PSI presents network control solutions at the CIRED 2017 in Glasgow

Smart PSI energy software systems support distribution network operators

Berlin, 23 May 2017 – The PSI Electrical Energy business will be presenting the new releases of PSI software solutions in the fields of network control and workforce management at the CIRED in Glasgow, Scotland from 12 to 15 June 2017 (Stand B02). The presentations will also include examples from current projects for distribution networks, the SASO system and the Smart Telecontrol Unit.

The current Release 4.5 of the PSIcontrol system offers an improved fault analysis, the integration of the monitoring of overhead lines, expanded control functions for decentralised feedings, data management and CIM master data importing through PSIxchange. Furthermore, PSI presents the network control system PSIcontrol used by the Danish customer Visue in Jutland that is a currently being used by thirteen client companies for the control of the distribution network including low voltage.

The workforce management system PSIcommand supports the central and local personnel in the maintenance, construction and fault clearance processes and is suitable for application in any infrastructure. The switch support from the field will be presented, either as planned switching measures or in an automated resupply as well as the integration of the FNN Forum (Network Technology/Network Operation) report according to scheme A with combined support from PSIcontrol and PSIcommand.

The SASO system (Security Assessment and System Optimization), originally developed for transmission network operators, is also as suitable for distribution networks. It provides the network controller with a concentrated network status assessment and offers suggestions for the elimination of existing or expected disruptions.

The Smart Telecontrol Unit (STU), an intelligent process coupling unit with all the decentralised control functions required for smart grids, will also be presented.

The CIRED is held every two years and is the world’s leading conference for distribution network operators.

On the basis of its own software products, PSI AG develops and integrates complete solutions for energy management (energy networks, energy trading), production management (mining, metals, automotive, mechanical engineering, logistics) and infrastructure management for transport and safety. PSI was founded in 1969 and employs more than 1,600 persons worldwide.
