Operation Technology (OTI), the developer of the ETAP enterprise for electrical power systems, has launched its Smart Grid Solution suite which is built on ETAP’s open-standard technology. ETAP Smart Grid reportedly offers real-time applications enabling electrical utilities to plan, coordinate, and operate power grids.
Reportedly, the real-time system integrates into the Data Acquisition (DA) systems and offers a range of functional features to manage, control, visualise, optimise, and automate the power grid.
The company claims that these capabilities provide several benefits to end users such as increased efficiency and reliability, as well as higher quality power that is less vulnerable to outages and the revenue loss that accompanies them.
Shervin Shokooh, chief operating officer of OTI, said: “ETAP has been at the forefront of real-time intelligent power system management solutions including network simulation, optimisation, and automation for more than 15 years, so it’s a natural progression to package these capabilities into a solution designed specifically for Smart Grid utilities.
“ETAP Smart Grid brings more intelligence to the grid through technologies that enable electrical utilities to visualise, predict, and interpret the grid data and make informed decisions via real-time dashboards and smart interfaces.”
