SCADA and GIS at SCE&G
South Carolina Electric & Gas (SCE&G) has completed conversion of the land and electric facilities in their 14,000 square mile service area. These facilities reside in a seamless database that allows access by all of our GIS applications. We have a fully functioning Editor that can be accessed by over 100 users across much of South Carolina on our wide area network. We also have a View tool that lets even more users navigate the spatial data, generate logical and physical queries, and produce specialty maps customized for their particular requirements. With our Map application, standard SCE&G maps can be produced with only a few button picks, generating up-to-the minute maps. Using an underground design application, users can optimize design scenarios, saving designer time and overall capital construction costs. Both our distribution planning engineers and our distribution operations engineers are able to make near real-time analysis of the system, or predict the future of the system by projecting loads
and potential switching using the GIS application Distops. Users can even access SCADA readings in real time in the GIS application GIS/SCADA. This paper focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of several methods of integrating GIS and SCADA.
