PowerSYSTEM Server
Advanced Front End Processor for Intelligent Power Grids
The most advanced, versatile, and secure PowerSYSTEM data management server available
Comprehensive Real-Time Data Collection and Secure Access
PowerSYSTEM Server is a Front End Processor (FEP) solution that enables more comprehensive real-time collection and secure access to the information available in an electrical utilities' intelligent PowerSYSTEM and grid monitoring devices.
Key Benefits
Cost-Effective SCADA Upgrade
PowerSYSTEM Server's large, advanced library of SCADA protocol drivers and integrated security capabilities allows utilities to have unparalleled real-time visibility of their entire transmission and distribution system. It provides a cost-effective solution to upgrade your existing SCADA Front End Communication process while helping utilities meet their Smart Grid goals and objectives, and today's security and reliability regulatory requirements.
Non-SCADA FEP Capabilities
PowerSYSTEM Server can also be used as a non-SCADA FEP to collect and interface previously stranded IED data directly with utility data historians and asset management systems, independent of and without burdening a utility's SCADA system.
Multi-Function Integration
Multi-function FEP solution that performs data concentration, protocol translation, centralized event file collection, and enterprise data integration. PowerSYSTEM Server unifies the centralized real-time SCADA and non-SCADA data collection for your entire grid.
High Availability
High-availability, redundant PowerSYSTEM Server solutions provide the reliability you need for these critical applications. Avoid the limitations of many SCADA vendor-specific FEPs with PowerSYSTEM Server's true multi-vendor communication capabilities.
Maximize IED Investment
PowerSYSTEM Server enables utilities to get more out of their existing IED investments by helping to deliver all the important data they contain directly to the people that need it, versus having them go to the substation to get the data.
Enhanced Asset Management
Implement more effective condition-based management of aging power system assets using PowerSYSTEM Server to provide greater real-time and historical visibility of all the equipment monitoring information available from IEDS.
Future-Proof Technology
PowerSYSTEM Server enables utilities to seamlessly migrate and evolve with technological change due to its wide support of legacy protocols and advanced support of today's most popular and future communication solutions such as DNP3.0 and IEC 61850. Avoid technological obsolesce issues of traditional integration solutions with PowerSYSTEM Server which leverages, and evolves with, mainstream networking and computing technologies.
