1 Executive summary
The objective of a feasibility study is to compare different alternatives from technical
but also economic points of view in order to determine the best solution for a project.
Therefore, this report studies accurately the different alternatives, which have already
been suggested in the inception report.
The first part of the present report describes the teleinformation plan which lists all
the information that will be exchanged between substations and control centres. This
is from the teleinformation plan that the telecommunication network and the SCADA
system are built and the costs of RTUs and associated Adaptation Works are
estimated. This is why it is recommended to optimize the list of teleinformations in
order to facilitate the operation of the system by operators and to reduce the number
of I/O cards and associated adaptation works.
Three alternatives have been scrutinised in the study. The first one does not consider
the A2 project (installation of RTU in 80% of primary substations) requiring the
upgrading of all Primary substations for both HV and MV levels. The second one
takes into account the so-called A2 project and the last one considers the SPC mini
SCADA Project.
The second part of the report studies four architectures already presented in the
inception report:
 Architecture no 1: “One SCADA system per Province”
 Architecture no 2: “One SCADA system in some strategic Provinces”
 Architecture no 3: “One remote console connected to the main System within
each Province”
 Architecture no 4: “One and only one SCADA system within SPC head offices”
The Architecture no 3, “One remote console connected to the main System within
each Province”, turns out to meet SPC needs and has the advantage to present the
lowest cost and the most flexible solution in terms of adaptation capability. All types
of control organisation (i.e. centralised, decentralised or mixed) can easily be
implemented with the Architecture 3 ensuring its sustainability for SPC.
From the Consortium point of view, the most efficient organisation should be to
centralise one operating team (24/24) within SPC head offices in order to monitor
and operate the MV network and 110kV substation from this only one site.
Regarding the telecommunication point of view, the best way seems to use an optical
fiber network in order to implement an SDH network with a TCP/IP technology and to
use it for both telecontrol and corporate needs. This telecommunication network will
also allow implementing video surveillance, telemetering, telephone systems over IP
and future applications based on the TCP/IP protocol.
Finally, the third architecture has been chosen to carry out the economic and
financial study. Nevertheless, two cases have been studied: the first one assumes
that the control of MV devices (reclosers) will be in charge of Control Centres but not
in the second case. Eventually the solution including the MV devices control is the
alternative recommended by the Consortium taking technical and also economical
and financial aspects into consideration.
2 Main outlines of the Project

As a subsidiary of Vietnam Electricity (EVN), Southern Power Company (SPC) has
been doing business in 21 Southern provinces, excluding Ho Chi Minh City. Its major
function is distribution and sales of electricity up to 110 kV to its customers. In
addition, SPC has diversified other activities such as power generation (small-hydro
and diesel), power design/consulting, testing, import and export of electrical materials
and equipment.
In order to meet the demand for electricity to its customers SPC needs to enhance
reliability, security, stability and power quality of the power system of which SPC is in
charge of. Therefore, SPC decided to implement a SCADA system.
SPC contracted with EDF-ERDF consortium to provide consultancy services for the
above mentioned project which initially consisted carrying out a feasibility study, a
conceptual design and drafting the EPC Tender Documents, following up the
contractor’s project implementation and preparing a training plan for SPC’s staff.
The present feasibility study document follows the first stage of the consultancy
services, i.e. data collection and sites survey. First, it summarises the Inception
Report, and gives the major principles of telecontrol from the operating point of view.
Then, it depicts the common aspects of the various SCADA architectures alternatives
(i.e. adaptation works) before scrutinizing each of them in details. The training plan
follows this analyse, precedes the global analysis (including cost estimate) and the
financial and economic analysis and finally the Consortium advice.
Note: Most of acronyms are listed in a glossary at the end of this document (ref.
chapter 14 - Glossary).
3 Scope of Feasibility Study

Pursuant to Terms of References (TOR), the objectives of this feasibility study are:
(1) To prepare a feasibility study report on the SCADA system and 110kV
unmanned substations for the entire SPC’s 110kV network. This report will
include specific contents as the needs and objectives to invest the project;
a technical analysis to select the best solutions to the model,
configurations, technology, and communication links for SPC’s SCADA
system; a total cost estimate; an economic and financial analysis; an
implementation plan, etc.
(2) To prepare a training plan to build SPC’s personnel knowledge and
capability to design, install, manage, operate, and maintain the SCADA
system and 110 kV substations of SPC, including training budget and
timetable.
4 Data collected (summary of the inception report)

The data collection has been conducted in 2 phases, a survey mission of 12 days in
the region under SPC responsibility and a phase of assessment of collected data
with a very first view of possible architectures of the future telecontrol network and a
first cost estimate. The following domains were covered: adaptation works, RTU,
telecommunications, SCADA and operating organisation.
Regarding substation (ref. Inception report - chapter 3.3) all visits done by the
Consortium has shown that the different components were well maintained and in
good working conditions. Around 30% of substations were equipped with RTU (ref.
Inception report - chapter 3.4), which, for most of them, concern 110kV bays. So,
they could be already used after I/O cards upgrading and relevant adaptation works
to take into account 22kV feeder bays.
Regarding telecommunication (ref. Inception report - chapter 3.5), two levels have to
be considered: substation and Province Load Dispatch Centre. Both of them are
based on radio, CDMA or Public phone. But as not any transmission link is installed
because not any RTU has to communicate with a SPC SCADA at the present stage,
the operational network cannot be considered as useable as it is and shall be
adapted and enhanced to do so.
So, these telecommunication network link different staffs working in different SPC
sites, from head office to substations. Normally, they also link substation RTU with
SCADA (ref. Inception report - chapter 3.6) within Control Centres. At present, it is
estimated that not any present SCADA systems could be reused for the present
project.
Dealing with SPC SCADA system leads “de facto” to get onto operating organisation
(ref. Inception report - chapter 3.7). This organisation is based on hierarchical
principles:
 On the 110kV network side, A2 supervises and operates the network whereas
SPC performs manoeuvres on request, in the non-remote controlled
substations, and thus, even if SPC is the owner of the 110kV networks.
 On the 22kV networks side, SPC supervises, operates and control from a
centralised entity (PLDC) with the help of the operators in the primary
substations. However this organisation without any SCADA system leads SPC
to operate the 22kV network uneasily and few efficiently.
A very rough financial estimation is also done and a particular focus is done
regarding different SCADA architectures.
Concerning Adaptation works and RTU (ref. Inception report - chapter 4.1), the
Scope does not change and leads that all 110kV bays and all 22kV feeders should
be connected to future RTU.
From a telecommunication point of view (ref. Inception report - chapter 4.2), the using
of an optical fibre network seems to be the most efficient way.
Regarding the SCADA four architectures (ref. Inception report - chapter 4.4.2) are
suggested with rough cost estimation.
Whatever the SCADA architecture, the operation or maintenance organisation (ref.

Inception report - chapter 4.5) has to be considered to take into account the future
new operating means and to take advantage of this new environment. For instance
teams dedicated for real time operation, Post-operation analysis and operational
planning shall be created. It will be also the case for maintenance of
telecommunication, telecontrol, and computer for hardware as well as for Software or
Databases.
At last, just before to suggest a new work plan, the Consortium concluded (ref.
Inception report - chapter 5) that the A2 project is a real opportunity and suggests a
very strong cooperation between SPC and A2 in order to make the most of this
opportunity.
5 Organisation around unmanned substations

The very first consequence when a substation becomes “unmanned” is, that not any
person does stay inside during the day and the night. This obviousness leads that all
of daily tasks usually performed by substation operators have to be analysed in order
to define:
 How to execute it.
 At what time to execute it.
 What is the periodicity to execute it.
This analysis should allow distinguishing what has to be included in periodic visit and
what is linked with operating. Then, a specific document could be written in order to
describe all tasks to be performed during periodic visits. But, in any case, the very
first point on which it is important to work is security.
5.1 Security
As owner of unmanned substation, the Utility has the security responsibility around
this kind of substation.
5.1.1 People security

First of all the Utility has to ensure that not any person has to be able to come into
the substation. To do it, it is compulsory to check for each substation: doors, walls
and every possible access. All detected weakness shall lead the right adaptation
(reinforce a door, raise a wall…).
- In the same idea, a fire detection system (ref. - - Primary active power,
Primary reactive power,
Primary Current
Secondary active power,
Secondary reactive power,
Secondary Current,
Oil Temperature,
Winding Temperature,
Tap position (with D/A converter)
General purpose bay) could be installed as person detection and video monitoring
system (ref. 8.2.2 -
Video.
5.1.2 SPC teams security

It is assumed that all manager, engineer or technician going inside a substation shall
follow a minimum of security training. Moreover, no one can go inside a substation if
he is not empowered to do it. That means that a person having to come into a
substation shall have an official permit (an official document) describing his ability
and his mission.
Then the principle, for each authorised person coming into or going out such a
substation, is to inform the Control Centre in charge of the substation concerned. At
least, the procedure should be:
1. To call the operator to indicate the permit number, to describe shortly the job
and how long it will be.
2. To carry out the job.
3. To call back the Control Centre in order to inform the job is done.
The reason of this procedure is due to the fact that to monitor a substation the
operator has only the alarms list. When he notices an alarm such as “substation door
opened” he has to know if it is normal or not. During the intervention, he has to be
aware that a person is inside the substation. And when it is finished he has to know
the situation is normal again.
5.2 Visit for Operating Tasks

