Smarter Dispatch for Smarter Grids: AVCiT's IP-Based KVM in the Power Sector

1. Introduction

As the energy sector moves toward smarter and greener grids, dispatch centers are facing new challenges. Operators now need to manage more data, oversee more sites, and handle greater complexity while keeping everything running smoothly around the clock.

Smart grid projects have expanded and national energy strategies is pushing for greater efficiency, control centers are expected to do more with less. Teams must oversee complex, multi-source networks that include solar, wind, thermal, and hydro power, all spread across wide regions. Managing this in real time isn’t optional anymore; it’s essential.

This has led to tighter integration between OT and IT systems. By bringing operational and digital platforms into one environment, operators gain clearer insight and can make faster, better-informed decisions. It also helps streamline communication across teams and regions, allowing issues to be resolved faster and routine tasks to be handled more efficiently.

2. AVCiT's IP-based KVM solutions in Grid Modernization and Operational Demands

AVCiT's IP-based KVM solution is purposefully designed to support the demands of modern grid operations. It offers reliable performance, real-time responsiveness, and seamless integration across complex systems. With thousands of deployments worldwide, it has proven to help dispatch centers operate more smoothly, respond faster, and manage with greater confidence.

2.1 Architecture and Reliability

The solution’s fully distributed, server-free architecture eliminates single points of failure, ensuring uninterrupted system availability. Even in high-load or fault conditions, the platform remains stable and responsive. AVCiT's KVM solution design strengthens overall infrastructure resilience and provides grid operators with dependable control under any circumstance.

2.2 Real-Time Visualization and Control

Benefit from AVCiT's ASE technology, the high-resolution 4K video transmission under ultra-low latency  helps dispatchers gain a real-time, crystal-clear view of all critical operations. The intuitive drag and drop interface allows teams to instantly switch sources, visualize data streams, and take control across multiple screens. This improves decision-making speed and reduces the risk of errors during urgent situations.

2.3 System Interoperability and Data Fusion

AVCiT's system is fully compatible with industry-standard platforms which  enables a unified view of live data, alarms, and analytics, all accessible through a single interface. By integrating diverse systems into one cohesive platform, operators reduce IT complexity and gain centralized, actionable insights for better grid coordination.

2.4 User Experience and Emergency Response

Designed with the end user in mind, AVCiT's OSD (on-screen Display) offers predefined scenarios and an easy-to-use interface for rapid actions. Role-based access across multiple terminals ensures operational clarity, while one-click control transfer and real-time alarm linkage make emergency handling faster and more coordinated. Built-in intercom and video call functions support smooth collaboration between sites, enhancing both day-to-day efficiency and response during critical events.

3. Real-World Success: Streamlined Operations at KOMIPO’s Renewable Energy Integrated Monitoring Center

3.1 Project Background

Korea Midland Power (KOMIPO) supplies approximately 13% of all domestic electricity in the Republic of Korea, operating major power plants across six regions. As part of its commitment to clean energy and digital transformation, KOMIPO established a Renewable Energy Integrated Monitoring Center to manage and oversee solar power generation, energy storage systems, and on-site surveillance.

3.2 Solution Highlights and Business Outcomes

AVCiT delivered a responsive, server-free IP based KVM system tailored to the needs of KOMIPO’s Renewable Energy Integrated Monitoring Center. The solution brought together video, data, and control functions into a single intuitive platform. Operators can manage multiple signals from photovoltaic systems (PV), energy storage systems (ESS), and on-site surveillance cameras using just one keyboard and mouse.

The system’s low latency architecture, with response times of 31 milliseconds or less, enables real-time access to live feeds. This allows dispatchers to respond quickly to changing conditions across power generation facilities. The visual drag and drop controls make it easy to switch between sources, customize layouts, and display data on large video walls using either a standard workstation or an interactive control tablet.

With multi-terminal access and built-in communication tools such as instant chat and video calling, teams across different stations collaborate more effectively, even during time-sensitive events. Operators have clear visibility into key operational zones and can transmit critical data instantly, improving both routine monitoring and emergency response.

Seamless integration with existing systems means the deployment required no major infrastructure changes. Yet it delivered significant improvements in workflow efficiency and situational awareness. AVCiT’s solution successfully transformed it to be a more agile, centralized, and resilient control environment that supports KOMIPO’s long-term objectives in smart energy management and operational excellence.

4. Conclusion

Modernizing dispatch infrastructure doesn’t just reduce delays or cut costs. It helps power providers deliver more stable, reliable electricity, respond faster to emergencies, and stay ahead of changing demands.

As energy systems evolve, control rooms are playing an increasingly critical role in ensuring reliability, coordination, and long-term resilience. AVCiT's IP-based KVM solution provides grid operators with the tools to manage complex, multi-source environments through real-time visibility, stable 24/7 performance, and seamless integration with existing infrastructure.

The successful deployment at KOMIPO’s Renewable Energy Integrated Monitoring Center demonstrates how a responsive and intuitive control platform can simplify operations, enhance situational awareness, and support more agile energy management. With a scalable architecture and user-friendly control experience, AVCiT empowers utilities to modernize their dispatch operations and confidently move toward smarter, more connected energy networks.
