Grid Control
Besides grid monitoring, grid control is the second key capability of grid and system operators and represents the second-most-essential product within the MCCS environment. The Grid Control product aims to manage all relevant control commands (manual to semi-automatic or automatic) that are issued to grid and asset components within the system. That is why Grid Control is divided into two modules that are mutually dependent:
-
ValidationValidation checks that the control sequence is correct, e.g. user privileges, control sequence initiator, interlocking state of the asset itself to execute the control sequence etc.
-
ExecutionExecution sends the correct control sequence, receives status updates and documents the execution in order to adhere to compliance rules.
