Electrical Grid Control Center
Replacement of legacy SCADA systems
Client: One of the largest TSOs in the EU, Germany
Multi-TSO
platform built with several transmission operators
Real-time
monitoring and visibility across the network
↓
downtime, manual intervention and error rates
Challenge
Growing grid complexity, renewable integration and rising data volumes outpaced the existing energy management systems. Stricter EU regulations and coordination demands added to it: the outdated monolithic SCADA had to give way to something flexible and scalable.
Solution
A modular, microservices-based platform replacing legacy SCADA and EMS, built on event- and data-driven integration. Developed in collaboration with TSOs as a shared ecosystem of modules — voltage control, optimal power system operation, state estimation, network reduction, contingency analysis, congestion management and more.
Implementation
- 01Full replacement of legacy SCADA, EMS, LFC and scheduling tools
- 02Monoliths broken into modular microservices with loosely coupled, event-driven integration
- 03Reusable monitoring, control and alarming modules, extended or replaced independently
- 04Shared time-series and event storage across all modules
- 05Built with multiple TSOs to ensure reusability, scalability and compliance
- 06Significant contribution to open-source grid analysis frameworks
Business impact
Enhanced flexibility and scalability of grid operations
Real-time monitoring and visibility across the network
Full compliance with evolving EU and national regulations
Improved coordination between markets and TSOs
Better reporting, outage management and financial insights
Reduced downtime, manual intervention and error rates
