Distributed Control Systems (DCS) are dedicated systems used to control manufacturing processes that are continuous or batch-oriented, such as oil refining, petrochemicals, central station power generation, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage manufacturing, cement production, steelmaking, and papermaking. DCSs are connected to sensors and actuators and use set point control to control the flow of material through the plant.
The most common example is a set point control loop consisting of a pressure sensor, controller, and control valve. Pressure or flow measurements are transmitted to the controller, usually through the aid of a signal conditioning input/output (I/O) device. When the measured variable reaches a certain point, the controller instructs a valve or actuation device to open or close until the fluidic flow process reaches the desired set point.
Large oil refineries have many thousands of I/O points and employ very large DCSs. Processes are not limited to fluidic flow through pipes, however, and can also include things like paper machines and their associated quality controls (see quality control system QCS), variable speed drives and motor control centers, cement kilns, mining operations, ore processing facilities, and many others.

- This paper shows an approach for designing a
system which implement a microcontroller-based control module
that receives its instructions and commands from a cellular phone
over the GSM (Global system for mobile communication)
network. The microcontroller then will carry out the issued
commands and then communicate the status of a given appliance
or device back to the cellular phone.This device allows a user to
remotely control and monitor multiple home/office appliances
using a cellular phone. This system will be a powerful and flexible
tool that will offer this service at any time, and from anywhere

SCADA at the core of power systems monitoring and control
Power systems monitoring requires increasing amounts of information coming from multiples sources, manually or automatically, and at different
points in time, each with their own resolution and quality.
SCADA collects all this information in real time to:
• Process in terms of validity, usability, and accuracy and store them for future analysis.
• Combine into a flexible, simple or complex calculation.
• Provide operators and other control systems with flags and alarms, which are valuable for action and control.
• Feed advanced applications such as network security and generation dispatch.

Within data parameters, phasor measurement units generate a huge flow of points due to high scanning resolution (1ms). SCADA can now
integrate phasor data.
SCADA: the critical block for EMS
SCADA is the core of any monitoring and control system.
This is where all information captured from the
field via manual reading, automated control systems
in substations and power plants, and from other control
centers is processed in real time before being
made available for further analysis and action by operators.
Without SCADA running, EMS and operators
have reduced network vision and cannot operate at
full capacity. SCADA reliability is built-in by design
with one or multiple redundancy levels to ensure
100% availability.
Incorporating WAMS technology for
increased awareness and network
flexibility
Traditionally, SCADA receives data points scanned at
1s or higher resolution depending on communication
bandwidth and local scanning capabilities such as RTU,
a substation automation system, or a power plant
control system. The latest WAMS technology, under
deployment for the last 10 years, has reached a level
of reliability and performance enabling it to manage a
large number of phasor measurement units (PMUs) data
scanned at 1ms from thousands of PMUs implemented
across the network. Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC)
and PhasorProcessor are also now part of the SCADA
solutions GE offers to its customers.
Coupling existing EMS applications with a Phasor
application inside an Advanced Energy Management
System (AEMS) unlocks additional network flexibility
in terms of blackout prevention and network power
capacity required as intermittent renewable generation
grows.

1. NetTrax™
Customer Experience Solution
Why not optimise…through your subscriber’s eyes?
2. What the NetTrax Solution provides?
Application on handset reports events affecting subscriber
experience
Dropped Calls, No Service, Failed Setup, CSSR, Call Drop Rate, Erlang etc
Allows operators to gather data from subscribers handset
Potentially turn thousands of regular subscribers into drive test engineers
GPS Data Provides Exact Location of Event
Supported handsets internal GPS logs location, speed and bearing of event
Application is invisible to subscriber
The users experience is not compromised in any way as application runs silently in the
background and does not affect any handset functions. Minimal impact on handset battery life
due to application design.
Application can be loaded OTA, via download or pre-loaded
Networks can decide how to deploy the solution and target specific subscriber groups as
required (Prepaid, Contract, Staff Only etc)
3. An Agent is loaded onto a supported subscribers handset which logs
information about events that negatively effect subscribers experience
When an event occurs such as an abnormal call termination, the GPS
coordinates, serving cell, signal strength etc is captured and sent to the
NetTrax event processing server via SMS
All these events are correlated and plotted on top of a Google Map based
interface allowing trends to be detected that would otherwise require
intensive network drive testing
As the exact location is known, as
well as the radio environment at
the time of the event, the
problem can easily be reproduced
and ultimately corrected
Once a correction has been made
(Configuration change, Parameter
change etc), the effectiveness of
the change can be validated by
monitoring the problematic area
within the tool. Once the trend
for the failure changes the
correction is seen as successful
4. The diagram
illustrates the typical
event capturing
process flow
Handset captures
“heartbeat” statistics
such as CSSR, CDR,
ERLANG etc per

