Method for handling the switching commands of manual switching operations in supply networks

摘要

The invention relates to a method for handling the switching commands of manual switching operations in supply networks, managed by means of network control centres, for electricity, gas, water and the like. In the case of this method, for the purpose of fully automatic control of the entity authorised to switch during the handling of switching commands by the network control centre, the location of the entity authorised to switch is automatically determined on site, before carrying out the switching operation, by means of a GPS [global positioning system] receiver, incorporated in the entity authorised to switch, and communicated to the network control centre. This automatic, error-free and non-manipulable position identification of the entity authorised to switch by the network control centre forms the basis of an automatic identification of the switching device and enables the control of the entity authorised to switch without any intervention from the network control centre personnel, the automatic updating of the process image as well as simultaneous automatic logging in real time, solely by means of process software.
