The Network Manager SCADA/EMS system is the optimal control center solution to enable a secure and efficient operation of the electric power system. Network Manager is also an energy information system that provides the decision makers with reliable process information.
Network Manager provides an environment that encourages learning and an improved understanding of the power system and the EMS tools, thus enabling the Operators to manage the power system in an optimal way.
Network Manager’s open and versatile platform allows for easy integration with other utility information systems while maintaining high levels of IT security. Network Manager is the market leading system platform for building control center solutions managing today’s power grids as well as tomorrow’s Smart Grids.
Network Manager is based on ABB’s global experience as the SCADA/EMS supplier with the most extensive reference list. Its modular architecture can be tailored to the needs of each company and provides a smooth migration path for future expansions.
The Network Manager applications are built on an open platform in a component architecture and can be tuned for real-time control and analysis as well as for optimization and planning purposes. These powerful network operation tools facilitate a safe and efficient day-to-day operation while minimizing long term capital expenditures.
Each EMS function is implemented as a separate software package interfacing with the rest of the system through the real-time database. The modularization of the software makes it easy to tailor the system to the user requirements, to define execution sequences and cycles individually, and when the needs grow, to add new software modules from ABB or third-party suppliers.
The Network Manager SCADA/EMS system provides the following major benefits:
- Improved quality of supply
- Optimal utilization of the transmission network
- Optimal allocation of resources
- Improved system reliability
