East Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC) has awarded Open Systems International (OSI) a contract to replace and upgrade its legacy supervisory control and data acquisition/energy management system (SCADA/EMS) system with OSI's monarch (Multi-platform Open Network ARCHitecture) technology.
EKPC is a not-for-profit generation and transmission (G&T) utility that provides wholesale energy and services to 16 distribution cooperatives through power plants, peaking units, hydro power and more than 2,800 miles (4,506 km) of transmission lines. In an effort to upgrade and modernize its expansive membership cooperatives' G&T infrastructure, EKPC has elected to replace its existing SCADA/EMS system, with OSI's monarch platform. The new SCADA/EMS system will be based on OSI's next-generation Microsoft .NET based graphical user interface and will include several of OSI's advanced application products for G&T control.
