Real-Time Dynamic Security Assessment (DSA) for Smarter Grid Operations

Integrated with EMS.
Powered by Field-Tested Analysis.

The Online Application connects directly to your EMS or SCADA system, using solved powerflow cases from the state estimator. Security assessments are performed automatically, either in a user-defined cycle or triggered by system events.

Results are visualized in DSA Manager or delivered back to your EMS display, stored in a real-time database, or archived for post-event analysis and operator training.

Designed for Accuracy and Speed

Designed for Accuracy and Speed

Unlike other platforms, DSATools™ does not rely on simplified modeling shortcuts that may overlook critical system behaviors. Instead, it uses full-model simulation, supported by:

  • Distributed computation across high-performance multi-core servers
  • Parallelized assessment tasks for scalability
  • Support for history and forecast cases alongside real-time snapshots
Cross platform Expertise

Key Online Capabilities

  • Identify critical contingencies and system risks in real time
  • Recommend preventive or corrective control actions
  • Assess SPS performance and renewable integration limits
  • Provide operators with clear, color-coded visualizations of violations
  • Synchronize with dispatcher training simulators (DTS)
  • Integrate with PI or other real-time databases
  • Enable “study mode” to explore future or archived scenarios offline
