PSIngo Transparency and automation platform for the distribution grid

The Intelligent Grid Operator provides you with a customized solution for all data-driven challenges of distribution grid operations, based on the modular PSIconnect platform.

Today, distribution grids are at the heart of the energy transition. With PSI’s innovative, modular PSIngo system, grid operators navigate the complex challenges of grid transformation effortlessly and securely.

One Platform for All Use Cases

Based on the high-performance PSIconnect platform, PSIngo transforms your low-voltage grid into an intelligent, highly automated system. The solution seamlessly maps the entire value creation process in a single, intuitive interface — from data acquisition and grid transparency to complex analytics, automated grid control, switching management, and control tests. The core functionality provides grid transparency and grid-supportive control in accordance with regulatory requirements (§ 14a EnWG). With the help of our flexible architecture, the scope of functions can be modularly expanded to include feed-in management, switching management, grid connection testing, or control tests. Your challenges define our solutions.

Interoperable, Modular System Platform

  • Grid Transparency: Comprehensive insights into grid topology, asymmetries, status, and utilization
  • Grid Control: Fully automated grid regulatation
  • Centralized Data Management: A single platform that eliminates redundant data storage with existing PSI legacy systems
  • Modular Design: Flexibly expand components based on your needs, including load forecasting, switching management, control tests, and more
  • Cloud-Based or On-Premises: Guaranteed secure operations 

The added value for grid operations!

Whether as a functional, seamless addition to your existing PSI network control systems (PSIprins and PSIcontrol) or as an independent, standalone solution for the low-voltage grid: PSIngo integrates flexibly into your data center or as a secure and scalable cloud service into any existing IT infrastructure. We guide you safely, step-by-step, through the digital transformation of your grid operations.

PSIngo is revolutionizing grid operation

Network transparency not only helps to eliminate disruptions, but also provides tools, enabling for planning the energy transition long-term. The advantages are obvious:

Benefits at a glance

  • Modern grid management Unite all your distributed grid data into a unified, complete, and computable grid model. Thanks to state-of-the-art three-phase grid state estimation, you receive reliable real-time insights and precise load forecasts. This allows you to identify and resolve bottlenecks before they even occur.
  • Full Regulatory Compliance from a Single Source PSIngo is designed as a universal control platform. It combines the coordinated control of consumer loads (§ 14a EnWG), feed-in management for power generation facilities (§ 9 EEG), and the automated execution of control tests (§ 12 EnWG) within a single, consolidated user interface.
  • Maximum Interoperability & Uncompromising IT Security − On-Premises or in the Cloud Benefit from our future-proof PSIconnect platform, which natively supports all standard protocols (such as IEC 104, IEC 61850, MQTT, REST) and is operated either in certified German data centers (Frankfurt and Berlin) or directly on-premises. Certified according to ISO 27001, we guarantee maximum data security.

Features

  • Three-Phase Real-Time State Estimation Even in highly meshed, complex grids, two complementary calculation methods provide you with highly stable results in extremely fast calculation cycles (within the single-digit second range) – phase-selective and with one-minute resolution.
  • Automated Flexibility and Congestion Management Leverage highly flexible configuration options (such as limit values and hystereses) in our intelligent, grid-area-specific algorithms for thousands of grid locations to regulate loads and feed-in sources based on demand and in a grid-supportive manner. Whether for § 14a EnWG, § 9 EEG, or § 12 EnWG.
  • High-Availability Mass Data Management With the help of state-of-the-art event streaming technology (such as Apache Kafka via PSIconnect), PSIngo processes high-frequency measurement data and alarms from substations or SMGWs second by second.
  • Automated Grid Connection Testing Through seamless integration with planning tools like NEPLAN, you evaluate and approve grid connection requests for new generation sources or consumer loads fully automatically, without media disruption, and in record time.
  • Complete System Integration Standardized adapters and a wide range of connectors secure, upon request, the bidirectional data exchange with your GIS, grid planning, ERP, CLS, and network control systems (such as PSIcontrol, PSIprins, or NEPLAN).
