Genscape Launches Frequency Event Monitoring Service
LOUISVILLE, KY, Monday 7/4/2007 - Genscape Inc., the nation’s first and only supplier of real-time power plant output and transmission status information today, is announcing the launch of its Frequency Event Outage Service.
The service is based on direct measurements of generation and power flows on the distribution side of the Power Grid to capture large frequency drops. The service alerts the user of a major trip within seconds on a pop-up screen. If the plant in question is not covered by the current Genscape service, the customer can reference a map which includes all U.S. power plants to help pin-point the outage. Genscape originally released the service in the Eastern Interconnect in April 2007 and now is releasing versions for the West and Texas regions.
“We are excited to bring even more valuable information to the U.S. power market with the launch of our Frequency Event Outage Service. Our goal is to monitor the entire grid with both our current Genscape North American Power Service and our Frequency Event Outage Service,” said Sean O’Leary, Genscape’s CEO and co-founder.
“The Frequency Event Outage Service significantly increases the value of our current power products by giving our customers information on all sudden power plant trips in North America, with additional information available on those facilities we currently monitor, in a matter of seconds following the event. It is literally a “Genscape for Genscape” for our users and the response to the product has been amazing”; said Mike McAuliffe, Genscape’s V.P. of Sales. McAuliffe noted that about 20% of all of Genscape real time customers have already added this service to their subscriptions.
