Network Computing Terminal as an Intelligent Information Terminal for Power Systems

Abstract The IT has been progressing rapidly, and all devices can be connected to networks, in order to realize anytime and anywhere computer-supported environment. In such situation, we propose the architecture of NCT (Network Computing Terminal) as an information terminal for power systems, and show some application examples. The NCT exactly acquires the phenomenon generated in power systems as digital raw data, edits it autonomously, and cooperates with other NCTs or PC servers if necessary. It can be applied for broad uses, such as fault analysis, measurement of power quality, and remote maintenance servicing.
