Optimize your portfolio and forecast your non-dispatchable resources. Bring them to the market and maximize your profit. Execute the market results at minimum costs.

Spectrum Power jROS is a suite of applications on one common platform. It includes various algorithms of mathematical optimization and forecasting. They are well proven and in operation on different markets in Europe and the world. A modern user-friendly UI supports easy usage and fast implementation.

The Spectrum Power jROS tool includes:

• An integrated platform for forecasting and planning of resources, generation and trading activities on electricity and fuel markets.
• Spectrum Power jROS / RO Resource Optimization for month-ahead and year-ahead optimization of resources (water, fuel) and optimal contracts (electricity, fuel), on bilateral and spot markets. For meeting the challenges of ever-increasing shares of renewable power generation and volatility of the markets it can be extended towards stochastic optimization, too.
• Spectrum Power jROS / HTC Hydro Therma Coordination for day-ahead and week-ahead scheduling of hydro-thermal (cogeneration) power generation systems.
• Spectrum Power jROS / STWPF Short Term Wind Power Flow for day-ahead and week-ahead forecasting of wind power production. 
• Spectrum Power jROS / STLF Short Term Load Forecast for day-ahead and week-ahead forecasting of non-dispatchable loads and renewable generation resources. 

Spectrum Power jROS can be implemented as a component of the Spectrum Power control system. This allows you to execute generation schedules through its SCADA and Automatic Generation Control (AGC) modules. 

Municipalities and multi-utilities have to manage an increasing number of uncertainties due to energy market liberalization and increasing pressure towards sustainability. Your value orientation as a company has to be aligned with environmental and climate protection. At the same time, you are under more pressure than ever to provide reliable and safe power, gas, heating, cooling, and water supply. 

Spectrum Power supports multiple commodities with the most advanced planning and analysis tools, as well as the seamless integration of renewable energy. It offers numerous functions for all supply areas.

• Reliable forecast plus after-the-fact applications for electricity, gas, water, and district heating
• Advanced applications, such as leakage detection and reservoir management
• Water supply management to minimize operating costs and secure high quality
• Load management of gas for optimal use of purchases, considering dispatchable reserves, loads, and own generation while securing uninterrupted supply
• Multi-utility merging of existing control centers into one unified solution for multiple commodities

The benefits:

• Higher planning reliability due to better predictability of the network, demand, and supply
• Utilities empowered to efficiently deal with mergers and third-party services, as well as regulation requirements
• Increased stability and quality of supply while minimizing operational and contractual costs

Whether mass transit or mainline, transport services worldwide have to optimize their business while at the same time face the challenge of ensuring smooth, reliable operation of traction power supply and station facilities. Spectrum Power™ ensures smooth, reliable and economic operation of your traction power supply. 

The Spectrum Power SCADA suite provides a reliable energy supply at highest security, safety and quality standards. A comprehensive set of applications helps you to continuously strengthen the power system against contingencies: 

Spectrum Power 

• provides for increased stability and quality of energy supply and maximum security, safety, and quality standards 
• includes intelligent interlocking and switching procedure management with process element disposal locking 
• features network model & state estimator, closed-loop optimization of load distribution and reactive power flow, and helps rail operators prepare their systems to withstand contingencies 
• assures minimized operational and contractual costs 

• ensures a secure power supply for airports, industrial estates, and industries such as mining, pulp & paper, oil & gas, chemicals and steel, guaranteeing maximum production output 
• features standardized, robust, secure, easy-to- use technology 
• includes smart data engineering for reduced TCO 
• allows existing energy contracts to be optimally exploited through switchable load and power generation 
• includes standard interfaces such as OPC for complete access to the world of industrial automation 

Operating an energy market means balancing the complex interests of the public, the market participants, and the market operator:

• Public interests include reliability of the electric energy supply and the macroeconomic demand for the lowest market-clearing price.
• Market participants need to optimize investments, increase operational efficiency, and have timely access to highly accurate information.
• Market operators need to be highly efficient in running complex operations, flexible in adjusting market rules, and proficient in coordinating grid security while providing highly available market operations.

With Spectrum Power Energy Market Management (EMM), Siemens helps market operators to find the right balance. The system incorporates the latest market clearing technology in a set of modular, high-performance components and engines.

At the core of EMM is the Market Clearing Engine, based on the Security Constrained Unit Commitment software. Built-in flexibility enables the use of the same market-clearing engine in multiple structures such as a day-ahead or a real-time market. Both the operator and participants interact through the Market Participant Interface, a secure Web portal.

The components of Spectrum Power™ EMM are best deployed as an integrated solution; however, each can be individually applied to an existing market management system to preserve investments already made in your systems.

The benefits: 

• Matches the needs of operators
• A highly modular solution
• Lower market prices
• Optimized business processes
• Increased grid reliability for LMP-based centralized markets