Several operating reasons can lead a visit of a substation. Hereafter some examples
for such a visit:
 HV and MV devices may be not motorised (e.g. earthing switch).
Consequently, it is necessary that a technician come into the substation to
manually operate such a device.
 In case of CB trip, it is necessary that a person comes into a substation in
order:
o To notice some possible damage
o To download protection relay records
o To begin the analysis of the fault…
 A substation and generally speaking a grid is living. That means substations
change (bay addition, transformer changing…) consequently databases into
RTU have to be changed to take into account these modifications.
 In case of transmission problems between RTU and SCADA, it is often useful
that a person comes into the substation to analyse, with a protocol analyser,
exchanges between both equipments.
5.3 Visit for Maintenance Tasks (periodic visit)

As said above, a specific document should be written to describe what is a periodic
visit. The main reason is simply to check security and the good “health” of the
substation. First, let us consider two types of visits: short and long.
5.3.1 Short visits

During short visits, it is not necessary that the technician come into the substation.
This visit can be called “security visit” and allows checking the perimeter of the
substation (state of walls, closed doors…).
5.3.2 Long visits

During long visits everything in the substation has to check:
 On the switchgear:
o HV Transformer, CT, VT, CB, Isolator…
o Cabinets, cables, poles…
o Reading of circuit breakers
o All places where snake, rats, mice, birds… like to build their house
o Cables for mice (mice love cables)
 Into the building
o Cubicles, cables, telecommunication and telecontrol equipments, battery,
light, paper for printer…
5.4 Periodicity
To conclude this chapter, it is important to note that only the analysis mentioned
above (ref. chapter 5 - Organisation around unmanned substations) will allow
determining which periodicity is the best for short and long visit.
6 Substations Works and Telecontrol

This chapter gives teleinformation plan, adaptation works, telecontrol and
telecommunication details, which are common whatever the final architecture choice.
The principle of its organisation is to describe which information have to be
transmitted (teleinformation plan), what kind of adaptation works that leads, which
type of standards should be used for the communication between Substations and
Control Centres but also within substations and finally which telecommunication have
to considered to communicate with substations.
The ultimate aim is to evaluate the cost.
6.1 Teleinformation Plan

Two kinds of data lists are considered in this chapter: 110kV and 22/35kV. The
110kV one was elaborated from A2 documents (ref. Attachment_2 -
MinimumStandardDatalist.xls). The 22/35kV one was elaborated from the previous
SPC SCADA Project and also from the A2 data list.
From the IEC (International Electrical Commission) “bay consists of closely
connected sub parts with some common functionality”. The following data list applies
this principle. For instance, an Over Head Line bay (line feeder) gathers the circuit
breaker, busbar isolators, the earthing isolator and associated alarms. The following
scheme shows which is applied in this document.

Thus this chapter describes, for each voltage level – 110kV or 22/35kV - and for
every type of bays, the complete data list. Afterwards transformer bay, general
purpose bay and telecommunication bay, which are common for a substation
whatever the voltage level, are described. The consecutive data quantities per
substations are given in annexe (ref. Annexe A: Sizing).
To design the following data lists, following options were considered:
1. All HV and MV devices are or will be equipped to be telecontroled.
2. Tap changers are considered as a part of the transformer bay.
3. All transformer measurements (primary or secondary) are a part of the

transformer bay.
4. There is not any Series Compensator.
5. There is not any generator to telecontrol.

6.2 Adaptation Works

Two aspects have to be taken into account, adaptation of HV devices and link
between HV devices and cubicles where equipments, like transducers and relays,
are installed.
Furthermore, to be able to telecontrol substation devices means these latter are
equipped for that. Consequently, switching devices have to be motorised and all of
bays have to be equipped with sensors and captors to gives status, measurements
and alarms.
Regarding motorisation, bays concerned are: Over Head line feeders, Transformer
Feeders, Shunt Compensator, Busbar Section and Tie. It is assumed that all of HV
devices are motorised. Thus, the list, which is given in Annexe (ref. Error! Reference
source not found.), only indicates how many MV bays should be motorised and
within which substation.
The next tables give a global price per province including:
 Cables, relays, transducers, terminal blocks and cubicles,
 Wiring between HV devices, transformers and marshalling kiosks,
 Wiring between marshalling and interface cubicles,
 Wiring between interface cubicles and RTU.
 Motorisation of all MV switching devices (where it has to be performed).
Next tables suggest two alternatives:

1. To do not take into account substations already equipped during “SPC MINI
SCADA PROJECT. That means to be equipped all of substations.
2. To do equip substations already equipped during “SPC MINI SCADA
PROJECT”

6.4 Telecommunication links between SS and Provinces

Whatever the selected SCADA architecture, the Operational Network to be
commissioned in the scope of the “SCADA Systems and 110 KV substations without
operators” project, could be split in two clearly separated parts:
 Links between Substations and PLDC and /or HVGB,
 Links between PLDC and/or HVGB and the Main SCADA at SPC Head Office.
The first part, the telecommunication Network between Substations and PLDC will be
always the same, whatever the selected SCADA architecture.
But the second part, the telecommunication Network between PLDC and Main
SCADA at SPC Head Office will depend on the SCADA architecture.
So, the following study, taking into account the SPC operational needs and the
outgoing Corporate Network project from the IT department, proposes some
alternatives for each part, Substation to PLDC and/or HVGB and PLDC and/or HVGB
to Main SCADA at SPC Head Office.
It also proposes some options, which are not included in the scope of this study.
6.4.1 Telecommunication Network between substations, HVGB and PLDCs
6.4.1.1 Optical fibre Architecture

As it is necessary to build a Telecommunication Network for the SCADA Project, and
taking into account:
 The compared cost of optical fiber and copper cable,
 The costs of rented links,
 The necessary availability of an Operational Telecommunication
Network for a SCADA system,
The best solution for SPC consists of building optical fiber links between all SPC sites
in each province (substations, PLDC, HVGB).
These optical fibers shall be single-mode optical fiber, each cable shall contained 12
(twelve) optical fibers, its installation technology shall be “F8” technology.
Whatever the SCADA architecture selected by SPC, the connection links between
substations and PLDCs and/or HVGB will be always built.
So, these links will be realised by using optical fibre as showed in the scheme below:

As it is compulsory for SPC to connect the 26 substations not currently connected to
the A2 Control Centres and according to the fact that SPC shall built an optical fiber
architecture for its own needs, two solutions are possible:
 The first solution is to extend the optical fiber architecture in order to connect
these substations to the A2 critical substations,
 The second solution is to connect the A2 Control Center to the SPC SDH
Network (this solution is described in the Chapter 8)

7 SCADA system implementation Alternatives

Generally speaking and everywhere over the world, telecontrol architectures,
telecommunication architectures but also operating organisation can be considered
as distributed, hierarchical or as a combination of both.
Distributed means everybody receives information at the same time whereas
hierarchical means that a first one receives or has the information and then transmits
this information to another one.
In the telecontrol field, distributed architectures are used between different Control
Centres without any hierarchical link but concerned by information located on the
area not under their responsibility but with a possible impact on their own. That is
typically the case between countries, regions, provinces, districts and so on. In the
other hand, hierarchical architectures are often used between sites managed by one
and only one entities, for instance a local control Centre and a Regional one.
Within a country there is a combination of both. Local Control Centres are under the
responsibility of Regional Control Centres, which are under responsibility of the
National Control Centre. Regional Control Centres exchange information between
each other as Local Control Centre between them. The SPC project is in this case.
Now, the data are the following:
 One SCADA system has to be installed in SPC head Offices,
 One SCADA system could be installed in each Provinces,
 Substations without RTU have to be equipped with one,
 Future RTU and those already installed shall use or have to use one link of
two to communicate with A2 Control Centre (meaning only one remains
available) (ref. Inception Report - Annexe 2 Questionnaire regarding A2
project – 1.5 RTU – item 4).
Thus, we have three kinds of sites: SPC Head Offices, Provinces and Substations.
As mentioned above, we are in the case of a combination.
Consequently the different architectures are the following:
 SCADA systems are installed in Provinces or not.
 Substations communicate with the SCADA in SPC Head Offices (MCC) or
SCADA in provinces (LCC).
The table hereafter shows all combinations:
LCC – SS LCC with remote LCC without

Table 14 - Possible Architectures
Consequently only three architectures can be studied:
A. The MCC SCADA system communicates with Substations and transmits
information to Provinces equipped with remote consoles,
B. The MCC SCADA system communicates with substations without any
communication to Provinces,
C. The LCC SCADA systems communicate with substations and transmit to the
MCC SCADA system,
The different architectures suggested in the Inception Report are the following:
1. One SCADA system per Province – case C,
2. One SCADA system in some strategic Provinces – case C,
3. One remote console connected to the main System within each Provinces –
case A,
4. One and only one SCADA system within SPC head offices – case B.
The second architecture is a variation of the first one but all the same is studied due
to the cost, which is quite different.
7.1 Analysis of SPC context and objectives

Before depicting the various SCADA architecture alternatives, it is worth discussing
and analysing SPC operating context and SPC objectives in the frame of the SCADA
project. The goal of this analysis is to elaborate on the viable solutions and
alternatives and to eliminate -on a justified basis- those, which are not worth to be
more deeply analysed.
7.1.1 Analysis of SPC and A2 operating context

