Transmission owners and operators today face challenges due to stringent regulatory mandates, system security concerns and inherent capacity limitations in the face of increased renewable penetration and transfer demands as well as complex and fast changing system conditions. Additionally, they are facing growing cost pressures for minimizing or curtailing operational or capital investments in the transmission asset arena. The need for practical, effective, and reliable tools to help manage these important assets in real-time has never been stronger.

Effective management of these assets involves efficient and holistic monitoring of the complex transmission network; intelligent and reliable security analysis tools for developing effective strategies to avert, mitigate and cope with system emergencies; and well-rehearsed scenarios and well-trained operators to deal with localized or system-wide emergencies, blackouts, voltage collapse, loss of critical equipment, etc.

The EMS applications framework was developed from the ground up for effective real-time use, employing efficient algorithms, effective on-line maintenance tools, intuitive graphics, and user interface techniques, and real-time applications like state estimation and contingency analysis, providing for a powerful security monitoring and analysis environment for transmission operators.

The Operator Training Simulator is the friendliest simulation platform for effective training of system operators. Using detailed dynamic modeling of the power system and an exact replica of the control center environment, system operators can rehearse a full spectrum of system events, emergencies, and restoration techniques in the most realistic settings.

The Planning and Study Tools allow the operators to leverage study analytics to validate and optimize your network, including Power Flow, Equipment Outage integration, Load Forecasts and more
