Advanced Monitoring & Control

Intelligent Graphical User Interface
State Estimator & Load Distributor
Process & Performance Monitoring
Alarm & Notification Management

Provides intuitive and integrated real-time monitoring via an intelligent graphical user interface. Monitoring 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 Alarm & Notification

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.

Using features like the intelligent one-line diagram,
multi-level nesting of sub-systems, multi-color symbols, interfaces for management of switching devices, and a unique multi-dimensional database. You can interactively monitor and manage the electrical network as well as execute simulation scenarios and analyze their results
in a simple and intuitive manner.

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

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.

User-programmable alarm levels are available and can be configured to announce conditions not normally detected by the system annunciator. For operator attention, alarm annunciation can be customized for message, help, remedy, color, and sound.

 
Consider the Cost Savings of Using Fewer Meters
 
Extended System Visibility

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.

 
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.
