Power System Advanced Monitoring Software - PSMS™

Intelligent graphical user interface
State estimator & load distributor
Process & performance monitoring
Alarm & notification management

Provides intuitive and integrated real-time power monitoring via an intelligent graphical user interface. Power Monitoring Software functions include checking the condition of the network, estimating missing system states, detecting network abnormalities, and annunciating alarms based on operating conditions and status changes.

Network Topology Builder

Network Topology Builder is a user-friendly environment for creating and managing of the network database used for schematic network visualization and is the foundation of real-time applications.

Intelligent one-line diagram
Multi-level nesting of sub-systems
Multi-color symbols
Interfaces management switching device
Unique multi-dimensional database

Power Monitoring Extended System Visibility

State estimation of non-observable subsystems
Comparison of measured vs. estimated values
Dependable & fast convergence solution
Minimum system measurements requirement
State-of-the-art estimation techniques
Data consistency checking
Bad data & error detection
Load distribution

Process & Performance Power Monitoring

The operator interface provides graphical and tabular views of the network to allow the operators and dispatchers to make quick, accurate, and proactive decisions while performing critical tasks.

ETAP’s embedded visualization tools, intelligent one-line diagram, customizable notification views combined with prediction and simulation modules improve situation awareness by enabling the dispatcher to effectively and efficiently manage vast portions of the system.

Power Monitoring Dashboards

Dashboards allow visualizing of the data in user-definable formats. Dashboards assist in the assessment of a situation in real-time basis per measurement tag or for an entire set of inputs.

Instantly view and analyze key performance indicators and process data such as gas, water, oxygen, nitrogen, and air networks.

GIS System Interface

The GIS system interface automatically generates electrical one-line diagrams with the corresponding geographical maps of power generation, transmission, and distribution systems.

Electrical system data is synchronized from GIS into ETAP thereby maintaining the relationship between them.

The results are displayed on one-line diagrams and geographical maps providing a seamless view of the power system within ETAP.

GIS sytem interface

PSMS can track and record unusual activities with event logging and alarming tools. This provision allows for early detection and announcement of problems before a critical failure takes place.

Changes in system information are displayed graphically and logged. The calculated results are compared with metered parameters to provide pop-up alarms for equipment with missing and out-of-range data.

Annunciate local & system-wide alarms
Warnings based on equipment ratings
Alarm priority setting & event triggering
Annunciate out-of-range measurements
Graphical, tabulated, & audible annunciation
Predict abnormal conditions & critical failures
