability of electricity market entities.

- The hardware platform on which SCADA/EMS currently operates at KEGOC has reached its end of life. Therefore, in order to solve long-term tasks and meet the existing needs of the company, including the widespread development of renewable energy generation, the introduction of a balancing market, the introduction of technological systems and elements of "smart" networks, the company is upgrading the SCADA / EMS hardware and software complex, - he noted.
