State Grid of China - OPEN 3000. Phillipines -NGCP. InterAksyon.comThe online news portal of TV5 CEBU - The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines has completed the upgrade of its system in the Visayas grid. In a statement, NGCP said the upgrade of its Energy Management System will allow the company to improve the efficiency of the region's power transmission network.
"The upgrade was necessary to replace obsolete hardware and overloaded system software in order to increase system reliability and performance, provide complete system data by accommodating new substations, and integrate the electricity market functions into the EMS," the company said. The project adopted OPEN 3000, a state-of-the-art operating system that monitors and controls the balance of power supply and demand. NGCP's upgraded EMS integrates applications that are needed to manage the power transmission network. Aside from the Visayas, NGCP has also upgraded its system operations in Luzon and Mindanao. The SCADA/EMS upgrade in Luzon and Visayas cost P189.4 million. Lynx DMS. PSI: Control, Networks & Information Management | PSI Energy. Siemens. Spectrum Power. MAVIR - Hongrie. (2009-2011) ZEUS-based Control Centre of MAVIR ZRt. Implementation report MAVIR ZRt. (MAVIR Hungarian Independent Transmission Operator Company Ltd.) decided to merge its five existing regional control centres into one national control centre.
The decision was made in 2007, then after the preparation of implementation (design concept, study of implementation, system design) in 2009 the design and construction has started. This Control Centre fulfils three main duties: network management, network operation and transmission system operation, all carried out by independent workstations. The network management and network operation staff use Prolan’s ZEUS SCADA system, while the transmission system operators use the SIEMENS SPECTRUM EMS/SCADA and Prolan’s ZEUS SCADA system together. Prolan had allocated a team consisting of 10 engineers and a time period of one and a half years to accomplish the task. Brazil - ONS. Brasilia, Brazil — (METERING.COM) — February 15, 2010 – A consortium of Siemens and Brazil’s electrical energy research center Cepel has been awarded a contract for the replacement of a SCADA and energy management system for the country’s national electric system operator, ONS.
The project, named REGER, provides for the installation of a new management system integrating the four regional operations centers in order to provide a complete communications and sharing of data between regions. The project, which is expected to begin operation in two years, is a pioneering initiative in Brazil and represents a major leap forward in the management of transmission systems and power generation and towards a smart grid.
"The project that we will realize is part of a global trend,” said Guilherme Mendonça, director of automation at Siemens Energy in Brazil. Technologies provided will include Siemens’ Spectrum PowerCC Information Model Manager and Cepel’s power management system Sage. US - NYSEG and RG&E. Siemens logo.

SOURCE Siemens Energy. US - Dairyland. US PJM. In late 2011, as the result of the Advanced Control Center (AC2) program run by the regional transmission grid operator PJM Interconnection (Norristown, Pennsylvania, U.S.), one of the most advanced grid management systems in the world commenced operation and is being used to manage North America's largest transmission grid.
The grid management system integrates the Siemens Spectrum Power energy management system and is based on a shared architecture integration platform developed by Siemens Infrastructure & Cities and PJM. The system is operated at two different sites. The control centers at each site are fully functional and capable of running the grid either independently or jointly as a single virtual control center. PJM is the only grid operator in North America and one of the few companies worldwide to have dual primary control centers. “This is a formidable breakthrough for grid operators worldwide.

Siemens Energy has completed the installation of its Spectrum Power 3 SCADA/EMS system for Arizona Public Service (APS), Arizona’s largest and longest-serving electric utility.
This project established a partnership whereby APS co-developed certain required functionality with Siemens. The new system was commissioned in November 2008. By engaging in a true partnership with Siemens, APS implemented an overall SCADA/EMS technology refresh, which provides existing functionality as well as introduces the benefits of advanced transmission network applications and an operator training simulator.
“APS had three primary objectives when beginning this SCADA/EMS project,” said Tom Glock, APS Director of Transmission and Distribution Operations. “The first was to become a member of a large user and support EMS organization. The second was to obtain state estimation and contingency analysis functionality. SEPS - Slovaquie. Power T&D Solutions. Ventyx. ELES - Slovenie.

UK grid outgrows its SCADA: a new challenge for GE's XA/21 transmission system manager, which has been installed by the UK's National Grid Company to oversee the entire grid in England and Wales. It displaces an existing SCADA based system.(TRANSMISSION & National Grid Company, owned by National Grid Transco plc, the largest investor-owned utility in the UK, runs the power grid in England and Wales, a system that consists of 4500 miles of high-voltage overhead electricity transmission lines, 400 miles of high-voltage electricity transmission underground cable and in excess of 250 substations.
The existing NGC energy management systems was composed of 2 SCADA systems (north and south) and an overseeing system, which managed data relating to power management. By 2003 this system was considered no longer capable of meeting dramatically increasing demands for real time data and control capacity. It was therefore necessary to design and implement a more flexible integrated EMS to meet the evolving requirements of a larger and more complex network.
