OVERVIEW AND BASIC CAPABILITIES

MODES-Centre is a software suite designed to automate business processes of a distributed generation company, such as consolidation and analysis of weekly, daily and operational schedule data at the level of a control center. This data is usually exchanged between generating company divisions and SO UPS data gateways. The scope of MODES-Centre application includes management generating companies and their branches' control centers, power plants.

MODES-Centre ADVANTAGES

Developed communication capabilities and support for secure and reliable data exchange between the central office, branches, and power plants of a generation company under existing and future regulations
Fast and easy adaptation to changing rules, exchange formats, and regulations
A unified reference about parameters of controlled objects, which is updated via SO UPS data gateway
Support for different time zones in different branches
Data preparation for formation and sending templates to multiple control centers from one generating company office
The solution is based on modern Microsoft technologies for the industry, which reduces cost of installation and ownership
High reliability of data storing and processing
Integration with external software systems
Development and implementation of specialized components and subsystems

SECURITY

MODES-Centre has a flexible and reliable system of authorization that enables differentiation of users' responsibility for each stage of scheduling and sending of scheduled data to a specific power plant.

The logs register all significant events, which let you track user activity for any period of operation of the system.

BASIC SUBSYSTEMS in MODES-Centre

Communication adapter provides interaction with SO UPS data gateways, including sending of prepared models, receive of planning schedules, and notifications
Transport system manages data exchange between internal subsystems and client of MODES-Centre, which might be system clients and external software systems
Data storing management subsystem provides individual rules for storage of different types of data
Events subsystem controls generation and system events storage
Authorization subsystem controls users' access rights
Logging subsystem handles MODES-Centre logs
Business rules management subsystem provides support for the execution of business processes to harmonize data for the preparation of weekly, daily and operational planning templates within the approved routes

ADDITIONAL SUBSYSTEMS in MODES-Centre

Data testing and calculations subsystem provides creation and management of user data validation rules for the templates and performs calculations based on data from MODES-Centre.
Reporting subsystem forms report documents based on MODES-Centre data in popular data formats.
Data export subsystem exports data in *.xml, *.xlsx, *.csv, and other formats.
CK-2007 integration subsystem exports data to SCADA/EMS CK-2007.
