Unit terminal

A unit terminal is a device that serves to connect the control system of an energy facility with higher-level production control dispatch centers, and in particular to connect with the ČEPS control system for providing balancing services. In addition, the unit terminal provides a number of other functions from balancing, evaluating net production to supporting the balancing services certification process.

The unit terminal is operated as standard in a fully redundant design with high operational reliability. Physically, the unit terminal can be implemented as a physical unit (dedicated HW in a switchboard cabinet), in a virtualized form on the Proxmox platform or in a containerized design on the OpenShift/Kubernetes platform.

To exchange data with the environment, the unit terminal can communicate using a range of industrial protocols (IEC 870-5-101,102,104, Modbus RTU/TCP/IP, etc.).

Important operational data, both measured and calculated, are archived on a local SQL archive server for possible further processing.

For terminals, OSC, a.s. service can be provided 24/7 with an agreed response time.
