Wide-Area Situational Awareness
Synchrowave Operations improves situational awareness by providing live, subsecond, and time-aligned information from across the entire power system. Waveform signatures provide additional insight into the dynamic behavior of the power system, which enhances decision making during abnormal conditions.
Real-Time Visualization
Operators will promptly see the system response after switching a line in or out of service. Unreliable behaviors, like a growing oscillation or a failed breaker reclose cycle, are visible instantaneously with subsecond resolution that enables quick identification and response before the issue impacts the power system.
Intelligent Analytics and Notifications
Real-time analytics applications constantly monitor streaming data and provide notifications that give the operator access to key event data, including the location and impact, with a single click.
Secured Access to Data and Applications
Applications and all dependencies run self-contained, resulting in reduced attack surfaces. Access to the platform is restricted to authorized users via Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication.
Renewable Energy Monitoring
High-resolution data lets operators measure and track the impact of renewables. Integrating renewable energy into the power system can result in reduced system stability and new oscillatory modes. System dynamics from these generation sources change quickly—too fast to see at traditional SCADA rates.
Power System Model Validation
To accurately replicate events, power system studies rely on accurate system models. Synchrowave Operations will record the system response to system events, such as capacitor switching, generator trips, load shedding, or other events. Comparing the recording to system models lets operators validate system security and reliability.
Equipment Failure Prevention
Automatically detect an impending PT failure with high-resolution time-series measurements. Early detection gives time for crews to schedule PT maintenance before a failure occurs.
Linear State Estimation (LSE)
Improve measurement accuracy and power system visibility with LSE. The LSE application uses network configuration and direct measurements to improve observability and calculate the topology and state of the power system, supplying operators with more precise information to support decision making.
Synchrowave for Grid Operations
Synchrowave Operations enhances existing utility power system operations by delivering power system insights that SCADA can’t provide through situational awareness.High-Performance Platform
Synchrowave Operations is built on Synchrowave Platform, a scalable, resilient, and secure application platform for real-time power system operations and analytics. Synchrowave Platform brings state-of-the-art software technology to a secure private network. Applications on Synchrowave Platform work together to create new solutions for utility grid operation challenges. Each application is independent and communicates with the platform through interfaces, enabling new applications to quickly be developed and deployed. The platform is designed from the ground up with microservice and container technology, providing a robust and scalable platform for future growth.Simple and Fast Application Deployment
Install, manage, and update applications quickly and independently. When a new application is released or an existing application is enhanced, that application is simply uploaded to the platform. The underlying container technology ensures the software suite is scalable, resilient, and secure.Resiliency and Availability for Grid Operations
During a server failure or maintenance, applications automatically rebalance and move to healthy servers in the platform’s cluster, ensuring critical applications are always operational.Know What’s Happening With High-Speed Time-Series Data
The dynamics of the power system are changing because of increased renewable energy integration. Traditional SCADA data rates fail to capture important information needed to maintain grid stability. Synchrowave Platform supports high-speed time-synchronized measurements, ensuring the operators know what is happening on the grid at all times and can make timely decisions.Improve Situational Awareness With Continuous Waveform Recording
Capture high-frequency events and phenomena using 3 ksps continuous waveform recording of voltage and current measurements.SEL-5702 Features
