Integrated Dispatching and Control System (IDCS) is an inevitable outcome of power grid dispatching automation as it develops to a certain stage, it provides important technical support for the construction of state grids integrated operation system. This paper firstly analyzes system construction and application status of IDCS, then summarizes existing problems and studies key technologies of IDCS from the aspects of improving systems intellectualization, security, rapidity and user-friendliness. Meanwhile, the developing foreground of IDCS will be conducted, expecting to provide some beneficial thoughts for relevant research and development.
