Computers and Public Networks

Computers are used to control the conditions of public networks for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy in an entire country. In this field, analog computers can be used, which were developed to simulate the operation of the main public lines, and can thus predict the conditions of the public network in various circumstances, such as the failure of one of the generators, transformers or controllers, or in the event of thunderstorms or when the consumption of electrical energy increases. A digital computer provides the analog computer with information about the network. The two computers work together in a mixed system. The digital computer receives information about the network lines, controllers and generating stations, classifies this information, coordinates it and prepares it to supply the analog computer. The digital computer also stores this information on magnetic tapes that can be referred to when comparing current and past conditions. The digital computer also processes the information coming out of the analog computer and prints or prepares it in the required form. In some cases, the analog computer can be dispensed with completely and replaced with special programs for the digital computer.
