Conceptual characteristic features and prospects for the development of information technologies at the Zagorsk pumped-storage power plant

Conclusions

• 1. Newly developed information-management systems should specify the existence of a single information space for the entire establishment, which encompasses both technology and administrative-economic activity.

• 2. The core of the computerized portion of the system developed should be formulated on the basis of more expensive, but more reliable specialized computers.

• 3. Automated support for analysis, assessment, and forecasting of activity both for the establishment on the whole, and also its individual structural parts or forms of production equipment is a promising trend in the development of information-management systems.

• 4. Experience gained at the Zagorsk pumped-storage power plant relative to the loading of a generalplant information-management system based on an ACS TP indicates that modern software and hardware and methodological developments available in the field of information technology make it possible, even now, to implement the concept of an intelligent system for support of decision making as a higher level of organization of a single information space for optimal execution of the basic function of a power plant—the generation of electric power in conformity with the dispatchers curve.
