Substation Automation System (SAS)
Today, substations are a mix of modern and legacy technologies and devices. There is a strong need for telecontrol, remote management, and standardization of protocols and interfaces between different modules. Luxoft is providing software development services around modeling and testing tools, substation network devices configuration and diagnostic software, creating and testing SCADA systems. This helps Substation automation vendors to create the complete environment to build Smart Substations of the highest level, lowering operational and maintenance costs.
Distribution companies need to improve the reliability and quality of services, meeting regulators’ performance-based rates. This results in heavy investment in the distribution network—mostly upgrading and automating the distribution substations. Many solutions are deployed for advanced metering, bus and feeder protection, SCADA integration, and IEDs testing and configuring. A substation automation system is essential for power management. It is a complex set of hardware, software, and networks that enables data acquisition from the power grid and manages the network of intelligent devices (circuit breakers, reclosers, transformers). Web-based remote monitoring, SMS alerting, GPS-based time synchronization, wireless sensor networks, intelligent circuit breakers, fault detectors, and many others—all these new technologies are deployed to increase service quality.
Luxoft development services to increase network reliability
SCADA development
An efficient SCADA system is an essential part of effective power management, and its development is a business-critical task. With its many years of expertise in developing world-class SCADA components and deploying them at our customers’ facilities, Luxoft is capable of helping any vendor on the market to redesign and modernize their SCADA system and introduce new functionality without time-to-market losses.
Intellectual Electronic Devices Development
The usual substation has deployed a set of modern IEDs and an even bigger set of legacy devices. Very often the level of device management capabilities is not satisfactory. Aging meters and protection units combined with modern ones represent a network that requires considerable effort for monitoring and management—they have to be properly configured, tested, and their clocks synchronized.
Luxoft’s Energy Practice helps build today’s smart substations, helping choose the right technology, deploying and developing automation software, testing IEDs, managing security issues, as well as testing, tuning, and securing Wireless Networks.
Intellectual Electronic Devices Integration
Different devices use different protocols and communication standards, but the Luxoft team can integrate them into a seamless network of interconnected managed and monitored devices, which increases substation reliability and performance.
Data Management
With substations automation, the number of data sources is continually growing and thus the amount of data also growing that has to be processed to improve substation reliability and network utilization. Luxoft helps to manage high volumes of data online and develops complex visualization solutions and frameworks.
