Generally, SCADA, AGC, and any EMS software updates should go through multiple lower environments before getting into a production environment. Even critical patches would spend a little bit if time in a lower environment prior to production.

- generatorguy 7y agoAre there lower AGC environments ? The document concluded they need to test more but I imagine there is just one AGC per system operator. BC hydro, fortis, BPA, PGE? AGC just balances power flows so imports/exports over interconnections between power authorities flow as scheduled right?
- 7thaccount 7y agoYeah it depends on the system operator, but I know some do for sure. In a test environment you might still receive the same input SCADA data, but could have entirely new calculations running. It's just that those calculations aren't sent anywhere.
- BunsanSpace 7y agoIf my SCADA work is anything, it goes on a demo/staging area for a week then is deployed, in 90% of cases. It's rare for an org (and usually only very large heavily regulated government orgs) do full testing on new builds.
- csense 7y agoI would assume controlling GW of power generation would be a very large, heavily regulated org...
- 7thaccount 7y agoIs your stuff for a system operator or single generator?