110 and 22kV networks have definitely to be considered separately as far as
operation is concerned:
 110kV network is supervised by A2 and operated by SPC through the PLDCs
(SPC owns, manages the security accesses to the network and this latter
maintenance) in the frame of a dedicated entity gathering operators in the
primary substation and a maintenance team; A2 faces huge troubles in
network supervision since only few 110kV substations (approx. 30%) are
presently remote controlled. This drastically limits the network control and
operation efficiency. Moreover, this has a wide negative impact on SPC
network maintenance efficiency since the absence of supervision tool on A2
side does not allow to correctly evaluating the maintenance reconfiguration
schemes (from the security point of view). A2 SCADA project will improve this
situation provided the 110 kV network control is still devoted to A2 as it is
presently.
 22kV network is supervised and operated by SPC through the PLDCs, which
manage field crews and request operator teams manoeuvres in the 110kV
stations. Except in Can Tho, Da Lat and Vung Tau Cities, no SCADA facilities
are available yet in the provinces, rendering the 22kV network operation and
supervision uneasy and hardly efficient. In this frame, SPC SCADA project
initial objective is to remote control the 22kV part of the 110kV stations so as
to change them into unmanned stations. Due to the fact that this strategy will
only slightly participate in the 22kV network performance improvement (this
aspects is being discussed bellow in § 7.1.1.3) a complementary study has
been made so as to evaluate the opportunity (comparison of technical /
financial impacts vs. benefits) of remote controlling the reclosers on the 22 kV
network.
The difference in nature of the 2 networks (meshed participating in the feeding
security and somehow to the consumption/generation balance for the 110kV network
and radial for the 22kV network) implies different operation rules and practices, which
influence the network control.
For 110 KV network, the security assessment is the major objective while on the
22kV network, the continuity of supply is the essential goal. From this perspective,
there is a close connection between 110kV and 220kV networks supervision and
control. This fully justifies the existing EVN organisation that dedicates this task to
A2. The sustainability of this organisation is a must.
7.1.1.1 110kV maintenance

The splitting of 110kV network maintenance and control responsibilities between two
entities (i.e. SPC and A2 respectively) is worth to be analysed in a medium term
perspective:
 On the preventive maintenance domain, programs and actions are driven on
one side by data and statistics, which are totally under SPC, control until now
while on the other side A2 masters operating constraints. As soon as A2 and
SPC are equipped with a SCADA supervision tool covering most of the 110kV
substations, these SCADA will feed to a large extend and in a most efficient
manner the 110kV substations preventive maintenance programs inputs (data
and constraints).
 On the curative maintenance side, the implementation of the A2 SCADA
system will also decrease SPC role in the detection of failures;
 Concerning the evolutive maintenance, SPC owns the networks what
theoretically entitles SPC to master the relevant investments. Once the A2
SCADA in operation on the 110kV network, only A2 will master the line
constraints evolutions that shall initiate network reinforcement. This issue has
to be considered by SPC.
This will definitely conduct SPC 110kV branch to a specialisation in the maintenance
activity as far as 110kV networks are concerned.
7.1.1.2 22kV operation

As far as SPC SCADA project is concerned, SPC major objective is to remote control
the primary substations so as to change them into unmanned substations.
It is worth noticing that the benefits drown from SPC SCADA investment will depend
on its efficiency from the technical and economical viewpoints. Under “technical
aspects”, electricity delivery quality, network operation, assets management, network
planning and maintenance will be impacted by the implementation of the SCADA
system; while under “economical aspects”, operation and maintenance costs will be
influenced.
7.1.1.3 Technical analysis
1. Electricity delivery quality

In comparison with the present situation, the introduction of a SCADA system
supervising and controlling the primary substations (110/22kV) will allow SPC to get a
more “real time” overview of the 22kV networks operation. However this will
marginally influence the electricity delivery quality in terms of customers continuity of
supply and voltage quality. As shown on the following diagram, only a coordinate
control action on both primary substations 22kV feeders and remote controlled
switches spread on the network allows improving to a large extend the electricity
delivery Quality.

** RC: Remote Controlled;
*** 1.5 and 2.5 RC devices per feeder correspond respectively to the implementation of 1 RC
device at the feeder end (boundary switch between 2 feeders counted as a half for each feeder)
2. Network operation
The implementation of a SCADA system for the 22kV networks supervision and
control will improve the real time accuracy of the network overview and help to
coordinate field crews’ management. The knowledge of the measurements at the
feeder heads, along with the manual updates of the network topology (manual
devices on the network) and knowledge of network transits via DMS computation
functions, will help to secure the field crews actions (network reconfiguration actions
dedicated to works or restoration after outages on the networks) in a better efficiency.
The related improvement is mostly qualitative and cannot easily be quantified.
3. Assets Management
Through the SCADA implementation, the assets management quality will be
continuously improved due to the necessary substation standardisation imposed by
telecontrol adaptation and the accurate knowledge of MV network topology and
characteristics, which are a prerequisite to DMS functions implementation.
4. Network planning and maintenance

In these matters, the implementation of the SCADA system will have a positive
impact on the improvement of planning and maintenance activities since it will
increase loads and maintenance data reliability through an automatic storage and
archiving facility.
7.1.1.4 Economical aspects analysis and Evolution of operational costs

The introduction of a SCADA system along with unmanned stations will have two
opposite operational costs impacts:
 New expenses on one hand:
1. For maintenance: it will impose the setting up, within SPC, of:
a. A centralised SCADA maintenance team (3 engineers and 3
technicians) – this being the only proven way to guarantee the
SCADA related investments sustainability. Whatever the SCADA
architecture chosen (centralised, decentralised or mixed), the
centralised structure will deal with SCADA system first level
maintenance (diagnosis and repair via simple procedures i.e.
restarting or hardware modules exchanges either for RTUs,
telecommunication equipments and central system) and manage the
exchanges with the SCADA manufacturer for second maintenance
level.
b. A data maintenance team (2 people engineer or technician)
attached to each control centre;
c. A RTU and telecommunication maintenance team.
2. For network operation: a group of operators shall be set up (6 operators on
24h shift +6 on 14h in a centralised organisation, 6-7 operators in 24h shift
in a decentralised organisation);
3. For the Control System Management; a management team (manager,
deputy manager, group of 2 “works preparation engineers in a centralised
organisation, manager and deputy manager in a decentralised
organisation);
 Reduction in costs on the other hand:
For primary substations operation: suppression of the relevant teams (around
700 people to be reallocated – their skills being appreciated for the new
related SCADA operation jobs); Due to the status of SPC personnel, these
costs reduction will only be effective on medium and long terms (10-20 years)
while the expenses increase will be immediate and hardly balanced.
7.1.2 The organisational factor and its impact on SCADA Architectures

Taking into account SPC willingness (expressed in the TOR) to deploy decentralised
Control Centres (in the provinces) along with a centralised supervision entity in
HCMC headquarters, the consortium feasibility study focussed on the viable
architectures matching SPC needs and those, which might have an interest for SPC.
In this concern architectures viability is mostly governed by the satisfaction of a

security rule that imposes at all times - on a specific area - that a unique Control
Centre is in charge of network control.
Considering this latter intangible rule, SPC requirements and the possibilities offered
by the actual technology (performances and capacity), following organisations would
be possible:
i) MCC has a supervision role only, PLDCs have a control role on their province
at all times,
ii) MCC has a back up role from the control and system point of view for one or
several PLDCs in case of crisis and/or PLDC System failure; apart from this
situation, PLDCs have a control role on their province at all times,
iii) MCC has a supervision role only, selected PLDCs (so called Major PLDCs)
have a control role on their province at all times and take over the control of x
neighbouring PLDCs (called “Sub” PLDCs) at definite moments (i.e. at night,
week ends and/ or during major events) as well as in emergency situations
(loss of one neighbouring PLDC),
iv) MCC has a back up role from the control and system point of view for one or
several Major PLDCs in case of crisis and/or Major PLDC System failure;
apart from this situation Major PLDCs have a control role on their province at
all times and take over the control of neighbouring PLDCs at definite moments
(i.e. at night and/ or during major events) as well as in emergency situations
(loss of one neighbouring PLDC),
v) MCC has a control role for the entire network at nights, week-ends, during
crises and/or PLDC System failure, PLDCs have a control role on their
province during daytime on the normal working days,
vi) MCC has the control of the entire network at all times; PLDCs have a
supervision role only (i.e. via web accesses),
vii) MCC has the control of the entire network at all times; PLDCs have a
supervision role only (i.e. via web accesses) one PLDC location houses a
back up site for the MCC.
These are the major feasible alternatives, several sub-alternatives of each of them
can also be thought but without structuring impact. Therefore, these later seven
alternatives only gave rise to an efficiency analysis scrutinising their respective
advantages and drawbacks and their global viability.
The result of this analysis is to be found in following table (see next page).
The following table gathers the various possible organisations and analyses their viability.

