STCE-RTU

Small, medium, and large-capacity remote control units

(STCE-RTU) are integrated systems for remote control, advanced event and disturbance monitoring, and local automation of electrical grids. Modular, flexible, and compatible with all major protocols, both standard and proprietary, it is the ideal solution for any type of network, even the most complex. It manages information to and from the system in an integrated manner with other electronic devices in the substation, enabling rapid, timely, and flexible communication with grid management centers.

STCE-SG

Modular, secure, and IoT-ready remote control unit

Enable secure remote control, advanced monitoring, data acquisition, and local automation functions in power plants and HV/MV substations with the STCE-SG modular Mini-RTU. The

STCE-SG is a modular Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) designed for mission-critical applications in power plants and HV/MV substations, developed to enable fast and flexible communication with grid management centers.

CCI STCE-SG: Central Plant Controller

Central plant controller, compliant with the CEI 0-16 standard.

The STCE-SG CCI is a specific configuration of the STCE-SG modular RTU. In addition to secure and advanced control, monitoring, and distributed automation functions, the STCE-SG CCI has the advantage of being a Central Plant Controller whose role complies with the resolution of the Italian Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks, and the Environment (ARERA) regarding generation plants.

The Central Plant Controller (CCI) is essential to fulfill Terna's request for compliance in line with Resolution 540/2021/R/eel, which requires real-time monitoring of generation plants connected to the MV grid and with a power output greater than or equal to 1 MW. Prosumers are required to install the CCI, designed according to the technical specifications of the CEI 016 Annex O standard, enabling the collection and exchange of data between Terna, distribution operators, and the plant for the safe operation of the national electricity system.

UPDM: Peripheral Unit of Defense and Monitoring Systems

The DP SELTA device that monitors and defends the national electricity grid

The Electricity System Defense Plan includes corrective action defense systems that implement disconnection actions in response to predefined events or generation modulation.

To this end, a peripheral Defense and Monitoring device (UPDM) must be installed at the generation plants serving the aforementioned defense systems. This device is responsible for acquiring measurements and other auxiliary information, as well as implementing disconnection or generation modulation commands following the receipt of a message from other peripheral remote tripping devices or from Terna's central defense system.

Trax99 has had certified UPDM solutions since 2004 and ensures their technological evolution and updating, particularly with regard to the gradual expansion of functional performance and compliance with the highest cybersecurity standards in the field of remote control.

DP's UPDM device is based on the STCE-RTU device and plays a crucial role in ensuring the stability and security of the Italian electricity grid, helping to maintain its balance and protect against any anomalies.

It is built in compliance with the reference specifications, according to Terna Annexes A52 and A69, and validated by Terna itself according to the TSPSD 0707 specification. It is certified as a type A device in the analog version and A+ in the Gateway version.

SAS: Substation Automation System

Technology, experience, and reliability for the power grid of the future.

Trax99's Substation Automation (SAS) solution is designed to meet the digitalization, operational efficiency, and safety needs of modern power grids.

Based on the IEC 61850 standard, our SAS solution natively integrates protection, control, monitoring, and communication capabilities, offering a flexible, scalable, and interoperable infrastructure.

At the heart of the architecture is the SA100 BCU, a next-generation Bay Control Unit developed by DigitalPlatforms.

BAY UNIT/BCU/BMU

Bay Control Units and Bay Monitoring Units for Substation Automation

The SA100 (Bay Control Unit) and SA200 (Bay Monitoring Unit) are the electronic bay units in the STCE family for substation automation. They are installed in electrical bays and are interconnected via an optical LAN controlled by a substation computer. They represent the ideal system for high- and very-high-voltage power grid operators who need to upgrade their substation control and automation systems to maximize efficiency and service quality.

SCADA Solution

A software platform for monitoring and controlling SCADA networks

SCADA Solution creates monitoring, control, and automation centers for utility networks, integrating all the functions of the most advanced SCADA systems into a single environment. An open, distributed architecture, the ability to define the number of workstations based on the application and the use of processors of varying power with full program and interface compatibility, as well as full configurability based on the type of system and human/machine interface, are the key features that make it the ideal solution for geographically distributed networks.

UVRF: Rapid Frequency Regulation Verification Unit

Rapid Frequency Regulation Verification Unit

DigitalPlatforms' UVRF System was designed to monitor and verify the correct provision of the ultra-rapid frequency regulation ("Fast Reserve") service, according to Terna SpA's specifications.

The UVRF ensures effective management of grid frequency dynamics and contributes to the stability and reliability of the electricity system.

As part of the energy transition, the increase in intermittent, non-programmable renewable energy and the reduction in conventional power generation impacts grid frequency control as well as system inertia. To better address this phenomenon, Terna has begun testing this new ultra-rapid "Fast Reserve" regulation service, aimed at improving the dynamic response of the initial instants during frequency transients, thus supporting the stability of the national electricity system.

STE-D

Apparato a onde convogliate con tele-protezione integrata

STE-D Power Line Carrier with Integrated Remote Protection

the universal power line carrier with integrated remote protection interface, represents the new generation of high-performance analog, digital, and mixed analog-digital power line carriers based on Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology, supporting all applications, from legacy analog to the most advanced digital solutions with a long-term perspective.

SCA

Universal Coupling Device

The SCA is a universal coupling device, compliant with the IEC 418 standard, which allows the connection between an OCV device and the high-voltage power line. It plays a fundamental role in ensuring effective signal transmission in the relevant band between the OCV device and the power line. The SCA guarantees maximum protection of the transmission equipment from power signals and transient overvoltages from the power lines. Coupling can be performed between phase and ground or between phases. Its installation and maintenance are simple and completely safe, and the device is guaranteed to last a long time in outdoor installations.

TPS-3000: Analog and Digital Teleprotection Device

Analog and Digital Remote Protection Devices

Protection requirements are very important in a modern power grid, ensuring the protection of its components, the safety of the entire system, transient stability, and overall operational safety. Protection systems and related automation, primarily consisting of fast and slow automatic reclosing devices, are used to protect the grid from generation to distribution and transmission. The protection device is located at the end of the power line and is designed to isolate faults in HV lines, transformers, reactors, and other system components. It measures voltage, current, and impedance, and, in the event of a fault, opens the relevant circuit breaker to prevent failure and damage to the electrical system. Although they must protect the entire length of the power line, they are set to cover 80% of it to prevent unwanted triggers and resulting power outages.
