The key concerns of the energy providers of the future will be to ensure that grid control systems are capable of integrating energy, asset and disturbance management into company-wide IT systems and grid calculation, as well as training and simulation complemented by future-oriented Smart Grid functions. Optimised use of primary energy sources as well as consideration of provider contracts and the market prices for electrical energy and gas are essential requirements of the energy use plan of power and district heating providers.

Together with aX grid solutions, AutomationX meets these needs with proven industry solutions and state-of-the-art control technologies, as it does in the field of process and grid automation on the strength of its many years of experience as a system integrator. With its Advanced Process Control solution, eposC optimises energy use and thus the efficiency of power and heating generation.

Distributed grid control systems – grid solutions

When integrating control and telecontrol systems into existing systems, the ability to link different new and existing system components is essential. We take account of this need through consistent use of IT and IEC standards with aX RESY®, aXmFEP and XEA300. These systems are distinguished by their simple, timesaving engineering and efficient complete system maintenance functions. Support software packages and applications for automating district heating and water grids, as well as higher software functions for power and gas, fundamentally support the operation of these grids. aX RESY®-NES, the dynamic training simulator for power grids, simulates power grids and makes an essential contribution to the operator training of control room personnel of power grid companies.