Table 16 - Organisation Suitability Analysis
7.3 Telecontrol Protocols

This chapter gives some basic information regarding telecontrol protocols, which are
named throughout the following lines.
Two kinds of protocols are usually used for a telecontrol network: to exchange
between Substations and Control Centres and to exchange between Control
Centres. The 3 following protocols: 60870-5-101, 60870-5-104 and TASE.2 cover this
type of exchange and are mostly common among utilities. This chapter gives a brief
description using the OSI 7-layers (physical, link, network, transport, session,
presentation, and finally application).
Note: That there is also a specific companion standard for integrated totals (the 102) but
very little or not used and a specific companion standard for the interface with
protection equipment (the 103). Both based on the same series as the 101 regarding
formats and transmission rules.
7.3.1 IEC60870-5-101
This protocol is officially born in 1995. It is called point to point because it defines the
transmission over serial links. In fact, the 101 is the visible part of the standard that
consists of 5 base documents (60870-5-1.5), which specify the structure of frames
and data to the description of the fundamental exchanges. If we compare this
protocol to a language that has a lexicon, grammar and conventions, we could say
that grammar and conventions are described in the first documents and the 101
document describes the specific lexicon for telecontrol.
From OSI point of view, only layers Link (60870-5-1 & 2) and application (60870-5-3
& 4) are covered by the standard.
It allows the transmission of all information required for telecontrol, which mainly
means signals, measurements, counting, commands and setpoints. There are also
elements supporting the management of transmission: timing, test command and the
ability to transfer files and set.
7.3.2 IEC60870-5-104
This protocol is a porting of 101 for a communication network based on TCP/IP.
Thus, the two first documents, 60870-5-1 & 2 dedicated for the link layer, becomes
useless.
He almost offers the same features as the 101; almost, because TCP/IP. In fact,
TCP/IP is non-deterministic, that means we know when we send a message, but it is
hard to say exactly when it will reach the relevant device. In telecontrol, this presents
some difficulties, especially regarding telecommands. It is clearly unthinkable that an
operator in an emergency situation, sending an order to open or close a circuit
breaker, waits quietly until the telecommand wants to arrive. This would call into
question the interest of using a telecontrol network expected to provide reliability and
reactivity essential to operate a power grid.
To overcome this non-determinism the 104 adds some specific information for
communication from the Control Centre to sites. The characteristic of these
information is to be time tagged. Thus, when the RTU receives them it can check if
the information is still on time and can be transmitted to the HV device. This
obviously implies a perfect time synchronization; other point to which the 104
companion standard advises the implementation of mechanisms other than those
originally used for the 101.
This non-determinism leads also that the clock synchronization procedure defined in
IEC 60870-5-5 cannot be used (ref. IEC60870-5-104) because the link layer
according to IEC60870-5-2, which provides the exact time of sending the clock
command, is no longer available. But this synchronization is more than useful.
Consequently, there is a necessity of installing clock synchronization receivers or
similar equipment in each substation.
7.3.3 IEC60870-6-503 alias TASE.2

It is completely independent of the communication medium and is based on the OSI
application layer. Communication with the lower layer is managed by MMS and
ACSE also located on the application layer. It was also designed to transmit all types
of information: signal, measurement, command, setpoint, counting, events, reports,
accounting data, load shedding plan, producer walking program. It can also remotely
manage executable program, transmit information sampling (typically from protection
relay). All these facilities are described in 9 blocks. Note that only block 1, 2, 5 and 7
are really necessary for telecontrol needs.
The principle of communication is quite different from that described for the two
previous protocols, it is called "Client Server". This means that any exchange starts
by sending a request from the client. A first communication, real contract, between
the client and the server is used to define the information to be transmitted but also
the method of transmission (exception, periodic...). It even offers the opportunity to
hot redefine conditions of transmission but also the data transmitted.
Without going into details of the TASE.2 working, we note that the principles on which
it relies involve a total independent with the SCADA system. This no-adherence
explains the ability of this protocol to communicate between heterogeneous systems.
That is the reason why this protocol is is universally required for the transmission
between Control Centres.

7.4.1 One SCADA system per Province (SCADA Architecture 1)

This architecture corresponds to the “organisation” architectures i), ii), v) depicted in
the previous chapter.
With this architecture the main SCADA system located into SPC offices is supplied
by provincial SCADA themselves supplied by RTU located into 110kV substations
under their responsibility (ref. Figure 5).
The failure of one of the provincial SCADA systems will have a limited consequence
on the province’s MV network control capability: only the relevant province MV
network control and monitoring will be unavailable. The 110kV network monitoring
and control of the said province would still be possible (if designed so) on the MCC
SCADA system via the TASE 2 link.
Therefore, considering the low occurrence rate of such a SCADA system failure and
its limited consequence, as shown above, the consortium would not recommend to
implement a backup system neither for the provincial SCADA systems nor for the
MCC SCADA system.
None “back up” has thus been considered in the SCADA Architecture 1 technical
description nor in the relevant cost estimation.

7.4.1.1 Functional Issues

This paragraph analyses the functional impacts of the architecture on the SCADA
system.
All the SCADA manufacturers present on the market master the relevant architecture,
therefore, due to a potential enlarged competition, SCADA costs would be kept at a
low level for each system (SPC will above that beneficiate from a purchase “quantity
effect” that will definitely decrease the individual costs- since all the systems will be
similar). In a first step and due to the fact that only the primary substations and not
the MV network will be remote controlled, the relative “easiness” of control operation
does not require the implementation of elaborated isolation and restoration DMS
functions. However, the return on investment being essentially linked to the MV
network automation level (via remote controlled facilities), SPC will necessarily have
to invest on network automation and consequently on fault location and restoration
functions on the medium-long term. Therefore it is advisable in this case to pre-select
only the bidding manufacturers among those, which might propose these functions,
so as to be sure of their integration possibility.
In addition, Computation function on the network could optionally be implemented so
as to help the operator to build the works and outages reconfiguration schemes more
efficiently. This option will be worth to be firmly requested in order to increase the
performance of control efficiency.
This latter option estimated cost will be around 50,000 USD per Control System site.
In any case, a full description of the MV network operated is worth to be integrated in
the SCADA systems so as:
 To enter in a virtuous circle of data quality improvement that will guarantee the
system sustainability and a global improvement of the Distributor efficiency,
 So as to be sure of the possible management of high quantity of network
descriptive data and guarantee the further integration of the highly demanding
DMS functions in this concern,
 So as to improve works management efficiency and further implementation of
WFM (Work Force Management Tools in a near future or as an option in the
early tendering phase)
In addition to the conventional SCADA functions, the efficiency of WFM would also
be achieved via the integration of following functions:
 SMS exchanges with field crews
7.4.1.2 Control Systems characteristics and Sizing,

It is advisable, to specify a wide integration of standards (IEC, TCP/IP, Linux) within
the control systems architecture so as to ensure its sustainability (this is true for all
the various architectures) .
On top of this “basic requirements, the following shall prevail in the hardware and
software architectures:
 Duplicate Ethernet LAN (preferably separated for process and operator
positions)
 Linux or eventually Windows (in case the manufacturer proves its perfect
handling of Microsoft OS over a long period of time) servers (or a mix of both)
 Linux or Windows workstations
 2 - 3 monitors ((2 as long as the MV network is not automatised; preferably 3
as soon as remote control facilities are implemented on the MV network)) per
operator workplace; moreover
 Redundant SCADA servers (so as to achieve a “reasonable reliability level
for this type of architecture)
 Standard real time APIs
 Standard CIM interfaces
Sizing concerns
Due to the fact that the life expectancy of a control system is around a decade
(10years)-(the life expectancy corresponding to the commonly admitted average
return on investment duration for control systems) the system shall be sized so as to
cover at least the network increase within the next decade with an additional margin
of 50% so as to ensure good performances throughout the system life.
7.4.1.3 Telecommunication
In this SCADA architecture, as a SCADA system is installed in each PLDC, the RTU
links are directly connected on the Provincial SCADA Front End. Consequently,
Telecommunication concentrators are not necessary.
Exchanges aspects
The Telecommunication Network has to take into account the necessary exchanges
between:
 RTU located in Substation and SCADA systems in PLDC,
 SCADA systems located in PLDC and the Main SCADA system located in
SPC Head Office,
 SCADA systems located in PLDC and the SCADA systems located in
neighbour PLDC, to exchange bordering information.

Table 19 - MV Option Costs - Architecture 1
Following assumptions have been made:
- Reclosers only shall be remote controlled since most of the LBS are not
motorised.
- 80% of the 795 existing reclosers will be easily adapted to remote control via the
connection of RTUs or SCADA adaptation cards, the 20% left will for some of
them (around 5%) necessitate the replacement of the Control cubicle or the
implementation of specific I/O cards allowing for teleindication retrieval.
- Considering the telecommunication architecture allowing the connection of the
reclosers RTUs or SCADA modules, two alternatives are possible:
1. GPRS the easiest and less expensive one,
2. A mix of GPRS and optic fibre when the F8 network is available in the
vicinity of the Reclosers. In this latter case, the architecture reliability will
slightly increase while the price will considerably increase due to the fact
that it imposes the building of an IP network.
Considering the above, the second alternative has not been taken into account in
the detailed quotation of the alternative
7.4.2 One SCADA system in some strategic Provinces (SCADA Architecture

2)
This architecture corresponds to the “organisation” architectures iii), iv) depicted in
As previously, with this architecture the main SCADA system located into SPC offices
is supplied by provincial SCADA themselves supplied by RTU located into 110kV
substations under their responsibility (ref. Figure 6). Only the final number of PLDC
changes. The PLDCs where SCADA systems are implemented are called “Major
PLDCs. In order to cope with SPC requirements to keep a control capability in all
PLDCs, remote consoles can also be implemented in each PLDC.
The failure of one of the “Major” provincial SCADA systems will have an impact on
the MV network control capability of 4 provinces what is not negligible. To overcome
this situation in the most efficient manner (technically and economically), each
SCADA could be sized to twice its “normal” capacity so as to take over the control of
the zones connected to the Provincial Telecom concentrators of the lost SCADA.
This solution requires duplicated telecommunication links from each Provincial
Telecom concentrator to Two Major provincial SCADA systems or alternatively to one
Provincial SCADA and the MCC. This latter solution would be easier to implement
(due to the existence of the Fibre optics communication links) but would require
additional routers. Globally, the securisation of SCADA architecture 2 would
represent 25% of the cost of the “basic” depicted architecture.

