Case Study: Swissgrid achieves automated day-ahead congestion forecasting and 24/7 grid monitoring with Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions

Swissgrid - Customer Case Study

Swissgrid, the independent coordinator of Switzerland’s extra high-voltage transmission grid, needed to secure continuous, accurate day-ahead congestion forecasting (DACF) across the European interconnected network and to monitor data presence and quality from multiple partners. Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions provided the ICONICS GENESIS32 HMI/SCADA suite (GraphWorX, AlarmWorX, TrendWorX, GenBrowser) plus BizViz, BridgeWorX and WebHMI to support automated DACF workflows, data monitoring and visualization.

Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions implemented a GENESIS32-driven MMI, BridgeWorX workflows with custom blocks and an OPC-compatible file monitor to trigger Siemens PTI PSS/E computations, download national models, and visualize workflow states. The solution enabled continuous 24/7 DACF operations, increased productivity, reduced manipulation errors, offered flexible operator control from full automation to manual intervention, and integrated smoothly with national and international power systems—allowing Swissgrid to improve congestion management and plan future data-mining and web-enabled capabilities.
