ICCP Adapter Overview
The Oracle Utilities Network Management System ICCP Adapter integrates the Oracle Utilities Network Management System with a remote SCADA system through the Inter‑Control Center Communications Protocol (ICCP). The Oracle ICCP adapter does not directly speak ICCP, but instead interfaces to a Live Energy Connect 3rd-party ICCP server using proprietary APIs, which then interfaces to the SCADA system that supports the ICCP protocol.
Note: The Oracle ICCP Adapter requires the use of a Live Energy Connect Server that must be separately licensed from Oracle. For additional details on the Live Energy Connect Server, please refer to Live Energy Connect documentation.
ICCP is a standard interface protocol that can be used with Oracle Utilities Network Management System to provide data exchange with remote and local SCADA systems. ICCP is also an international standard: International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Telecontrol Application Service Element 2 (TASE.2).
ICCP allows the exchange of real-time and historical power system monitoring and control data, including measured values, scheduling data, energy accounting data, and operator messages. Data exchange can occur between:
• Multiple control center Energy Management System (EMS) systems
• EMS and power plant DCS systems
• EMS and distribution SCADA systems
• EMS and other utility systems
• EMS/SCADA and substations
