Stable, secure energy is essentialA reliable energy service is a fundamental expectation in today’s society. For everythingfrom basic needs, such as heating and lighting,to modern household appliances and industrialprocessing, electricity is essential. Which is whya significant proportion of the global economy is dedicated to providing energy services whenand where needed.

As society becomes increasingly vulnerable to disturbances and interruptions in the energysupply, power companies face growing pressureto satisfy the demand for a reliable and safe

service while operating with smaller margins. Atthe same time, the sound management of scarceenergy resources, costs, and the associated envi-ronmental issues becomes vital.

Total control is the only solutionThe only sure way to guarantee energy supplyand remain competitive is to be in total control ofthe entire transmission and distribution network.

Full openness for total integrationDesigned to prevailing industry standards, ouropen systems architecture ensures easy integration with other systems. What’s more, we continuously track advances in technologyto further develop our software solutions toensure smooth migration paths.

A modular and flexible approachThe modular design means systems can be tailored to the exact needs of our customers.And as requirements change, the system caneasily be modified in an incremental manner.

Application modules operate in a distributedfashion, which enables maintenance and furtherdevelopment to be implemented with minimalimpact on the rest of the system. The flexibledesign also allows for vertical and horizontalintegration within the power company.

Designed for user friendly operationOur highly user friendly systems always focus onspecific operator needs. They provide a detailed

graphical image or snapshot of the entire power system. Current

operating conditions plusexisting or

anticipated future problems are also graphicallypresented in a process oriented way.

Information is presented according to userpreference, such as schematic one-line diagramsor geographical maps, bar charts, tables, or asindividual or grouped lists. Advanced dynamiccoloring makes it easier for the operator to im-mediately determine status and identify problems.

Our systems offer versatile navigation capa-bilities across world maps. Zoom and pan facilitiesallow the operator to focus on specific areas ofthe network or to provide him or her a full over-view of the complete network. And the powerfullocate function places a network object in a central position on screen for review and action.

Our network control applications include acomprehensive operator training simulator whichexactly replicates the control system. The simulatorcan be used for training with an experiencedinstructor or in self tuition mode.

S.P.I.D.E.R. SCADA, EMS and DMS for the entire power systemOur S.P.I.D.E.R. and S.P.I.D.E.R. MicroSCADAsystems cover SCADA, EMS and DMS applications.These systems enhance the management andcontrol of electrical power processes, fromgeneration to transmission and distribution.
