Germany Pge Selects Tender

ADVA today announced that Portland General Electric PGE is deploying Oscilloquartz PTP grandmaster clock technology as it upgrades to packet-based synchronization and protects its network against GNSS vulnerabilities and cyberattacks while conforming to PNT Executive Order 13905. PGE one of the largest power utilities in the Western United States is using ADVA scalable timing solution to not only enable a smooth transition from legacy synchronization and ensure new levels of accuracy reliability and resiliency but also to timestamp data and control grid substations at the edge. With multi-band GNSS receivers and AI-powered threat detection ADVAs assured PNT aPNT platform helps maintain resilient timing even in challenging circumstances such as deliberate jamming and spoofing attacks. Easy to install and operate the solution also provides multi-source backup including PTP network timing and in-device holdover oscillators for when GNSS signals are unavailable or disrupted.Precise and resilient synchronization is increasingly vital in the power industry. By harnessing new time-sensitive applications and building smarter energy infrastructure we can offer even more to customers across our region. ADVAs Oscilloquartz technology will be a key tool as we continue to lead the way to a more sustainable and affordable energy future for our community said John Lozano senior telecommunications engineer PGE. ADVAs OSA 5420 Series supports our existing synchronization services while also enabling packet time distribution all the way to the edge of our network. With its GPS jamming and spoofing detection it provides a robust yet cost-efficient defense against cyber threats. It also makes maintenance and configuration simple with an easy-to-operate web GUI and customizable database.ADVAs OSA 5420 Series supports our existing synchronization services while also enabling packet time distribution all the way to the edge of our network. John Lozano senior telecommunications engineer PGEPGEs new timing infrastructure will distribute stable and accurate frequency phase and time-of-day information between its power infrastructure data points including PMUs IEDs and substation LAN IEC 61850 communications supporting rapid decision-making and automated assurance. The solution is built on the OSA 5410 and OSA 5420 Series of edgeSync grandmaster clocks. It features multi-band multi-constellation GNSS receivers and supports multiple PTP profiles including substation power and core telecom backup sync while also allowing conversion between them and supporting legacy interfaces. The products are part of ADVAs new aPNT platform integrating threat detection multi-source backup and ADVAs intelligent Ensemble Sync Director as the new trusted standard for PNT service assurance control and visibility.Were proud that PGE is leveraging our synchronization technology and the support of our team as it makes the shift to next-generation timing. With its compact and environmentally friendly design our technology will bring assured and protected synchronization to the edge of PGEs network enhancing efficiency and enabling it to take advantage of emerging smart grid applications commented John Scherzinger SVP sales Americas ADVA. PGEs highly resilient new solution will deliver the nanosecond accuracy and the levels of timing availability required by tomorrows power utilities. It features aPNT capabilities our centralized GNSS monitoring and assurance tool for predictive maintenance and our multi-band receivers with the power to compensate for ionospheric delay variations and protect against GNSS vulnerabilities.
