Features

  • Rapid and accurate model building.
  • Parallel version management.
  • Highly customizable.
  • Standards based.

Data Sheet

  • Adaptable to any control system and any power system schema. The schema, user interface, inference rules, and database query plans are configured via XML.
  • Handles multiple control systems, or multi-tier control systems, with different schema simulaneously. KR techniques eliminate duplications.
  • Highly parallel, project-based model building and maintenance. Many people can work independently on a large model. Prepared revisions can be deployed when required and in the order required.
  • Rapid model building using templates and inference. A complete substation model can be built in some tens of minutes with drag and drop.
  • Customizable user interface. Displays multiple views of the model, and multiple, tabbed detail forms.
  • Imports and exports data using XML and SQL. Generates reports in HTML and PDF. Custom flat files are supported through scripting and XSLT technology.
  • Stores models and associated data in an accessible XML form. Protects the utility's investment in model information.
