Substation Interrogation & Monitoring System (SIMS) is the central operating console for
software functions relating to a particular substation be it electricity, gas or water.
It serves as the control point to manage
substation operations including management
of engineering configuration and
maintenance requirements, management of
ALL third-party software used for control of
relays and other substation equipments, as
well as the repository of engineering
knowledge and documentation including
standards, practice and guidelines.
This industrial grade software becomes the main operational dash-board whenever a
substation is commissioned and operational. All engineering and maintenance operation is
undertaken from here and it secures the computer systems to avoid malicious or
unauthorized access to all software controlling equipments in the substation. Engineers
also have access to all documentation (technical and general) pertaining to the
equipments there and also the setting tools that are provided by all the vendors who have
supplied software tools for management of their individual equipments. All operations are
also audit-trailed and a logged.
SIMS has employed unique ways to make use of technology including;
