Upgrade of PSIcontrol with implementation of current security standards
Berlin, 23 January 2020 – The Allgäuer Überlandwerk GmbH and the AllgäuNetz GmbH & Co. KG commissioned PSI Software AG to upgrade the existing network control system implemented in 2017 to PSIcontrol 4.5. In October 2019, after more than two years of joint project work, the new AllgäuNetz control center went into operation.
With the upgrade of the control system, important new functions were integrated. Up-to-date geo data, lightning detection, a renewed fault analysis, low-voltage integration, post-mortem analysis, SCADA programming interface and switching application management increasingly support network management. A maintenance contract with update and upgrade guarantees the regular updating of the system.
The customer’s important requirements for IT security are fulfilled with the IT security technology implemented in PSIcontrol on the basis of the BDEW/ÖE rules.
PSI was already commissioned by the Allgäuer Überlandwerk in 1994 with the first delivery and implementation of the PSIcontrol control system. With the upgrade order customer is relying on a PSI system already in its third generation.
Allgäuer Überlandwerk GmbH has been reliably supplying 144,000 customers in the Allgäu region with electricity for over 90 years. The AllgäuNetz GmbH & Co. KG is responsible for the operation, maintenance and expansion of the local and regional distribution network facilities for grid-bound energy.
