SICAM - optimal solutions thanks to system competency
The most important requirements of a power supply today are reliability and profitability. Siemens helps you take power
to its destination reliably and profitably. With Siemens power automation solutions, you will benefit from the competency
of a forward-looking partner.
Every SICAM solution from Power Automation incorporates the experience of more than 20 in power automation and
more than 50 years in telecontrol and substation control and protection. In recent years, we have equipped more
than 5000 substations as part of complete solutions for power suppliers and industry. In many sectors, such as
hospitals, paper mills, airports, and oil refineries, SICAM has been used successfully in applications for reliable
power supply. You will gain from the experience and the world standards applied which will already give you the security
today that you will still be working efficiently and profitably with the right system tomorrow.
SICAM solution concepts for long-term profitability
The precondition for securing profitability long-term are flexible solution concepts based on stable technology. SICAM is
based on the basic components of the SIMATIC, the world market leader in industrial automation, providing a stable and
wide-spread automation platform. Depending on requirements, PC- or PLC-based solutions are configured and adapted
to the stringent demands of a power supply application. Because of the great flexibility of our solution concepts, a SICAM
system can be modified at any time as requirements or operating conditions change. New applications, such as for
example radio telephony or Web technologies for service, teleservice, and system management can easily be integrated
into existing concepts.
SICAM basis for efficient system management
Operation is the real test of the profitability of power automation. Ostensibly low-cost solutions often turn out to be
inflexible in operation and cannot be adapted to more efficient concepts. SICAM offers a platform with which you can
already work today, but still modify simply and inexpensively tomorrow. SICAM solutions worked out with great competence
already give you extensive potential for rationalization today, for example, a more flexible use of personnel and high
utilization of the primary equipment. Solutions already implemented with SICAM show how cost-optimized concepts have
contributed to the economic success of companies under the given constraints.

Electrical power is traded just like any other product, which means it can be evaluated in terms of price and quality.
The aim is to record and evaluate the quantity and quality of supplied energy reliably at all interfaces between power
suppliers and customers so that appropriate action can be taken.
Siemens' products for power quality recording make power quality measurable and ratable.
SIMEAS R a digital fault recorder with multiple talents
Power quality depends on many variables which are precisely defined in international standards. SIMEAS R from
Siemens is a recorder that combines many functions into one unit, for example, fault recorder, power and frequency
recorder, power quality recorder, and log printer. In case of a fault, all relevant analog and digital signals are
recorded with their pre-event history, curve, and post-event history. The data can be transmitted, for example, via
the phone line to an office for archiving and evaluation. The characteristics of SIMEAS R are oriented toward use
in power generation and transmission, and at critical points in power distribution.