system.
The same general considerations apply as for the previous architecture, i.e.: all the
SCADA manufacturers present on the market master the relevant architecture,
therefore, due to a potential enlarged competition, SCADA costs would be kept at a
low level for each system (SPC will above that beneficiate from a purchase “quantity
effect” that will definitely decrease the individual costs- since all the systems will be
similar). In a first step and due to the fact that only the primary substations and not
the MV network will be remote controlled, the relative “easiness” of control operation
does not require the implementation of elaborated isolation and restoration DMS
functions. However, the return on investment being essentially linked to the MV
network automation level (via remote controlled facilities), SPC will necessarily have
to invest on network automation and consequently on fault location and restoration
functions on the medium-long term. Therefore it is advisable in this case to pre-select
only the bidding manufacturers among those, which might propose these functions,
so as to be sure of their integration possibility.
So as to improve works management efficiency and further implementation of WFM
(Work Force Management Tools in a near future or as an option in the early
tendering phase)

The same considerations apply as for the previous architecture, i.e.: it is advisable, to
specify a wide integration of standards (IEC, TCP/IP, Linux) within the control
systems architecture so as to ensure its sustainability (this is true for all the various
architectures).
positions)
 2 - 3 monitors (2 as long as the MV network is not automatised; preferably 3
as soon as remote control facilities are implemented on the MV network) per
operator workplace
The specificities of this architecture are as follows:
3 monitors would be preferable in the “Major PLDC” as well as a large screen
(whose size might be over 90 inches) so as to help decision making during crises.
The same (large screen) would apply for the MCC, in this latter case at least 2
screens of this size should preferably be available.
Sizing concerns
cover at least the network increase within the next decade with a margin of 50% so
as to ensure good performances throughout the system life.
Compare with the previous architecture, there is not fundamental difference. As
SCADA systems shall not be installed everywhere, the Telecommunication Network
shall take into account the necessary implementation of concentrators to replace the
SCADA Front End.

This architecture is fundamentally different from those here above mentioned. Not for
the main SCADA system located into SPC offices but for PLDDs. In fact, this
architecture replaces PLDDs SCADA system with remote consoles (ref. Figure ). In
this case, the SPC SCADA located in head office is supplied by RTU located into all
of 110kV substations under SPC responsibility.
Due to the essential role of the SCADA system, the securization of this architecture
with a backup system located in another site is a must. The back up system has thus
been included in the basic architecture.

Less SCADA manufacturers present on the market master the relevant architecture –
specifically an efficient Web interface fitted with all the necessary securities (access
control, intrusion blocking mechanisms, secured exchanges, etc.) -compared with the
2 previous architectures; since this architecture really correspond to the state of the
art of SCADA systems, therefore, due to a potential reduced competition, SCADA
individual costs would be slightly higher than for the 2 previous architectures without
any possibility for SPC to beneficiate from a purchase “quantity effect”.
The rest of the considerations are kept unchanged, i.e.: in a first step and due to the

Figure 10 – General Operational Telecommunication architecture

Depending on the selected SCADA architecture, the needed telecommunication links
and equipment between each PLDC and the SPC Head Office will be different:
 Concentrators in each PLDC if not any SCADA systems is installed,
 Large bandwidth links (2 Mbit/s) for the Remote Consoles if any,
 Small bandwidth links (64 Kbit/s) for the exchanges between SCADA systems.
Depending on the SPC selected SCADA architecture, the needed links will be the
following:

Architecture 3 NO YES (1) YES (1)
Architecture 4 NO NO YES (1)
Table 31 - Necessary Links depending on the different Architectures
To build this Operational Network, two alternatives are possible by:
 Using leased links from a Telecommunication Operator,
 Building a SPC private Network.

Hereafter, the two alternatives are described and compared.
8.1.1 Network based on leased links

This solution consists in renting leased links from a Telecommunication Operator. In
this solution, the main advantages are the limited investment and the facility to
spread out the Network.
As A2 is also using Telecommunication Operator services to build its links between
RTU and the SCADA system located in Ho Chi Minh, the Telecommunication
Operator must certify that the A2 and SPC links do not have mutual paths in order to
guarantee the backup between the A2 and SPC SCADA systems.
8.1.2 SPC SDH Network

This solution will consist for SPC to build its own Telecommunication Network, based
on SDH technology.
In this solution, the main advantages are the optimisation of the SPC investments
and of the SPC staff skilled expertise.
As A2 is using Telecommunication Operator services to build its links between RTU
and the SCADA system located in Ho Chi Minh, SPC is able to guarantee the
separate paths for the connection links between the different parts of its
Telecommunication architecture and so, to guarantee the back-up with the A2
system.
To build the SPC SDH Network, it is necessary to install:
 Optical fibres between Provinces and SPC Head Office,
 A SDH equipment and Concentrator in each PLDC or HVGB site,
 A SDH equipment and Concentrators in the SPC Head Office and in the Back-
up site,
That is shown hereafter:

Optical fibre
As only a few optical fibers currently exist, it shall be necessary to install new optical
fibers in order to build the optical fibre Backbone between all PLDCs or HVGBs and
the SPC Head Office Control Center and Control Center Backup site.
Hereafter, the SPC optical fibre backbone is draft:

According to the needed bandwidth in each SCADA architecture (a maximum of 4
Mbit/sec for the Remote Consoles architecture), a STM-1 (155 Mbit/sec) technology
is sufficient.
Besides, the needs for operationa land corporate Telecommunication Networks from
the IT Department has also to be taken into account, thus:
 STM-4 (622 Mb/s) will be used between PLDCs or HVGBs & SPC Controls
Centers and A2 Control Center,
 STM-16 (2,5 Gb/s) will be used between SPC Controls Centers (Main &
Backup).
A Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) has also to be installed in order

to provide:
 Configuration,
 Control and Supervision,
 Alarms management,
 Handling of information,
 Logging and maintenance hardware,
 Logging and maintenance software.

8.2 Telecommunication Options

It is a matter of fact that the main purpose of this study is to build an Operational
Telecommunication Network for the remote control but, taking into account our
experience in the Telecontrol field and the possibilities offered by the large bandwidth
of the optical fibre used, some options can also be suggested:
 Operational Telephone Network,
 Video-surveillance,
 Tele-metering,
 Electricity Quality Monitoring,
 …
8.2.1 Operational Telephone Network:

To secure and optimise the phone communications between the Telecontrol sites
(substations, PLDC, SPC Main SCADA), direct phone lines shall be installed. These
direct phone lines shall be connected on specific PAX and shall be strictly reserved
for operational communications.
According to the SPC SCADA selected architecture, the number of PAX to be
installed will change from one (1), located in the SPC Head office to twenty one (21),
One in the SPC Head Office and one in each of the twenty PLDC.
A dedicated phone of this operational telephone network will be installed in each
substation and another one near each Dispatcher SCADA workstation, to allow
phone calls in case of out of order of the RTU or of out of order of High Voltage
devices.
As this Operational telephone network shall be clearly separated from the SPC
Corporate telephone network, you shall always be sure to establish a call
communication between the Dispatching(s) and with the substations.
A voice recorder is often associated to this operational phone network and is used to
determine, for example, the reason of false operation following a phone order on the
electrical network.
8.2.2 Video Monitoring System

As almost substations will be in a next time without operators, it could be interesting
to keep watch on these sites. A solution is to install a Video Monitoring System in a
dedicated site and cameras on strategic points of each substation.
The Video Monitoring System shall fulfil with the following main objectives of:
 To enable monitoring of substations assets from remote,
 To monitor all the major equipment in the switchyard,
 To monitor the entry/exit at the main gate, Control Room and switchyard gates
of the substation,
 To get an alarm in case of an event, motion detection,
 User definable hierarchal control,
 Monitor and control of the entire VMS including client/licenses from remote
assets management centres,
 To enable live, near real time viewing, recording of images of all selected
cameras,
 The recording of the cameras will be a local substation level. The operator at
Control Center shall, on demand, be capable of viewing live streaming as well
as recorded at remote end,
 To monitor the switchyard patrolling by Security Guards
8.2.3 Tele-metering
As it is possible to download the data from all new equipment (protection,
metering…), it would be interesting to have dedicated and secured lines for these
operations.
Presently, all new protection devices allow the transfer of data to specific servers for
analysis, for example.
It is the same for all metering equipment.
8.2.4 Electricity Quality Monitoring

To monitor the Voltage sacks and Harmonics, it is very interesting to download the
files issued from the protections.
8.2.5 Technical solutions:

To provide the necessary links for these options, different solutions are available:
 Electrical/optical converters for each application,
 Concentrators (Mux),
 TCP/IP network,
8.2.5.1 Electrical/optical converters

