KEY FEATURES

Advanced control algorithms meeting the demands of modern power systems operations.

⚙️

Automatic Generation Control

Real-time AGC algorithms maintain system frequency by automatically adjusting active power output of generating units in response to grid deviations.

🔋

Automatic Voltage Control

AVC functionality regulates reactive power and busbar voltages across the network, optimising transformer tap positions and generator excitation.

📊

Load Dispatch & Scheduling

Economic dispatch algorithms optimise the generation mix for minimum cost while respecting unit constraints, ramp rates, and grid code requirements.

🖥️

Operator HMI

Intuitive single-line diagram displays with real-time animated data. Operators can monitor the entire power system status at a glance from a single screen.

🔔

Alarm & Event Management

Hierarchical alarm system with configurable priorities, suppression rules, and time-stamped event logs conforming to IEC 61850 standards.

📁

Disturbance Recording

Automatic capture and storage of system disturbances with high-resolution waveform data for post-event analysis and regulatory reporting.

POWER CONTROL MADE PRECISE

SIMHMI-AGC is built on a real-time control engine designed specifically for the demanding requirements of power system operations. Every millisecond counts when managing frequency and voltage — our software delivers sub-second control response times to keep your system stable under all conditions.

The system integrates seamlessly with existing SCADA infrastructure via standard communication protocols, allowing incremental deployment without replacing existing investments. Full redundancy support ensures 24/7 availability for mission-critical applications.

  • Sub-100ms control loop execution
  • Hot-standby redundancy (primary/backup)
  • IEC 61970 CIM compatible data model
  • Integration with energy management systems (EMS)
  • Configurable control zones and pilot buses
  • Historical trend analysis and reporting
  • Compliant with ENTSO-E grid code requirements
