Sunnyvale, Calif. -- Axceleon (www.axceleon.com), leaders in computational grid software, announced today 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."
