Resilience of dispatch telephony system

Our society today is dependent on a reliable supply of electricity so that sustained failure in the power system would have an impact on the economy and on public safety to a much greater extent than ever before. The power system dispatchers are entitled for power system control and operators for power system operation. So, a network of dispatchers and operators is operating the most complex engineering system ever built, the electric power system. The system operator, or dispatcher, is responsible for the safe, reliable and economic operation of his or her part of the national electric power system. As part of this job, circuit breakers and switches are operated to control voltage, direct power flows and permit routine maintenance, and a number of these devices across the country are switched each day either remotely by the dispatchers or locally by field personnel under the operators’ commands. By the nature of the job, these people are the most visible when something goes wrong. The effects of their mistakes are immediate and potentially costly. The most serious consequence of an error by a system operator is the death or injury of a person working in the field. Less serious mistakes can ruin equipment worth hundreds of thousands of euros and cause loss of customer load or localized blackouts that affect thousands of people.
