Emergency/crisis management system, RheinEnergie AG, Cologne, Germany
A concept is under development for a crisis management system (CMS) for the client’s grid operation and maintenance division, provided with a link to its PSI fault-clearance management system. When this is triggered by the CMS in an emergency, pre-specified organizational and technical measures are taken and alerts are dispatched also to external locations. Concept design also considers the client’s organizational structure, by incorporating connections to the control and emergency response systems of other departments to support handling of major emergencies or crises throughout the company.
The control and command functions of the PSI system are likewise extended to place in readiness the required automatic responses in emergency and crisis situations.
