    PSI SASO DSO 2.0 - Data exchange with investment protection

    Benefit from PSI's future-proof solution!

The data exchange between transmission and distribution system operators is more important than ever!

The focus: Increasing the supply security

The reason for developing a system for Security Analysis and System Optimization (PSIsaso/ DSO 2.0) were the European network regulations which require the cooperation between Distribution System Operators (DSO), plant operators, and Transmission System Operators (TSO) in the European electricity network. In particular, the regulations include CACM, GLDPM, FCA VO, and SO-GL.

The DSOs must inform generation plant operators about pending infeed management measures.This enables the DSO to set up look-ahead models of their networks and to provide them to the TSO.

PSI is a competent partner at your side to meet the data exchange requirements.

We have developed a future-proof solution to meet these requirements. As a DSO, you can also significantly benefit from these.

PSsaso/DSO 2.0 protects your investment in the future

Our system for Security Analysis and System Optimization PSIsaso consists of the two basic functionalities basic module and PCOM+ as well as the application modules GLDPM for the data exchange process specified in Germany, Network State Forecast for look-ahead network operations, and Redispatch for the realization of Redispatch 2.0.

PSI SASO DSO 2.0

Our future-proof solution

For the realization of the associated requirements, it is necessary to expand existing control systems and to add new components. For this purpose, PSI has developed PSIsaso/DSO 2.0 which provides you with a modular, expandable, and therefore future-proof solution.

PSIsaso basic module

The DSOs must inform generation plant operators about pending infeed management measures.This enables the DSO to set up look-ahead models of their networks and to provide them to the TSO. The range of functions include: 

  • Value substitution strategy
  • Snapshot network data model in binary NA data model
  • Import of infeed and load forecasts
  • Import of conventional infeed schedules (KWEP data)
  • Import of reported EE infeeds (DCI schedules)
  • Import of weather forecasts, for example for overhead line monitoring (OLM)
  • Consideration of scheduled switching measures
  • Consideration of overhead line monitoring using the weather forecasts. The data model is transferred via the binary NA data model
  • Entry and editing of temporary equipment for defined validity time periods
  • Import of the boundary set to eliminate the upstream network if it is included in the modeled network (boundary equipment profile)
  • Editing of switching states for defined validity time periods
  • Load and infeed data from subordinate network areas which themselves cannot be calculated, are aggregated on the higher level. Only in connection with the binary NA data model

It includes following features:

  • Energy data manager for the selection of time series by filtering the time series archive
  • Display with tabular representation of time series and manual intervention (editor)
  • Master data and relationship management, maintenance interface for managing network elements
  • Communication server for parameterization of data input and transmission
  • Communication archive for documentation of external data transfers
  • Interface for validation and substitute value parameterization
  • Tool for interface monitoring on physical, logical and functional level
  • Authorization assignment for administrators
  • Creation of direct database accesses via optional SQL interface

Your benefits

  • Overview of all communication processes
  • Expansion option for data exchange and time series management processes

GLDPM module

Capacity calculation based on a standardized procedure for the electricity traded on the day-ahead and intra-day markets requires data exchange across networks. This is achieved with the following features:

  • Generation of a network dataset based on the GLDPM process for the TSO
  • Verification of the forecast data model using the load flow calculation
  • Active reduction of the imported distribution network data model


Your benefits

  • Compliance with GLDPM requirements
  • Use of acquired data across multiple modules for stability calculation of the own network

    Network State Forecast module

    For a realistic forecast of the future state of the distribution networks, it is important to know the state of the transmission networks.This objective is achieved with the following functions:

    • Generation and verification future network states using time series in PCOM+    
    • Import of the forecast TSO network models and linking to own network
    • Import of the forecast network models of adjacent DSO and linking to the own network
    • Cascading of the CY (if available in NCS)
    • Congestion detection: Forecast of the network states and its verification with regard to limit violations
    • Resolution of current congestions by topological switching measures
    • Setup of the reactive power flow required by the TSO
    • Infeed management controller:  Resolution or reduction of current congestions by reduc-ing decentralized infeeds
    • Determination of the greatest possible reactive power exchange at the transfer points of a reactive power cluster to the upstream TSO
    • CGMES Viewer:  In the simulation mode of PSIsaso, a network diagram with the data for the currently loaded simulation copy is displayed
    • Station diagrams are generated from the topology
    • Simulation of a forecast point in time. The Study mode is started in PSIsaso and can be used via JFE
    • The study mode is started in the NCS. For this purpose, the input data model of the network state forecast for this point in time is transferred to the operator workstation in the NCS.

        Module Decision Support

        With the increase of the decentralized energy generation, the importance of the usually static disconnection points in the network also increases. The "Decision support" module realizes dynamic optimization of the disconnection points which allows significantly better utilization of the entire medium and low voltage network while complying with the specified voltage bands. The objective of this optimization is to avoid additional network expansion measures.

        The "Decision support" module also provides support for network security. Intelligent energy networks require intelligent security applications for configuration of the field components as well as the management of the control center and the exchange of the required data. Even security experts cannot easily detect slowly injected manipulations of the network. The AI algorithm developed by PSI FLS for pattern recognition detects irregularities which may appear irrelevant to human observers and which have no apparent effect on your current network status.

        Your benefits

        • Reduced network expansion cost

        • Increased network security