– Data available in specific components and areas of the tool (Typically reports and mapping
bubbles etc)
– Requires moderate customisation
3. Light Integration
– User is redirected to 3rd party tool or database via context sensitive links
– Data available in limited components and areas of the tool (Typically mapping bubbles)
– Requires minor customisation
16. Benefits of the NetTrax Solution
Reduction of CAPEX and OPEX
Significantly reduce the time to perform network fault analysis / drive
testing / benchmarking
Perform focused drive testing campaigns on NetTrax identified problematic
areas
Corrective action can be taken to resolve problems in the network before
they are raised by customers
Improve customer experience and reduce churn by providing feedback on
complaints and improving network quality
Consolidated view of faults across an organisation (Reports and access to
faults logs can be supplied directly to network staff if required)
Can be used to benchmark competitor network quality
Have visibility of customer perceived quality
Integrate to existing tools and processes to streamline the fault resolution
process and reduce the time taken to implement corrective action
17. NetTrax will reduce your Opex
Traditional drive testing involves capturing hours and hours of data yet only analysing very
small portions of this data surrounding network faults – NetTrax will locate problem areas and
allow a focused effort when drive testing which translates into a direct cost saving
Lower cost of ownership
NetTrax with 1000 activated
users will provide you with over
30 000 hours of active network
monitoring in a year if each
user makes 5 minutes worth of
calls in a day versus only 4000
hours of monitoring using 2
drive test teams dedicated 8 hrs
a day to drive testing.
In addition to just gathering the data, traditional drive test information will still require post
processing to actually determine what faults occurred and where they occurred before further
action can be taken – NetTrax returns only the specific area and fault
NetTrax runs 24/7, anytime a loaded handset is logged onto the network - drive testing is
generally only performed during office hours
When used efficiently, NetTrax should reduce the costs traditionally associated with drive
testing by a minimum of 30% whilst providing a greater volume of usable data.
18. NetTrax vs Drive Test Case Study
South African Operator – Based on live data and real figures
Current cost of drive testing – R180 per hour (Conservative estimate including cost of
vehicle, staff, fuel and equipment)
Operator has 75 handset NetTrax Test licence
NetTrax users generate on average 35 minutes of phone calls per day and highlight on
average 2.7 network problems per day
In a year, that equates to +- 16 000 hours of network analysis and will highlight +- 70
000 network faults
Cost for drive testing to achieve 16 000 hours of analysis is +- R2,9 Million
Operator achieved a 72% cost saving by using NetTrax, even though NetTrax provides
more usable data.
As a result, the operator is in the process of reducing its drive testing budget by +-
40% for the coming year, and will focus drive testing efforts in the areas highlighted
by NetTrax
If you extrapolate the figures and increase the NetTrax number of handsets, the
saving/value ratio improves exponentially as NetTrax licensing cost becomes lower as
number of active handsets increase.
19. Example Business Case – Reduction of Complaints
Example for an Operator with 10m subscribers
Propensity to Complain:
• 1 complaint for every 2500 setup failures
• 1 complaint for every 100 voice call drops
Network statistics:
• 10M Subs each making 100 calls on average/Month = 10m x 100 = 1B Calls per Month
• Call Drop Rate measured on network is 2.5%
• Call Drop volume = 10M x 100 x 2.5% = 25M Dropped Calls
• Based on PTC = 1 complaint for every 100 drops = 250 000 complaints at Call Center
• Each complaint costs approximately US$ 1.00/Min * 3 Min per complaint
• US$ 3.00 x 250 000 = US$ 750 000/Month cost at Call Center on Dropped Call Complaints
• Cost for Drive Testing = US$ 100 000 /Month
• If we assume a 7.5% saving on Customer Care and 30% on Drive Testing only
• Year on Year saving from CC & DT by implementing NetTrax = US$ 1 M (approximate)
*** Improved network quality will increase the subscriber use of the network and reduce
churn. This will automatically equate into higher revenues for the Operator ***
