The load dispatch center monitors and controls the power system to ensure reliable power supply. It collects data using a SCADA system and oversees elements like generators, transformers, and transmission lines. The load dispatch center performs economic and secure operation of the power system, and works to restore power lines after faults. It is responsible for functions like load forecasting, outage monitoring, voltage regulation, load scheduling, and coordination between grids.

3.  WHAT IS LOAD DISPATCH CENTER?
THE LOAD CENTER IS THE CENTER WHICH PERFORMS
DISPATCH AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS TO ENSURE
CONTINUTIY AND QUALITY OF POWER SUPPLY TO THE
CONSUMERS. ALL THE MODERN LOAD DISPATCH CENTER
USE THE SCADA SYSTEM (SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND
DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM) FOR MONITORING AND
COLLECTING THE SYSTEM DATA. THE FUNCTIONS OF THE
LOAD DISAPTCH CENTERS INCLUDE THE SUPERVISORY OF
THE SYSTEM ELEMENTS LIKE GENERAOTR, TRANSFORMER,
TRANSMISSION LINE ETC. OF THE INTERCONNECTED
SYSTEM.
THE LOAD DISPATCH CENTER ALSO PERFORMS THE
SECURITY AND ECONOMIC OPERATION OF THE POWER
SYSTEM. IT IS ALSO USED TO RESTORE THE NORMAL
FUNCTIONIG OF THE POWER LINE AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE
AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF THE FAULT.
