• A coherent interconnected control system is being implemented to integrate the network control tasks of a total of 9 nationwide regional control centres for the operation of the German Rail's electrical networks.
• The system was designed and put out to tender with the help of CONSULECTRA; it is currently in the implementation phase.
• CONSULECTRA has created a migration concept for the complex switchover and developed operating processes and an emergency concept.

• For the introduction of a network analysis platform, CONSULECTRA conducted an analysis of requirements and subsequently elaborated the specifications.
• The network analysis platform is intended to support the electricity supply system of German Rail by means of mass assessment and archiving of measurement data and fault reports.
• CONSULECTRA gave advice during the EU tender procedure and supports with the elaboration of the functional design specifications and the implementation of the platform.

DB Energie operates an own transmission- and distribution network at high-voltage level (110 kV, 16.7 Hz) for the nationwide distribution of electrical energy. The coordination and monitoring is ensured by the network-control-center "Hauptschaltleitung" (HSL). CONSULECTRA was commissioned to support the planning, procurement and implementation of the HSL and to ensure the functional future-proofing of the control system. The following project phases have been completed to date:

• Preliminary study (pre design planning) for the conceptual design of the renewal of the HSL (2022)
• Preparation of specifications (draft planning) for the renewal of the HSL (2022 - 2023)
• Supporting the tender and bid evaluation for the renewal of the HSL (since 2023)
