| Abstract |
In recent, KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) faced difficulties of the DCC (distribution control center) due to the increase of field equipment and operational cost, and aging of operating staffs. In response to these changes in the DCC, KEPCO is trying to change the organization and system of the DCC. In this paper, we present a new attempt to change organization and structure of distribution control center, which was implemented by KEPCO recently. This paper is divided into three major parts. First, to examine the adequacy of the divided basis of current DCCs based on the quantity of installed electrical equipment, we analyzed the correlation between the operational history of the DCCs and the number of equipment. Through the analysis, we confirmed that there is little relationship between the number of equipment and actual workload. Second, we conducted visits and questionnaire surveys of all the DCCs to identify factors affecting the actual workload of distribution operators and then summarized the results. Third, based on this survey, a general formula for analyzing the workload of a DCC was derived, and each DCC's average annual total workload, day/night workload, and required number of personnel were calculated. Through this study, we proposed a more realistic management method of DCCs that can overcome the division criteria based on equipment quantity. |
