Public Lighting Remote Management System for Pitesti Municipality
The system integrates several functions as telemetering readouts, remote
commands and consumption monitoring, in a consistent and scalable
hardware and software solution.

The benefits:

  • Increases the efficiency of the used energy;
  • Reduction of illegal consumption in the public lighting network;
  • Optimizes the cost of the consumed energy;
  • Enables the client to have the status of active eligible consumer;

VPP with Hydro / CCPP and Wind Power Plants national-wide
A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) with a portfolio of renewables such as wind and solar power plants, combined with a controllable generation facility, such as a gas-fired Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) is ideal for complementing the stochastic behavior of renewables with a deterministic energy production.

The detailed simulation of such a VPP has been extensively performed in typical days of a year, based on real-time data for wind production and on advanced VPP algorithms for controlling the total production, such that the whole being acting as a predictable and efficient power plant. The simulations have shown a high potential for reducing balancing costs, while meeting the contractual arrangements of the VPP.

VPP between Hidroelectrica HPPs and OMV Petrom 860 MW CCPP Brazi with extended time SCADA functionality
The application takes advantage of the complementarity between the flexibility of Hidroelectrica’s Hydro Power Plants and the OMV Petrom 860 MW CCPP Brazi working under restricted conditions.

With the SIRIUS-SGS platform a balancing support functionality is provided inside the VPP, such that the balancing services acquired from the centralized market are widely reduced.

EDEN

EDEN is a package of software applications for acquisition, processing and reporting of energy data, supporting the energy business of suppliers and energy consumers.

EDEN is a versatile platform covering a wide range of applications of metering systems:

  • entry-level small applications of up to 10 meters, usually for industrial consumers requiring the management of their energy consumption;
  • medium size applications of up to 100 meters, for bigger industrial consumers and for energy supply companies which need the metering data for energy metering business;
  • large size applications of 500 – 10.000 meters or more, for very big industrial consumers and energy supply companies.

The EDEN software package is developed on Windows platform with Open Source components like SQL database, PHP and Open Office. It has a scalable, logically and /or physically distributed architecture. With this architecture the customer can incrementally invest in his metering system starting from a basic system for his today needs and migrate later to a medium or largely scaled system when the business requires an increased metering infrastructure and functionality.

In complex applications a flexible architecture can be implemented with both distributed or concentrated servers, allowing parallel processing for an increased data stream.
