Development of a SCADA System and Remote Control Center for Kon Tum Power Company

Phase 1 – SCADA System Development (03/2015 – 06/2015):
From March 23 to March 29, 2015, MPCo conducted a technology transfer training program on the Survalent SCADA software for technical staff of Kon Tum Power Company. Immediately after the training, the Dispatching Department of PC Kon Tum independently developed and configured the SCADA system, aiming to integrate all reclosers on the province’s medium-voltage network into the Survalent SCADA system via standard communication protocols, including IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-104, and DNP3.0.
The SCADA system was officially accepted and commissioned in June 2015, significantly enhancing the monitoring and operational capabilities of Kon Tum’s medium-voltage power network.

Project Information

• Project Name: Remote Control Center at Kon Tum Power Company
• Investor: Central Power Corporation (EVNCPC)
• Location: Kon Tum Province
• Implementation Period: 2015 – 2016

Phase 2 – Development of the Remote Control Center (RCC) and SCADA Upgrade (09/2016 – 12/2016):
On September 25, 2016, EVNCPC approved and assigned PC Kon Tum to implement the Remote Control Center (RCC) and SCADA system project for Kon Tum Province in 2016. The RCC was developed based on the SCADA system established in 2015, with the objective of integrating 110kV substations, hydropower plants, and equipment on the medium-voltage network into the central control system.

On December 26, 2016, the Kon Tum Remote Control Center (RCC) was officially inaugurated and put into operation, enhancing the control and monitoring capabilities of the power grid. By 2018, the center had successfully integrated and remotely controlled 4 110kV substations, 5 hydropower plants, and more than 135 devices on the medium-voltage network, contributing to optimized operations, reduced fault handling time, and improved power supply reliability across the entire province.
