Control Center and Energy Management Solutions
General Information
- Description
The forces driving energy market liberalization and privatization are changing the world of energy supply. Consequently, the business focus of the energy supply has shifted from supply reliability and cost minimization to competitiveness and optimization of earnings, which have become today's dominant factors and will remain so well in the future.
Today, energy supply companies are facing major challenges including competition, customer retention and satisfaction, and shareholder value. They must react quickly and flexibly to new requirements and changing market conditions. But they can only meet these challenges by reengineering and optimizing their existing business processes.

Spectrum Power - Common Model Management System (CMMS)
- Description
- Key Capabilities
Spectrum Power CMMS
The Siemens Spectrum Power Common Model Management System (CMMS) provides tools and automation to efficiently manage the exchange, validation, approval, and commissioning of transmission network model changes within and between RTO/ISO and Transmission Distribution Service Provider (TDSP) operations and planning departments. Spectrum PowerCMMS also enables you to generate, manage, and synchronize network model information from a single shared source to support utility systems and applications, such as network planning, energy management, market operations, congestion revenue rights, outage scheduling and more. This reduces modeling errors, improves coordination, and streamlines processes for transmission network changes.
The CMMS integrates Spectrum PowerInformation Model Manager (IMM) and Siemens PTI Model on Demand (MOD) products into a single package. The Spectrum Power Information Model Manager generates and maintains the operations network model and changes, while MOD tracks the planning model and all planning changes. The integrated package provides consistent, coordinated models for any point in time based on the planned energization dates provided to the system.
Automatically Submit Model Changes
electronically submit network model changes to facilitate exchange between the RTO/ISO and the regional TDSP.
Create RTO/ISO Planning Model
combine the current regional Operating Model with the region’s proposed plans to develop a Planning Model for the RTO/ISO. Use this model as the basis for evaluating network reliability as network changes are implemented over time.
Electronic Approval/Rejection Notification
provides electronic notification to the TDSP when a plan is approved or rejected. If the plan is rejected, it identifies the reasons so the TDSP can modify and resubmit the plan in a timely manner.
Secure Independent Repository
Approved plans are placed in a secure accessiblerepository. The TDSP can access its approved plans from the repository and use these to develop the commissioning plan necessary to put them into operations.
Manage Changes between Planning and Operations within the TDSP
provides streamlined electronic coordination of planning model changes to be commissioned with the real-time operating model.
Synchronize T&D and RTO/ISO Operating Model
electronically provides TDSP Operating Model changes to the RTO/ISO when ready to be commissioned.
