Integrate and secure your grid with a flexible and proven Orion solution.

• The easiest way to access and share substation data
  Orion simplifies the access of data from IEDs in the substation and serving of data to enterprise clients.
• The Un-PC HMI
  Orion Direct Video requires no substation PC; just connect monitor, keyboard and mouse to Orion.
• Situational awareness at a glance
  Orion Tile Annunciator provides a flexible, software based solution.
• Put all your eggs in two baskets
  Orion Redundancy ensures interruption-free local HMI, and stream of data from the substation to the enterprise.
• Let us make automation even easier
  NovaTech provide services for the design, assembly, FAT, installation and commissioning of RTU panels for faster project execution.
• Do it all in one box
  A single Orion can serve multiple roles in the substation - SCADA, HMI, Local Logic, Intelligent Alarming, Sequence of Events, Distribution Automation including FLISR and Feeder Automation Schemes - reducing development and wiring costs.

Affordable & scalable SCADA

• SCADA is easier than you think
  Get the visibility you need to run your operation, quickly and at a reasonable price. Orion SCADA includes one Orion at the Enterprise level, multiple Orion substation RTUs, engineering services to get started, and our world-class support comes standard.
• MultiSpeak support
  The industry standard protocol, MultiSpeak, enables Orion SCADA to send breaker status, fault data, alarms, and other SCADA data to Outage Management Systems, Dispatch and Meter Data Analysis packages. Users can buy best-in-class enterprise management software products and be certain they will all work together.
• Scale with minimal effort
  With Orion SCADA, you can start with a small, basic SCADA system for your most important substations, and then add in more later. With each added substation RTU, you can just map in the new points, add the one-line diagram and any new IED faceplates, and add new alarm and archive points.

The next paradigm in SCADA and substation automation

The substation’s first virtual everything

• Out of the box
  OrionVX is OrionOS - the common firmware, software options, protocols, and configuration common to all Orions - in a pure software form. OrionVX runs on standard servers in the substation, in the enterprise, or in the cloud.
• NovaTech is a proud member of the vPAC Alliance
  The Virtual Protection and Control Alliance (vPAC) mission is to develop an interoperable, standards-based platform for the next-generation smart grid. Using virtualized versions of standard solutions and software-defined technologies, participants can build out the adaptive, intelligent tools and algorithms needed for the grid of the future.
• From the enterprise
  The power of IT-grade servers can expand the capability of Orion, enabling it to take on the largest front end processing applications, and to serve valuable power and asset data to more users. A virtual Orion can also be added to the user EMS, ADMS, or DERMS, adding the full power of Orion protocols and software
• In the substation
  Hardened, redundant servers will host the OrionVX RTU/HMI applications as well as applications for protection & control, Phasor Measurement (PMU), asset monitoring, recording, and power analysis. Merging Units and Process Interface Units (PIUs), distributed throughout the substation, will stream digitized, real time data to and from breakers, transformers, and other apparatus.

Intuitive Data Access and Controls for Grid Scale PV

• Monitoring and control with a single Orion platform
  Orion monitors and controls solar plants up to 40MW. Orion receives Automatic Generation Control (AGC) commands from balancing authorities and communicates with inverters, BESS, and meters to control and monitor frequency, MW, MVAR, and MVA.
• Serve power data. Where, when & how you need it.
  Orion serves as the RTU, HMI and relay communications processor for solar and wind plants developed by largest renewable energy companies. All utility clients - relay engineers, EMS operators, asset managers - receive data they require.
  
  

Decarbonizing maritime ports

• Kicking the diesel habit
  Watts Marine (Kingston, WA) produces complete “cold ironing” systems to provide grid-based shore power to cruise ships while in port, instead of running diesels.
• Under control
  Our systems include Bitronics instruments for power measurement, panel display and recording, and Orion Automation for control, HMI and RTU functions. NovaTech Systems Engineering ensures it all works together.
• Cleaner and quieter
  Eleven sites are now in operation in seven North American ports. Eliminating ship-based diesel generation with our shore power systems - most often with local hydroelectric sources - has eliminated thousands of tons of CO2 over the past ten years. Other benefits are reduced noise and particulate pollution.

On the right track

• I can see clearly now
  3-line at once, easy-to-read, long-life LED displays that can be read from far away in all substation conditions including bright sunlight. Break the bad habit of squinting to view relay displays
• Add a real display to any IED
  D650 Universal display connects to any IED with DNP3 or Modbus; no CTs or PTs required.
• Keep up on the latest trends
  Bitronics Trend Recoding enables any measurement to be captured over time and easily retrieved and viewed. For example, in substations without SCADA, transformers could be checked for load over a holiday weekend

Better time in less time

• Multi-Constellation Support
  Kronos works not just with the GPS satellite system, but also GALILEO, BEIDOU, and GLONASS. This results in a faster lock.
• Output Flexibility
  • Unmodulated IRIG-B over twisted pair, coax, or fiber
  • Modulated IRIG-B over coax
  • PPS or PPM signals
  • NTP/SNTP on single or dual RJ45 Ethernet ports, with port bonding (Series 2)
  • PTP on single Ethernet port or pair of PRP ports, with SFP transceivers (Series 3)
• Ethernet Integration
  Kronos supports browser-based configuration. SNMP is available for integration into the IT environment. PTP, NTP, and SNTP are available for syncing a devices with the best mechanism they support. Series 3R supports PRP and Series 2R supports port bonding
• High Precision
  The Master Clock achieves 60 ns (99%) maximum time deviation. Antenna cable-delay compensation further enhances accuracy. Series 2 is available with TCXO (Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator), and Series 3 is available with TCXO and or optional OCXO (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator). In holdover, TCXO has typical drift of 9ms/day, whereas OCXO has a typical drift of less than 100µs/day. All clocks also support out-of-bounds alarm when the time drifts more than a specified value.

Easy to use, hard to beat

Dependable precision from the pioneers of digital substation metering.

• Simple setup and configuration
  Bitronics meters emphasize simplicity with intuitive touch-front displays and web-pages for setup, universal wiring, and crisp LED displays. With optional external CTs, you can install without taking an outage.
• Above-and-beyond accuracy
  All products are individually calibrated to maintain 0.2s precision, even when you use external split-core CTs.

Futureproof your substation networks
with IEC 61850 Gigabit switches

• Add more IED without network overhauls
  As substations evolve to accommodate smarter grid solutions, their networks must be scalable to handle increased bandwidth demands. A gigabit-capable switch ensures that the infrastructure can support future upgrades, such as the integration of more IEDs, merging units, phasor measurement units (PMUs), and other high-bandwidth devices, without requiring frequent network overhauls
• Ensure critical signals are delivered instantaneously
  Many applications in substation automation, such as protection relays and automation controllers, require ultra-low latency communication. High-speed gigabit networks reduce transmission delays, ensuring that critical signals, like fault detection or emergency shutdown commands, are delivered instantaneously. This is crucial for maintaining safety and reliability in power systems.