Optical/electrical converters can be used for video-surveillance and telemetering but
not for the phone.
A phone has specific needs: 48 V DC to be energized, 80 VAC for the ring and to
establish a call. Some information as the dial has also to be transmitted to the PAX.
Presently, we do not know phone dedicated interface converter on optical fibre.
If SPC chooses to install only video-surveillance and/or telemetering, it will be
possible to install only optical/electrical converters. In this case, the cost will
decrease a lot:
Tele-metering
Video-surveillance
(1 per substation)
Number 104 104
Cost ($) 1,000 1,000
Total ($) 104,000 104,000
Table 39 - Video Surveillance and Telemetering Costs
The cost is given for only a Tele-metering link. If SPC will need more links, additional
optical/electrical converter will be installed.
With this solution (optical/electrical converter), the main disadvantage is the use of 2
fibres of the optical cable for each application: According to the number of fibre in the
optical cable in each substation, you will saturate the optical cable for applications,
which do not need high bandwidth.
8.2.5.2 Multiplexors
In this architecture, a multiplexor is installed in each Substation and each HVGB.
Furthermore, this equipment allows the connection, through the adapted interface
card of different applications:
 Phone interface,
 Ethernet interface,
 RS XXX interface
 ….
These multiplexors are directly connected on the SDH equipment located in the
PLDC. The investment would be the following:
Multiplexor
Number 124
Cost ($) 30,000
Total ($) 3,720,000
Table 40 - Multiplexor Cost
In this architecture, SPC will have only a SDH Network with:
 SDH equipment with integrated Multiplexor in each SCADA and PLDC sites,
 Remote Multiplexor of the SDH Network in each Substation and HVGB,
The main advantage of this solution is to have only a Telecommunication Network for
all Operational and Corporate needs. Indeed, this technology implies the following:
 guarantees the critical time transmission delay,
 offers a high quality of service (QoS), suitable for Utilities Telecommunication
needs,
 offers sufficient flows for Utilities Telecommunication needs,
 offers administration facilities,
 offers flexibility for the evolution of the network with future projects,
 is a skilfully technology, used for more than 15 years,
 has a continuity of manufacturing spare parts for more than 20 years by a lot
of telecommunication manufacturers.
The main disadvantage of this solution, except the high cost, is that more and more
applications are based on TCP/IP protocol for Operational needs (for Corporate
needs, all are based on TCP/IP protocol). Thus, we will have to add switches and
perhaps Routers in each Substations and this architecture will be very similar to the
proposed architecture with Routers.
Another disadvantage of this solution is that, for few applications to be connected, we
will install a multiplexor with at minima 30 X 64kb/s channels in each Substation and
HVGB.
8.2.5.3 TCP/IP Network

A. IP Presentation
The main goal of network layer (the layer 3 of the OSI model) is to route the
data through the network.
Presently, the protocol use in the whole world is the Internet Protocol (IP).
The Internet Protocol (IP) is a data-oriented protocol used for communicating
data in a packet-switched network. It is a connectionless protocol. (each
packet of data is transferred independently into the network).
Data issued from an upper layer protocol are encapsulated inside packets with
the addresses of the sender and the receiver and go into the network, which is
composed of different kinds of links and routers.
The principal advantage of the Internet Protocol is that this protocol can be
used over a heterogeneous network (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Token-ring, ATM…) and
it makes no difference for the upper layers.
IP provides a connectionless (or unreliable) service: IP is a “best effort”
delivery. This means that the network makes no guarantees about the packet
and none, some, or all of the following may apply:
 Data corruption,
 Out of order delivery (Given packet A is sent before packet B but packet
B can arrive before packet A),
 Duplicate arrival,
 Lost or dropped/discarded packages.
In terms of reliability, the only thing IP does is ensuring the IP packet’s header
is error free through the use of a checksum. This had the side effect of
discarding packets with bad headers on the spot, and with no required
notification to either end.
To address any of these reliability issues, an upper layer must handle it. For
example, to ensure in-order delivery the upper layer may have to buffer data
until it can be passed up in order.
The most used is TCP (Transport Control Protocol).
To route the data in the network, all terminal equipment need an IP address.
In an IP network, the equipment in charge of routing the data is a router.
A router is a computer with a wide variety of LAN (Local Area Network) and
WAN (Wide Area Network) port technologies or other connections that are
customisable.
Routers connect two or more logical subnets, which do not necessarily map
one-to-one to the physical interfaces of the router.
To route the data in the network, the routers needs a routing table. This
routing table could be static, dynamic, or a mix.
Often, the construction of the routing table is made from knowledge of the
up/down status of its local interfaces, from hard-coded static-routes and from
exchanging routing protocol information (Open Short Path First, for example)
with other routers. Routers do maintain state on the routes in the routing table
but not on individual packets that have been forwarded. The principle of the
router is “transfer the packets and forget them”.
To connect all applications installed in the substations to the PLDC and the
SPC Head Office, another solution is to use the TCP/IP protocol. This protocol
allows the merging of all applications installed in the substations.
If the applications installed in the substations are not natively working in
TCP/IP protocol, it is possible to install gateway.
To build a TCP/IP Network, it is necessary to install Routers over the
Transmission Network (SDH Network in our case).
A Router will be installed, at minimum, in:
 Each SCADA site (MCC and Back-up),
 Each PLDC,
 Some PLDC and Substations, according to the optical architecture.
The sizing of the Routers will depends of the location site.
The number of Gateway to be installed in each SCADA site will depend of the
security level SPC needs.
Concentrators (Switch) will be installed in each site and their number will
depend of the capacity of the provider’s equipment and also of the security
level SPC needs.
Gateway will be installed in each Substation for RTU and their number will
depend of the capacity of the provider’s equipment and also of the security
level SPC needs.
A Router Management and Administration server has to be installed to monitor
and administrate the Routers.

Architecture
As the applications to be connected are not high in Substations and HVGB, this
solution is efficient. The SDH technology with its advantages (ref. chapter 8.2.5.2 -
Multiplexors) will be used for the Backbone (links between PLDC and SCADA sites).
The main advantages of this solution are the cost and the possibility to connect
immediately all applications using the TCP/IP protocol. As now and in the future,
more and more applications natively proposed this protocol on ETHERNET LAN, this
architecture is adapted to the SPC needs. The estimated cost of the TCP/IP Network
will be the following:
Router Gateway Switch TMN
Number 90 124 + (30) 124 + (60) 1
Cost ($) 3,000 400 1,000 120,000

Lump Sum ($) 650.000
Table 41 - TCP/IP network Costs
Remarks: In this solution, the cost of an operational phone network could be
estimated to 100.000 $, including:
 An IP PAX in each SCADA site,
 A call recorder in each SCADA site,
 A phone (with its gateway if classical phones are provided) in each substation,
each HVGB and in the maintenance sites,
8.2.6 Options comparison

According to the fact that the use of Electrical/optical converters is not a good
solution because it does not allow the connection of phone system in the substations
and will saturate the optical fibre cable if more applications will be deployed, the
comparison is limited to the Mux and TCP/IP network:

8.2.8 New Substations Connection to A2 through SDH Network
Rather direct optical fiber links between the 26 SPC substations and the critical A2
substations, it is possible to use the SPC SDH Network to connect these mentioned
substations to the A2 SCADA. This solution consists in installing aSDH Equipment in
the A2 Control Center premises as shown below.

9 Training
9.1 Principles
The training can be divided into two separate parts: operating and maintenance. The
operating training allows learning how to operate an electrical network throw a
SCADA system. The maintenance training allows learning how to install, to configure
and to maintain SCADA, Telecommunication and Telecontrol equipments.
Generally speaking SCADA manufacturers propose these 2 kinds of training.
9.1.1 Staff requirements

SPC’s personnel chosen to operate the electrical grid or to maintain SCADA,
telecommunication or telecontrol equipments should have a Bachelor or a Master of
Science or an equivalent.
9.1.2 Operating training

To operate an electrical network requires having some scientist bases, electrical
skills are not compulsory. Thus, SPC’s personnel shall be chosen beyond those with
such a background.
9.1.3 Maintenance training

Technologically speaking, SCADA systems, telecontrol or telecommunication
equipments today are closer and closer. All of them use computer system.
Consequently, SPC’s personnel shall be chosen, in preference order, with the
following education:
1. Industrial computing
2. Electronic,
3. Electrotechnic.
9.2 Maintenance training

9.2.1 General
The training should comprise in both theoretical and practical training courses and
allow trainees to:
 detect failures and repair by detecting failing cards and replacing with spare
cards (SCADA, telecommunication equipments or RTUs),
 perform routine maintenance on substations equipment (DC systems,
acquisition and transducers, etc.),
 further integrate in the SCADA system (hardware and software) new facilities
required by development of the power system e.g.:
 modification of data base,
 generation of VDU image/display and reports,
 modification of data routing,
 addition of complete RTU and of all new interfacing equipment in

substations,
 addition of localised modules to the SCADA application.
As particularly concerns SCADA, manufacturers should provide software training
courses that enable SPC's software staff to be self-sufficient to maintain the SCADA
software. They should be as follows.
Software administration
This course should include training in:
1. Software backup and restoration procedures.
2. Modifying, testing, and installing application software in the real-time
environment.
3. Installing software updates provided by the manufacturer or third party
software suppliers.
4. Using the software configuration management tools.
5. Maintaining and archiving software source code.
6. Maintaining software and database documentation.
Database, Displays and Reports

This course should cover generation and maintenance of the database, displays and
reports. It should include:
1. The understanding of the SCADA database structure and the software
required for database generation and modification.
2. The handling of procedures for database generation and maintenance,
including those for adding, deleting, and modifying points, point types, RTUs,
communication links to remote data sources, data tables, and power system
model components. The course shall also cover database organization for
application data.
Programming
This course should cover programming, assembling, compiling, editing, debugging,
testing, integrating, and documenting programs, subroutines, and I/O handlers
written in all programming languages supplied with the SCADA.
Application Software
Courses should provide in depth training on the design and operation of all SCADA
application programs, including data acquisition, data exchange, data processing,
user interface, electric system monitoring and supervisory control and all special
applications.
Also, this course should include a detailed discussion of each application program, a
detailed description of its uses and capabilities, input and output data parameter.
System Hardware
The courses should provide hardware personal with a theoretical background and
hands-on experience in installation, preventing maintenance, troubleshooting, repair,
and expansion procedures.
General
Manufacturers should supply all the required documents: texts, diagrams, schemes,
description of the operation of circuits, etc.
Manufacturers should also suggest on-the-job training at their factory (outside
Vietnam) for system software, DMS applications and databases. Such on-the-job
training should consist in the inclusion of some of the SPC’s software Engineers in
the manufacturer’s development team for a period of several months, so as to enable
them to get the software maintenance skills described above.
On-the-job training is normally provided all along the various stages of the
construction of the database on site, through the active participation of Engineers in
the process.
In the same idea, other subjects as SCADA hardware and all other systems should
be a possible on-the-job training session during installation and commissioning of
equipment.

