Power Analytics Software Installed at ABB Smart Grid Center of Excellence
Power Analytics’ Paladin Live software was recently installed at the new ABB Smart Grid Center of Excellence at N.C. State University’s Centennial Campus to showcase the importance of integrating real-time data and displaying the information in a user-friendly format. The Power Analytics integration display will be presented April 23-26, 2012 at ABB Automation & Power World, ABB’s premier annual customer event held this year in Houston.
The Power Analytics software will communicate with ABB substation automation MicroSCADA Pro equipment using object embedded and linking process control (OPC). OPC is an industrial connectivity standard that enables the transfer of data between automation hardware and software. Power Analytics Paladin Live and MicroSCADA Pro will work in concert to achieve complete functionality for real-time monitoring, management, decision support, and control of primary and secondary equipment in transmission and distribution substations. The information can be displayed locally or remotely using typical web browsers.
