Upgrade capability and modern functions for a secure energy supply
Berlin, June 27, 2023 - PSI Software AG has been awarded by Mainzer Netze GmbH with the implementation of the network control system PSIcontrol 4.8. With comprehensive functions, the new system replaces the previous one. A successful factory acceptance test already took place at the end of April.
The delivery includes, along with other important functions, extensive network calculations as well as water management. In addition, the redundant and patch-capable system offers a high level of fail-safety. Using the job technology function, process sequences are now automated and scheduled executions can be planned. In addition, PSIcontrol newly offers users the option of logging in at any workstation and performing data processing.
With the implementation of the integrated PSIcontrol, future requirements for a control system are fulfilled. Significant factors include IT security in accordance with BDEW and the establishment of an information security management system. The update- and upgrade-capable system also offers Mainzer Netze the opportunity to always remain at the cutting edge of technology. As a result, integration and upgrade costs can also be minimized in the future, if only a few project-specific functionalities are ordered.
As a network operator, Mainzer Netze GmbH is responsible for the utility networks for electricity, natural gas and drinking water in Mainz and its region. In addition to planning, the range of tasks includes the construction, operation and maintenance of all supply lines and facilities. In addition, a wide range of other services is provided, such as street lighting, communications technology and innovative solutions in the field of electro mobility.
The PSI Group develops its own software products for optimizing the flow of energy and materials for utilities (energy grids, energy trading, public transport) and industry (metals production, automotive, mechanical engineering, logistics). The industry-specific products, which are built from standard components, are sold both directly and via the cloud-based PSI App Store and can also be customized by customers and partners themselves. PSI was founded in 1969 and employs more than 2,200 people worldwide.
