The facilities use two different SCADA software and constantly exchange data while power stations have to send signals to and work with both centres at the same time. Thanks to that, if any of the two encounters hardware or software problems or completely breaks down, the other will take charge of monitoring and operating the entire power grid in HCM City, according to EVN HCMC./.
