Multispeak
Brazos Electric Power Coop
We have three CGA Systems with Multispeak 3.0 installed and
running. Each of these systems has an individual Link to different Milsoft
systems. They all have Links to the Milsoft OMS System. One of them have
points in the dataset for the Engineering Analysis system sharing the same
Link as the OMS although I don’t think they ever did anything with those
points. We are passing the Breaker Lock-Outs and Fault Currents for the
OMS links. We are passing Volts, Amps, and Power for the Engineering
Analysis
Keys Energy Services
We get bus voltage and breaker status, for now. I would like to have a scada
multispeak handles the breaker reclosures. Currently multispeak only sends
a close to OMS

Multispeak
Bristol Virginia Utilities Board
Yes we do have the Multispeak application on our scada system. Currently
we only integrate with OMS, which is the Milsoft Dispatch system. We send
our breaker status for all of our feeders to OMS to predict the whole circuit
out upon receiving the open status from scada
South Kentucky
Using Multispeak to integrate CGA Scada and Trimble (UAI) OMS
information. They are transferring breaker lock-out information from
scada to OMS and use that to predict sections of outages in OMS caused
by that breaker. This way, they can know what customer will be without
power before they call in and inform the customer that they are aware of
this
