openXDA 3.0 Suite of Tools
With the openXDA 3.0 Suite of Tools, GPA offers everything necessary to collect, automatically analyze and store event and interval data from digital fault recorders, power quality meters, relays and other substation devices. GPA products cover the range from data collection via data processing and storage to reporting and alerting utility personel.
openHistorian 2.0
The openHistorian is a back office system designed to efficiently archive SCADA, synchrophasor and other process control data to support real-time grid operations and post-operation analysis. The openHistorian is optimized to store large volumes of time-stamped data quickly and efficiently.
openPDC
The openPDC is a high-performance data concentrator platform for managing streaming synchrophasor and other time-series data in real-time. The openPDC has been in production use since 2004. It has a proven performance record and it continues to be on a steep improvement curve. Like all GPA products, the openPDC is open source, with no licensing costs so that the system can be easily tested prior to making production implementation commitments.
SciSync Alpha
GPA has kicked-off a two-year DOE project with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to improve and productize the PNNL-developed "Archive Walker" application that can be used to perform multiple types of analysis using historical synchrophasor data. The project will enable GPA to transform this research-grade application into production-grade open-source software that will be easy for electric utilities to install and use. To be called the the "SciSync", the software prepares phasor data for analytics through bad-data detection and other signal filtering techniques, allows scaling and down-sampling of this data, and then flexibly allows event detectors and other analytics to be run against this conditioned data. SciSync is an acronym for "Scientific Tools for Advanced Synchrophasor Data Analytics".
A better way to utilize and process grid data.
Open Source
GPA is a leader in the creation of Open Source Software (OSS) for electric utilities through collaborative development projects involving electric utilities, proprietary software vendors, research organizations and academia. GPA's OSS products and software components are easy for vendors to incorporate into their proprietary product offerings. GPA's OSS also supports the academic R&D business model and can be used to create new intellectual property. All GPA OSS is made available to users under the permissive MIT License.
Reliability and Innovation
GPA has a track record of innovation and has both participated in and led major software development projects with client utilities and the federal government. Since its inception in 2010, GPA has successfully developed a suite of products that are in production use supporting grid operations.
Maintenance and Service
In addition to custom application development, GPA offers services for installation, set-up, integration and on-going maintenance of its open source software. These services include 24x7 support and diagnostic services allowing clients around-the-clock access to GPA's technical experts.
Integration with other Systems
GPAs software is not only able to handle data managment and storage as an isolated system but can also integrate with a large variety of other Systems. Most utilites use a variety of Software vendors and technologies. GPAs goal is to make integration with all these Systems as simple as possible. By providing integration services, GPA's applications can ensure Utilites get the maximum value out of their PQ and Synchropahsor data even if it is distributed across multiple systems and technologies.
