HANNOVER, GERMANY (April 7, 2003) --- GE Power Systems announced today at the Hannover Fair that it is launching the GE Network Solutions ENMAC system to the German power utility industry. ENMAC is a distribution management solution that provides state-of-the art information tools to utility control room staff and management, enabling them to efficiently and effectively manage the real time operation of their distribution networks. Demonstrations at the GE Network Solutions Booth, Booth B06, Hall 12, will include the integration of ENMAC to GE Power System's Substation Automation Remote Terminal Units and to GE Network Solutions Smallworld Core Spatial Technology™ Geographical Information System.
By integrating advanced SCADA and network management applications, ENMAC gives users the ability to substantially improve operational efficiency, providing the potential to consolidate existing control centers or enabling dispersed control facilities to share data and leverage a common support infrastructure. Through its ability to link to other corporate systems such as Customer Information Systems, Call Centers or GIS like Smallworld Core Spatial Technology. ENMAC can provide an enterprise-wide solution for operational staff and asset management.
"The ENMAC product has already achieved significant market success amongst UK and Australian distribution network operators, helping them to reduce operating and maintenance costs, and to meet increasing regulatory pressures," said Henry Stueber, president, GE Network Solutions. "We recognize the potential of ENMAC for German utilities and I see this as an exciting opportunity for us to offer additional value to this market, where our Smallworld(tm) portfolio is already acknowledged as a leading solution."