9.2.3 Specific telecommunication and telecontrol training

Regarding telecommunication and telecontrol, manufacturers’ courses proposal
should include the following:
 Specific telecommunication needs for Electrical Grid.
 Optical Fibre.
 SDH and PDH multiplexing equipments and compliance.

 TCP/IP equipment (router, switch, gateway, firewall, ...)
 Telecontrol, teleprotection and telephone aspects

 Operating management (local/remote),
 Protocol choice (which protocol for which context),
 Standard protocols (103, 101, 104, TASE.2…),
 Interoperability,
 Teleinformation (types, using…),
9.3 Operation training
9.3.1 General
The operation training allows operators to be able to:
 use a modern Control Centre for the operation of a electrical network,
 manage particularities of the control system delivered in the scope of the
contract.
9.3.2 Contents of the courses
9.3.2.1 Courses and visits

This part of the training is aimed at familiarising the operation staff to the varied
equipment they will use when operating the new control system, SCADA as well as
DMS functions. Manufacturer can also suggest visits at power utilities in order to give
to the operators more comprehensive understanding of the use of the system.
9.3.2.2 On-site training

In addition to the previous training, sufficient additional courses should be organised
on site, mainly regarding the use of Distribution Management System.
9.3.2.3 Estimation of the number of Manager, Engineers and technician
Operating
If the SPC operating organisation leads to have 40 local Control Centres (20 PLDCs
and 20 HVGBs) with on-shift organisation for each of them, then the number of
managers, engineers and technicians for 1 Control could be:
 21 on-shift operators,
 6 off-shift operators (planned operating tasks, post-mortem analysis…),
 4 managers (3 for on-shift teams, 1 for off-shift team).
Note: off-shift operators are considered only for Head Office where the SCADA
is located.
Maintenance
Regarding the number of manager, engineer and technician for maintenance, the
SCADA system will need: 4 engineers or technicians, 1 manager. Into Provinces to
maintain substations equipments it is estimated that 20 engineers or technicians and
5 managers should be enough.

11 Economic and Financial Analysis

As power systems grow in size and complexity so do the problems of coordination to
meet the basic objectives of costs, reliability, quality and safety. Control centres play
an important role in the achievement of these objectives because they are the main
means of coordination of system operation and above all the major source of real
time data of the utility IT system.
Economically speaking, it is a usual practice to evaluate such a project by the
economic quantifiable benefits that it offers to the Utility. Thus, this study is based on
comparing the project benefits and costs during the life expectancy period of the
control System. This analysis scrutinizes the whole of the project during its life
expectancy and consequently the total cost of the project. Benchmarks worldwide on
this issue show that control systems life expectancy is around ten years, i.e. covering
the period from 2015 to 2024 (considering a commissioning date beginning in 2013).
The study is made using four methods:
 Payback period
 Net Present Value (NPV)
 Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
 Benefit/Cost Ratio
In the case of a Power Distribution Company, the quantifiable benefits come from
reduction of technical losses and energy not served. But there are other benefits,
which are less obvious to quantify even if their influence on the distribution utility
performance is huge, those regarding information management and globally
organisation.
This chapter first describes these different benefits then gives basis used for
calculation and finally presents the results of the analysis. As the control of 22kV
devices was not planned at the very beginning of this project, both cases, with and
without, have been studied.
11.1 Expected Benefits

Usually, the benefits expected by a Telecontrol system are:
 Reduction of staff
 Improved staff training
 Reduced maintenance cost
 Reduction of technical losses
 Reduction of Energy not Served (Reduced losses on account of faster
restoration of power in case of outages)
 Better information for Management
 Organisation improvement
These benefits come mainly from the SCADA system. Actually, it allows operators to
identify the location and the reason for faults in the electrical grid. It gives to
operators all means to telecontrol switch devices. Moreover, the SCADA system
generates a large amount of information on the day-to-day operation of the grid,
which helps to prevent faults, to improve network reinforcement schedule and to
better plan preventive maintenance.
11.1.1 Staff reduction

The first principle of a SCADA system is to supervise and remotely control HV and
MV devices located in substations. This SCADA system allows Utilities to reduce
staff especially in substations. That is the case for this project, which according to the
Terms of Reference will allow a reduction of about 1070 staffs in 110kV substations.
To operate and remotely maintain 104 substations, 1016 people are required by
SPC.
Considering the 480 people who presently work in the 20 PLDCs, the project will lead
to a staff reduction of 534 persons (1070+480-1016). The following table indicates an
average cost for one person:
Items Individual monthly cost Individual

(VND) monthly cost ($)
Salary including tax 8,255,000 393

Yearly individual cost 153,120,000 7,290
Yearly total reduction cost (534 people) 81,766,000,000 3,892,860
Offsetting these staff reduction savings are two staff-related costs:

 The first is that the 534 people that would be reduced will need retraining for
other fields. That retraining cost is a one-time cost, unlikely to be more than
six months of salary. Once retrained, and reassigned to other useful jobs,
there is no further cost chargeable to the SCADA project. These training costs
are estimated to 50 % of the yearly staff costs. This training cost is to be
allocated during the implementation period according to the fraction of the
project complete.

Training individual cost (6 months Individual cost) 76,545,000 3,645
Training total reduction cost (534 people) 40,875,030,000 1,945,430
 The second cost relates to the 1,016 people who remained, some of whom will
command higher salaries given that their jobs require greater skills. This is
indeed an ongoing increased cost. This increase in salary is estimated to 15%.

Individual increase in salary (15%) 22,980 1,094
Yearly total increase in salary (1016 people) 23,347,680 1,111,504
11.1.2 Improved Operator Training

Operator training simulators are available today. The use of simulator provides basic
training in the functions used daily by operators is ideal. The opening/closing of
breakers, tap changing of transformers, etc. can be simulated without affecting the
status/security of the actual power system. Network analysis training will also be a
guarantee a higher level of understanding of the power network features. Through
training and simulation exercises, operators will have the confidence to act decisively
and correctly in real emergency conditions.
11.1.3 Maintenance
Any mechanical system gets old and becomes susceptible to malfunctions. Whatever
it is too much or underused, the rate of use of a device is an important indicator
especially from the preventive maintenance viewpoint. In fact an apparatus
underutilized, an isolator for instance, can cause mechanical troubles, oxidation of
status contacts and make doubt regarding the integrity of the transmitted status. In
the same way, the vibrations caused by a device often used can provoke problems
with wiring especially with connected terminations going up to disconnection and
therefore the loss of information.
A SCADA system continuously collects data regarding components of the network
(e.g. circuit breaker meter).
These statistical data regarding switching devices facilitate maintenance planning,

fault prevention and, by the way, reduces maintenance costs.
11.1.4 Outages
In case of outage, it is necessary to:
 Detect the fault
 Limit its effect on the network
 Correct it in order to bring back a normal situation
SCADA system gives operators the possibility to locate and to indentify the fault.
Then to restore by remote control the supply of the network healthy portions and
finally to dispatch in the most efficient manner the field maintenance crews to the
right location (which reduces the global “repair” downtime). Finally, the SCADA
system reduces the time to solve an issue on the network consequently reducing the
Energy Non Served.
11.1.5 Technical losses

SCADA system permits real-time optimisation of network flows and more efficient
maintenance scheduling, consequently reducing the technical losses. Even though in
percentage (and GWh) terms this loss reduction may be quite small, the benefits can
be substantial.
11.1.6 Unserved Energy

SCADA system gives operators immediate information on the location and type of
fault, permitting maintenance crews to be more efficiently dispatched, resulting lower
repair downtimes, and hence reducing the amount of unserved energy lost during
outages.
11.1.7 Better Information Management

SCADA systems contain facilities to retrieve data required for preparation of reports
and "time tagging" of events for post mortem analysis.
These reports and data are the essential source of real time data of the utility and
participate in the improvement of:
 Utility global performance via the production of reliable indicators for the utility
management
 Network reinforcement investment schedule via constraints detection and
equipment aging signs identification
 Consolidation of middle and long term planning studies
 Reporting quality to customers regarding their supply
 Work force management
 Trouble shooting maintenance, helping operational staff in verifying that
protection equipment operated correctly in response to a fault
 Preventive maintenance
11.1.8 Organization improvement

Establishment of a control centre means that during the implementation phase most
operation, planning and monitoring functions are critically reviewed. This often means
a complete reorganization of the entire organization that in the long run will result in
more efficient power system operations.
Technology transfer will assist the Utility in future attempts to rationalize and improve
operations by using computer technology. The experience and technology transfer
that will be achieved in a Control Centre project increase the ability to receive new
technology.
11.2 Basis of the analysis

11.2.1 Telecontrol System Technical choices
The assessment of the total cost of the retained solution integrates the following
options:
 Telecontrol and Adaptation Works
All 110kV substations and 22/35kV substations not already equipped by the
mini-SCADA previous project have been considered.
 SCADA
The Architecture 3 so called "One remote console connected to the main
System within each Province" has been chosen meaning a SCADA located in
SPC head office supplied by RTU located in all of 110kV substations under
SPC responsibility. A remote console is connected in each PLDC and
communicates with the main SCADA.
Note that the highest level of costs incurred for SCADA system was chosen in
the proposed range of prices.
 Telecommunication
The option chosen consists in the implementation of a SDH network with a
TCP/IP technology. This option presents the advantage to answer both
telecontrol and corporate needs and to give optionally the possibility to install
video surveillance, telemetering and telephone systems over IP.
 Training
Taking into account the total cost of the project, the training cost is estimated
at 5% of the global price.

