Siemens and Electric Power Group partner to enhance proactive grid management and resilience
Siemens and EPG: Integrating real-time intelligence to enhance resilience and stability across the entire power network.
The energy transition is rapidly
transforming power grids, introducing challenges from variable renewable generation
and dynamic loads that necessitate complementing traditional Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition systems (SCADA). This creates the need for a more
dynamic and precise approach to grid management. EPG’s technology addresses
this by leveraging high-speed, time-synchronized data to provide a real-time,
comprehensive view of grid behavior. Specifically, synchrophasors offer highly
precise, GPS-synchronized measurements of voltage and current waveforms,
capturing magnitude and phase angle multiple times per second. The WAMS then
collects and processes this data from numerous points, providing a dynamic,
holistic, and real-time perspective of the entire grid.
The joint solution offers significant
benefits to transmission and distribution system operators (TSOs and DSOs),
energy companies, and operators of critical power infrastructure. Key
advantages include improved grid stability through real-time monitoring, faster
fault detection and response to reduce the risk of downtime, and enhanced
situational awareness for grid operators.
"This collaboration represents a
significant advancement in grid intelligence. Precise, synchronized data
acquisition via EPG – integrated into our automation solutions – enables
enhanced transparency and improved predictive control. This is a key element of
a resilient, self-optimizing grid of the future that not only manages the
complexity of the energy transition but actively shapes it," said Bernd
Meyer, Vice President of Research & Development at Siemens Smart
Infrastructure.
“The partnership’s long-term framework
agreement enables a standardized and scalable deployment model for projects
across the globe. The open and interoperable design of the WAMS architecture
ensures seamless integration into existing grid infrastructure, providing a
scalable solution for both regional and national grids,” said Vikram Budhraja,
CEO of EPG.
