ENEL Distribución Perú S.A.A. (EDP) has deployed a private cloud-based computing platform for its grid control system engineering functions, simultaneously implementing new functionality as part of this deployment. The new architecture also enhances cybersecurity. Operational efficiency has been improved by providing remote engineering access for operational staff and removing their burden of managing the associated OT infrastructure. Grid reliability improvements are anticipated as a result of improved availability of fault data and an enhanced ability to manage device configurations. The utility plans a tighter integration of ADMS and Work Management data on the cloud infrastructure as next steps in the deployment.
