PSS® Product Suite

General Information

Description

With the Power System Simulator (PSS®) product suite, Siemens PTI provides a range of analysis tools, including our premier product PSS®E for electrical transmission planning, which has been significantly upgraded with modern graphics, e.g. integration with modeling tools.

Since the mid 1980s we have also supplied utility and industry planning software and currently offer PSS®SINCAL as our strategic product in this field. Besides electrical networks, PSS®SINCAL also is capable of dealing with gas, water and district heating system planning tasks.

Siemens PTI has also developed tools for maintaining and integrating transmission operations with transmission planning including the integration of real-time information to our PSS®ODMS Operational Database Management System software that is fully CIM (Common Information Model) compliant.

Overview of our main software products:

PSS®E - transmission system planning
PSS®SINCAL - utility and industry system analysis
PSS®NETOMAC - dynamic system analysis
PSS®ODMS - operational data management
PSS®MUST - transmission system analysis
MOD® - model on demand

Product Information

PSS®ODMS

Description

PSS®ODMS is a standalone software product designed for easy integration with SCADA/EMS to provide online network applications and CIM-compliant, unified network model management within an open architecture.
Used by system operators, power engineers and IT professionals throughout the electrical power industry, PSS®ODMS provides a lightweight and cost-effective yet incredibly powerful and user-friendly solution for operational network simulation/analysis. Its advanced “look-ahead” capability helps to improve system reliability (one of the key components of SmartGrid). PSS®ODMS also includes the most sophisticated CIM-compliant multi-user network modeling platform available today, supporting past, present and future network states.

In addition, PSS®ODMS seamlessly integrates with PSS®E through data exchange and scripting to bridge the data gap between operations and planning departments.

Does your company find itself in one of the following situations?

Scenario 1

“My organization has SCADA only. We recognize the added benefit of online network applications, but we do not have the budget or resources to purchase and maintain a conventional EMS and we are not looking to replace our existing SCADA system.”

Scenario 2

“My organization has a conventional SCADA/EMS including online network applications. We are interested in one or more of the following:

Improved data synchronization between operations and planning
Historical case studies
CIM-compliant network model data exchange and validation
Extending operational system visibility for improved contingency analysis
Other special functions not provided by our current EMS vendor.”

Scenario 3

“My organization is looking for a CIM-based enterprise solution with an open architecture, that supports a unified transmission operations-planning network model including past, present and future network states.”

If the answer is “Yes,” then PSS®ODMS can provide the solution.

PSS®ODMS offers a unique, robust and flexible solution to meet the challenges facing your company today. Contact Siemens PTI for further information or to schedule a demonstration.
