Berlin, 24 June 2013 – PSI Poland has signed an agreement with ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. for the implementation of the test version of the Wind Farm Management System (WFMS) based on PSIcontrol. The distribution network operator ENEA Operator, which belongs to the ENEA Group, is responsible for the supply of electrical energy and covers the northern section, about 20% of all of Poland. ENEA Operator has lines with a total distance of more than 129,000 km and more than 35,000 network stations.
The focus of the agreement is on the testing of the WFMS by ENEA Operator with the goal of both increasing the safety of the network operations as well as guaranteeing the optimal utilization of renewable energies. The test system is intended to optimally support the dispatcher in overload situations that can occur from wind feeds in the wire transmission of the Recław station in the direction of Trzebiatów. Furthermore, on the basis of power flow calculations, bottlenecks should be detected early on and corrective proposals determined. A number of other functionalities of the network safety calculations such as line monitoring, N-1 safety calculation, interruption variant calculation and optimal power flow will also be implemented.
The system to be tested by ENEA Operator is based on the PSI control system PSIcontrol, which has already been in use for many years by major energy suppliers such as E.ON Netz.
On the basis of its own software products, PSI AG develops and integrates complete solutions for energy management (gas, oil, electricity, heat, energy trading), production management (mining, metals, automotive, mechanical engineering, logistics) and infrastructure management for transport and safety. PSI was founded in 1969 and employs 1,600 persons worldwide.
