The network control system for gas networks "Network Manager Gas" enables the easy connection and integration of the classical SCADA functions with multiple application programs for gas transmission networks as well as for gas distribution networks.
For a comfortable and efficient network operation the following Gas application modules are available:
- Simulation and state reconstruction
- Maintenance and workforce management
- Integration of geographical information systems
- Integration of information about historical events
- Interfaces to communication systems and the office environment
The gas control system's openness permits to exchange functional units without big economical and technological effort or to augment new functions and systems. The goal is to integrate all relevant business processes at an absolute secure and yet highly efficient network operation.
The operator of the gas control station has access to all information - comfortable and efficient. In case of an outage or failure, the operator in the control centre is informed automatically and gets all information about the event by one mouse-click.
The user-friendliness is optimized through functions such as
- Zooming of any picture
- Panning (move across the overview picture to see details)
- Decluttering (additional information is shown in deeper zoom levels)
- Coloring of gas network (immediate overview of network components)
