EMS Architectures
for today and for the future
Constantly growing efficiency of workstations and servers, networking, IT integration, relational databases and standardized interfaces - Spectrum Power 3 makes use of the most important technical trends - for your benefit.
Scalable, flexible and expandable
The architecture of Spectrum Power 3 is scalable. Thus, this system is ideally suitable for the configuration of network control systems of any magnitude, with all possible combinations of application programs.
Regardless of whether requirements of size or functionality are involved - a Spectrum Powwer 3 EMS is expandable at any time and adapts readily to any changes.
Spectrum Power 3 provides cutting-edge technology for the future.
Reliable, efficient network management assured by state-of-the-art software
From database management to network applications - Spectrum Power 3 provides state-of-the-art functionality. Integrated in the data processing environment of your company, it supports complete business processes.
The latest algorithms
Spectrum Power 3 assures maximum-possible reliability and efficiency under all operating conditions. It is equipped with the latest software for network analysis, generation control and generation scheduling.
We provide you with reliable technology - supported by our wealth of experience. We have for years been a leading supplier of EMS systems, and the applications provided have proven eminently successful in systems of every conceivable size and complexity.
Fast, robust and accurate state estimation
Conventional state estimation is not sufficiently robust for many systems. The requirement for a highly rugged design is in fact met by the use of orthogonal transformation techniques.
Siemens has here succeeded in making the technical breakthrough - with the Orthogonal State Estimator in Spectrum Power 3. It is both fast and robust.
User-friendly power-flow optimization
A core function of network management is the optimal power flow. In the case of it is fully integrated in the control system, provides a clear, practical interface, and permits largely automated operational sequences and, at the same time, detailed analytical facilities for the specialist.
In addition, the optimal power flow of
provides the following advantages:
Minimized transmission losses
Improved V/VAr control
Reduced reactive power transmission
Faster correction
Elimination of transmission overloads in the most cost-effective fashion.
Cost effective use of power
In the planning and management of power station utilization, as well as when buying and selling electrical energy, various criteria must be observed. On the one hand, there are economic considerations, and on the other hand, technical and contractual conditions have to be observed.
The individual subfunctions in the control system must in each case meet the highest standarts and, at the same time, they must form a matched system with continiuous modeling and operation/display interface. Spectrum Spectrum 3 meets this requirement - for optimum, cost-effective energy utilization:
Full integration of the subfunctions in the SCADA subsystem and the general operation/display interface
Continuous optimization of energy utilization over all time ranges of operational planning, extending to annual energy scheduling
Choice of several load forecasting processes simultaneously, including use of neural networks
Weekly operation planning of thermal, hydro or hydrothermal systems with matched state-of-the-art mathematical optimization methods
Flexible, convenient facilities for definition of energy properties and their billing, with interface to energy trading
Automated study functions for assessment of energy properties prior to completion (purchase and sale)
Integrated monitoring and reporting functions for quantities of energy, fuels and reserve capacity.