11.2.2 Calculation data
The change rate used for all calculations is:

1 USD = 21,000 VND
The following tables indicate which data have been used for calculations:
According to WB data Data

BST (Bulk Supply Tariff using for financial analysis) 2013 1,065 VND/kWh
Consumer Tariff 2013 1,265 VND/kWh
According to Energy practices Data

Rate of energy losses 5% of the global energy sold

11.2.2.1 Calculation data without increased of salary for employees remaining

on the SCADA system
The yearly staff reduction cost is:

11.2.2.2 Calculation data with increased of salary for employees remaining on

the SCADA system
And also higher salaries for employees involved in the future operating organisation
(15%):

Individual increase in salary (15%) 22,980 1,094
Yearly total increase in salary (1016 people) 23,347,680 1,111,504
Therefore, the yearly reduction cost is:
Cost (VND) Cost ($)

Total Increased Yearly individual Salaries (15%) 23,347,680,000 1,111,504
(1016 employees)
Total cost reduction from staff 58,418,320,000 2,781,356
The period for analysis is:

2013 to 2025
Regarding ENS, the estimation uses an extrapolation of data coming from SPC.
The total energy sold, for these 10 years takes into account the data from SPC and
considers the huge increase of the last years:
8% /year
The consumer tariff for these 10 years takes into account the data from SPC and
considers an increase equivalent to the Vietnamese inflation Rate:
7% /year
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) used for the Financial and
Economical Study is:
6% /year
Regarding the reimbursement, the terms of payment are based on usual WB

practices and follow these assumptions:
Year Reimbursement rate (%)
2013 35
2014 50
2015 15
11.2.3 Calculation of the payback period

The method to calculate the payback period is:
Project cost
Payback Period =
Average of Cashflow (from 2015 to 2025)
11.2.4 Calculation of the Net Present Value (NPV)

The method to calculate the Net Present Value is:
N  N = 10

Cn  n = time
NPV = =
(1+r)n  Cn = the net cash flow at the time “n”
n=0
 r = discount rate
11.2.5 Calculation of the Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

The method to calculate the Internal Rate of Return uses the same formula as the
NPV. The IRR is “r” when NPV = 0. Thus, the formula is:
N  N = 10

Cn  n = time
NPV = = n = 0
(1+r)  Cn = the net cash flow at the time “n”
n=0
 r = discount rate
When NPV = 0, then IRR = r.
11.2.6 The Financial Net Present Value (FNPV)

Following usual WB practices, the Financial Net Present Value focuses on the cash
flow taking into account benefits and staff reduction cost. In the context of this
project, benefits considered are only the reduction in distribution losses as well
energy not supplied. Then the Net cash flow using to calculate the FNPV equals to:
Financial Net cash flowyear = Cost of losses + Cost of ENS + Cost reduction from staff reduction –
Investment cost
11.2.7 The Economic Net Present Value (ENPV)

The difference between financial and economic analysis is that this latter does not
take into account staff reduction cost and, also following WB practices, focuses only
on benefits and investment costs. Then the Net benefits using to calculate the ENPV
equals to:
Net benefitsyear = Cost of losses + Cost of ENS – Investment cost

11.2.8 Calculation of the benefit/cost Ratio

The benefit/cost ratio compares the total expected costs against the total expected
benefits. In the context of this project, that means:
Total benefits
Ratio =
Total of investment cost
11.3 Economic and financial study with control of MV devices

Taking into account data previously described, results from the financial point of view
are the following in 2025 (10 years after the beginning of the Operation Time of the
SCADA):
 Payback period = 8.29 years
 FNPV = 1,119,659 M VND

11.4 Economic and financial study without control of MV devices

The only data having to be adapted is ENS reduction rate, which is considerably
reduced, can normally be assessed at 5% instead of 25% (ref. chapter 11.2.2 -
Calculation data and Figure 4 - SCADA implementation strategy influence on
electricity delivery quality). The results are the following in 2025 (10 years after the
beginning of the Operation Time of the SCADA):
From the financial point of view:
 Payback period = 30.35 years

13 Consortium Recommendations
This study allowed scrutinising all issues of the “SCADA SYSTEM AND 110KV
SUBSTATIONS WITHOUT OPERATORS” project: substations adaptation,
telecommunication, SCADA Architecture and consequent organisation. Each item
was carefully analysed in order to find the best choice for SPC whatever technically,
organisationally and financially.
13.1 Technically
13.1.1 Substations adaptation

It is a matter of fact that all primary substations will have to be adapted. Most of HV
level of the substations are taken into account by A2 (ADB Phase 1 & 2 Projects),
SPC keeping the remaining substations. Regarding the MV level of the substations,
which is entirely under the SPC responsibility, all feeders shall be adapted for
telecontrol. For substations, meaning 244 MV devices, motorisation will be
necessary.
The communication between RTU and SCADA shall use the IEC 870-5-104 standard
protocol even though A2 SCADA communicates with RTU in primary substations
using IEC 870-5-101.
13.1.2 Telecommunication
The Telecommunication Network is a very important part of a telecontrol system.
Without secured links between substations and Control Centres, the Electrical
network monitoring becomes difficult but the controlling and consequently the
operating makes extremely uncertain or even impossible. So, it is preferable for a
company as SPC to own and to manage itself its telecommunication Operational
Network. By mutualisation of investments for Corporate and Operational Networks, it
is possible for SPC to build this Network.
The Consortium suggests implementing an SDH network based on an optical fiber

architecture with a TCP/IP technology in order to use it for telecontrol and corporate
needs but also to allow the video surveillance, telemetering and telephone systems
over IP.
13.1.3 SCADA architecture

After a first analysis of the operating organisation the Consortium suggests four
alternative architectures.
Architecture 1 (One SCADA system per Province)

With this architecture the main SCADA system located into SPC offices
communicates with provincial SCADA systems, themselves communicating with
RTUs located into 110kV substations under SPC responsibility (ref. Figure 5).
Architecture 2 (One SCADA system in some strategic Province)

Very close to the previous one, the main SCADA system, still located into SPC
offices, communicates with provincial SCADA systems, themselves
communicating with RTUs located into 110kV substations under SPC
responsibility (ref. Figure 6). Only the final number of PLDC changes in this
Architecture. The PLDCs where SCADA systems are implemented are called
“Major PLDCs”.
Architecture 3 (One remote console connected to the main System within each Province)
This architecture is fundamentally different from the two above mentioned
alternatives, not for the main SCADA system located into SPC offices but for
the PLDCs. In fact, this architecture replaces PLDCs SCADA system with
remote consoles (ref. Figure ). In this case, the SPC SCADA system located in
the head office communicates with RTUs located into 110kV substations under
SPC responsibility.
Architecture 4 (One and only one SCADA system within SPC head offices)
This architecture is quite similar to the previous one. But in this case, there are
no remote consoles communicating with SPC head office (ref. Figure ). It is the
simplest architecture.
The Consortium recommends the third architecture, which meets the SPC telecontrol
needs at the lowest cost and which is the most flexible solution in terms of adaptation
capability. All types of control organisation (i.e. centralised, decentralised or mixed)
can easily be implemented with architecture 3 ensuring its sustainability for SPC.
13.1.4 MV Devices Control

The benefits of MV Devices Control are an improved reliability for SPC and for the
consumer.
For SPC, there are two main consequences of poor reliability due to the MV Devices
Control:
 The loss of revenue when consumer’s supply is interrupted (easily quantified
as the kWh not served, less the corresponding purchase cost at the BST).
 The cost of finding and fixing faults (not taken into account in the Financial &
Economical Study)
The project should include the control of 22/35kV devices.
13.1.5 Organizational
EVN recommends putting in place 1 operating team (24/24) within each PLDC and
also within each HVGB. The first one should normally operate the MV network
whereas the second one should be in charge of the 110kV substations. Regarding
SPC head offices, EVN recommends to put in place one operating team to only
monitor during the day the grid under the SPC responsibility.
From the Consortium point of view, the most efficient organisation would be to
centralise one operating team (24/24) within SPC head offices and to monitor and
operate the MV network and 110kV substation from this only one site. Moreover,
even if this latter organisation might be considered as a middle term objective, the
implementation of provincial SCADA at a first stage shall lead to a modification of
EVN rules so as to merge PLDC and HVGB responsibilities in the PLDCs. This latter
recommendation is indispensable to follow in order to avoid security and efficiency
drawbacks for network control.
Regarding the maintenance of substation equipments (RTU, Adaptation equipments

as transducers, relay and so on…) the Consortium recommends to deploy 5
maintenance teams leading 1 team for 4 provinces.
