AXCELEON, PTI PARTNER FOR GRID
SOLUTIONS
Axceleon, leaders in computational grid software, announced that Powerlink
Queensland, one of the world's most reliable, high-voltage energy transmission
networks, has deployed Axceleon's EnFuzion along with PTI's Power System
Simulator for Engineering (PSS/E).
Network utilities, such as Powerlink, currently use EnFuzion to automate
and
speed up calculations of power transfer limits throughout their networks. By
deploying EnFuzion, these corporations are able to save a great deal of time
and resources.
Due to EnFuzion's flexibility, Powerlink has been able to deploy it with
power
system simulation software such as PTI's PSS/E. Powerlink is using these two
products to automate and speed up tasks associated with performing power
system simulations as part of the process for derivation of complex multi-term
network limit equations. Prior to EnFuzion, Powerlink engineers had to
subdivide simulation runs into separate batches, dispatch these to separate
PCs, monitor their progress, and then reassemble the results from each of
these batch runs. The process was labor intensive and susceptible to error.
EnFuzion has allowed the tasks to be automated in a seamless way, eliminating
the errors.
"Axceleon is finding that EnFuzion integrated with a world class product
such
as PSS/E from PTI is perfect for the energy sector," said Michael Duffy,
President and CEO at Axceleon. "We are very happy to be providing Powerlink
with a solution that offers them uninterrupted service, and allows them to
execute tasks faster and easier."
"Axceleon has facilitated the use of PTI's world leading transmission
planning
tool, PSS/E in the most novel way," said Michael Edmonds, Vice President at
PTI. "We're actively working on a number of projects to utilize PTI's software
in new and different approaches to the market."
"Powerlink's use of EnFuzion is a great example of a growing trend to
consolidate IT costs by utilizing grid computing to manage and execute compute
intensive jobs faster and more accurately," said Bill Claybrook, Research
Director at Aberdeen Group. "Grid computing technologies allow corporations
the ability to become more productive, while utilizing existing
infrastructure."
About EnFuzion
Axceleon's EnFuzion gives companies, such as Powerlink, the ability to turn
existing IT infrastructure into high-speed, fault-tolerant, highly available
supercomputers. EnFuzion automates parametric studies, where the same
application is executed several times with multiple sets of input parameters.
Parametric studies are labor intensive and subject to errors. With EnFuzion,
users are able to reduce time consuming manual tasks, eliminate errors and
deliver results faster. EnFuzion works with Windows, Linux and Unix based
operating systems, and utilizes all available computing hardware, including
idle desktops, dedicated servers, rack mounted servers and blade servers. For
