As of October 1, 2008, our U.S. business is called Siemens Energy, Inc.

Spectrum Power 3

Description

Energy Management System (EMS)

Years of experience in energy management have a name:

Spectrum Power 3 is the result of constant system improvement over the course of the last 30 years.This is how long we have been supplying computer assisted SCADA and EMS systems all over the world. We have already successfully completed more than 650 network control systems for energy companies - and of these, more than 50 projects are based on Spectrum Power 3 with its open, distributed system architecture. 

We see ourselves responsible for the success of our customers. This means we supply you with more than just the hardware and software for the network control systems:

Siemens possesses a highly efficient worldwide organization which effectively executes all aspects of the project.

In today's world which is under continous restructuring, we competently provide you with our experience and drive to help you succeed in midst of change.

You can bank on our support - worldwide, around the clock.

Spectrum Power 3 meets all criteria

Spectrum Power 3 has a wide-ranging suite of applications, to help you get the most out of your network.

Efficient

Different groups of functionality may be distributed to different servers, or combined into one, to provide the optimal utilization of system resources. 

Reliable

Servers with time-critical functions are supported by an appropriate backup computer (hot standby), and additional servers protect the less critical functions. This meets all requirements in terms of function and system availability. 

Open Communication

The Spectrum Power 3 EMS acquires process data via the front-ends and the real-time data servers.

The data acquisition servers are linked to the remote terminal units (RTUs), while the communication servers ensure secure data exchange with other control centers, employing protocols such as ICCP.

Straightforward Configuration

The graphic user interface can be configured individually by the user as required, to suit the duties involved. Based on web standards, this user interface supports multible-window displays, full pan and zoom functions, and provides outstanding display call-up times.

Future-oriented

The distributed systems are based on standards, such as SVG, DNP, HTTP, and NIST.

Spectrum Power 3 built on a solid foundation of industrial standarts and uses only higher-level programming languages. That is to say - the investments in software and hardware possess a long useful life - they retain their value well into the future.

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:

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:
