Use Case 2

Differentiators

Incremental Deployment

The system’s modularity allows it to easily scale from a single substation network to a large regional or national system supporting dual and triple location redundancy for increased resilience. The system can be deployed incrementally in the knowledge that it can meet larger, future requirements.

Realtime Network Analysis

The system is unique, in that it is continuously analysing the current network state and the alternative N-1 states, evaluating the thermal and voltage ratings, network transients and fault levels to determine the optimal network operation.

End-to-End Platform

TwinGrid is a full solution platform offering robust field hardware, substation and enterprise level software and complete design and integration services. The Platform covers Level 1 DER Controllers, Level 2 Substation Controllers and Level 3 and Level 4 Enterprise Software.

DMS / SCADA

Decentralised

System Deployed at Level 2 with a datalink to the DMS/SCADA system. The Level 1 DER Interface is managed directly by the Level 2 Controller.

Centralised (Direct)

System Deployed at Level 3 with a datalink directly from the DMS/SCADA system. The Level 3 System interfaces with the DMS / SCADA System. Automation is deployed centrally.

Centralised (Dual)

System Deployed at Level 3 with DER datalinks directly from the DMS/. SCADA system and from the L3 System itself . The Level 3 System also interfaces with the DMS / SCADA System. Automation is deployed centrally.

Centralised (Hybrid)

System Deployed at Level 3 with both a datalink directly from the DMS/SCADA system and the system itself. The Level 3 System interfaces with the DMS / SCADA System. Automation is deployed centrally and optionally deployed at Level 2.
