Fayetteville PWC — Enterprise SCADA Migration

A system-wide move from a legacy SCADA platform to Inductive Automation Ignition, spanning roughly 25–30 substations and every T&D switching device.

Project overview

We’re migrating the electric utility at Fayetteville PWC from its existing ACS SCADA platform to an Inductive Automation Ignition system that gives the utility more direct control and eliminates long-term subscription costs. The project spans the entire electric system — roughly 25–30 substations plus the transmission and distribution switching devices across the service territory.

Stations are cut over one at a time while the old and new systems run in parallel, so operators never lose visibility. The new platform adds a historian, SMS and email alarm notification, and a calendar-based dispatch scheduler that lets operators charge and discharge the utility’s Tesla and NEC battery systems around peak periods.

Highlights

  • Enterprise-scale SCADA design and deployment for an entire utility
  • Cutover planned so operators never lose visibility of the system
  • Custom dispatch scheduler for utility-scale battery storage
  • Substations, line switches, generation, and storage unified on one platform

Working on something similar?

We’re glad to talk through a project at any stage — including the ones that are still just a one-line on a whiteboard.
