AAA Platform. Redundancy

GENESIS covers different types of redundancy being aligned with the customer needs. Apart of supporting PRP and HSR allowing the use in such kind of
communications architectures, GPG also work in 2 ways:
 Hot-Standby. Being one the Master and the other the slave. Link through which the token is passed can be also redundant. Master collects the data
downstream and sends data upstream. The switching over time can be 250 ms.
 Hot-Hot. In this case both GPGs work in parallel collecting data from devices downstream and sending data upstream.

In HMI, GENESIS supports to connect up to 50 HMIs collecting data from GPG. When using redundancy in GPGs, the HMI when running in a separate computer
detects automatically the GPG Master.

GENESIS allows also to configure more than one IP address to communicate downstream with the devices that support multiple IP address or when customer
uses redundancy in IEDs downstream. In this case the communication driver of GENESIS running in GPG will establish the communication through the first IP
address and in case of not receiving data driver will switch to the second IP address.

When communication upstream GENESIS provides also redundancy communication through different interfaces.

With all the above and with the robustness of the hardware platform, GENESIS achieves availability ratios of 99,99%

ADVANCED AUTOMATION APPLICATIONS in Utilities and Industry

The electricity industry is undergoing a significant transformation driven by increasing consumer demands. With the proliferation of renewables and distributed
energy resources, the growing use of electronic power elements such as HVDC links and FACTS, new market requirements and a need for more intelligent assets
monitoring, customers are facing new complexities and system challenges.
To address these challenges GE Grid Automation offers a set of Advanced Automation Applications (AAA) embedded in the hardware platform GE Power
Gateway (GPG).
This transforming grid needs innovative technical solutions that can help address these challenges. As a trusted partner, utilities and industrial customers
globally are working with GE to implement solutions that deliver power system reliability, security, efficiency, and cost controls needed to operate the modern
grid overcoming challenges.
AAA offers and Engine embedded in the GPG running in VxWorks as RTOS which with the Goose, C37.118 and IEC61850-9-2 stacks, a very powerful PLC engine
and an embedded or external HMI with the latest features, make that GPG as a very reliable, fast and deterministic solution to execute these kind of
applications. See the Logic Box decription.
Logics, algorithms and HMI are fully configurable. Settings can be customized to be sent from HMI as settings to algorithms.

Across the Utilities GENESIS can execute being not limited the following functionalities, including also Wide Area Monitoring & Protection Systems (WAMPS),
SIPS.
