Concentration of Control Technology

PSIcontrol was developed for an extensive productivity increase in strategic network operation.  Our energy management solution enables a small team of permanent staff to effectively manage very large networks with high-density grid infrastructures.  Stability and reliability are maintained, even with extreme influxes of information.  This efficiency increase is only possible through an industry-leading software structure.

The unique system technology in PSIcontrol creates the platform for the optimum control system as well as the control system being accepted by network-operation staff.  The distinguishing characteristics within our applications are based on exceptional network capabilities and the use of communication technology standards.

The control system is made up of structured levels.  The bottlenecks of conventional centrally-organised master-slave systems are no longer an issue with the system architecture of PSIcontrol.

 

Special features of PSI Technology are:

  • Structural Mobility

The most structural configurability available for a control system today.  A PSIcontrol system is no longer locally limited.  It is possible to subdivide the control system configuration and to install components at various locations.  This allows unparalleled mobility in determining the control room locations and is also highly valuable to ensure safety and redundancy.

  • Superior System Dynamics through Parallel Processing

Parallel processing allows the quickest response time as well as minimizing processing times in worst-case situations and extreme influxes of information.

  • Unparalleled Availability

Structures operating in parallel can be configured with redundancy if required without negative affects on the system dynamics.  The redundancy management of PSIcontrol masters all fault patterns even if these occur simultaneously and several faults are active.  As long as a component still functions at the system level, the overall system can be operated without restriction.  In most projects the theoretical availability of 100% was achieved.
