KCP&L Capacitor Communications Timeline
(significant to DA history)
Tropos (12-14)
~90% of capacitors are automated, reducing
FlexNet (2014)
need for time-based maintenance.
Telemetric Public Cellular (Analog, 2G, 3G)
Cellnet 2-Way (ends 2015)

KCPL DA Communications
Three DA Communications Infrastructures
prior to Project


Cellnet
(retired 8/15/2015)

Sensus (formerly Telemetric) Public Cellular

Sensus Flexnet – Private Cellular
TROPOS wireless mesh was piloted in a SmartGrid Demo, but not
selected for enterprise deployment.

KCPL DA Communications History

Various one-way pager pilots – 1980’s

CellNet early 1990’s

Metricom/UtiliNet radios – mid 1990’s

Commercial Analog Radio – rural applic 2001

GPRS 2G Public Cellular – 2006
(Retires 2016)

GPRS 3G Public Cellular – 2011

TROPOS – Piloted in SmartGrid Demonstration

FlexNet – early applications – 2014

In-use today.

DSO Dispatcher Systems
Prior to
OMS-Phase-II D-SCADA-Lite
Separate Interfaces complicate life in the DSO
(Distribution System Operations).
Operators did NOT get consistent look & feel

KCPL Distribution Platform Consolidation
EMS OMS
DSO Dispatcher Systems
TODAY with D-SCADA-Lite
 Winmon Retired 8/15/2015
 Sensus Website still available as a Backup (Heavy Engr use)
 Desire to Integrate EMS to OMS for Breaker Status
Now Operators get consistent look & feel
