Liviu Rotaru – Distribuție Energie Oltenia
Since 2005, Liviu Rotaru has been the manager of the Control Systems Department within Distribuție Energie Oltenia. Liviu Rotaru provided the management of the first two years of introducing a modern and unique SCADA system, to cover the entire area of activity of the company (7 counties). Currently, the SCADA system of the Distribuție Energie Oltenia integrates 108 power stations and more than 1,300 field equipment.
Apart from the SCADA implementation project, Liviu Rotaru is an important part of other essential projects in the company. One of these is the dispatching project of CE Fântânele-Cogealac (the largest onshore wind farm in Europe) by the Pitesti dispatcher. Liviu is also involved in the project to create reserve dispatchers for critical situations.
In addition to the horizontal development of the SCADA system, by integrating new equipment into the system, the way of vertical development is investigated, by using historical or real-time data in systems for analyzing and optimizing the operation of the energy system. This is materialized by initiating and implementing an ADMS (Advanced Distribution Management System), a consistent project that follows the digitalization trends of the company’s processes.
