Axceleon and Power Technologies Inc. Partner to Deliver Grid Computing Solution for Top Global Electricity Transmission Company.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 2003 Axceleon's EnFuzion and PTI's Power Systems Simulator for Engineering (PSS/E) chosen by Powerlink Queensland Axceleon (www.axceleon.com), leaders in computational grid software, announced today that Powerlink Queensland, one of the world's most reliable, high-voltage energy transmission networks, has deployed Axceleon's EnFuzion along with PTI's Power System Simulator for Engineering (PSS/E). Network utilities, such as Powerlink, currently use EnFuzion to automate and speed up calculations of power transfer limits throughout their networks. By deploying EnFuzion, these corporations are able to save a great deal of time and resources. Due to EnFuzion's flexibility, Powerlink has been able to deploy it with power system simulation Power system simulation models are a class of computer simulation programs that focus on the operation of electrical power systems. These computer programs are used in a wide range of planning and operational situations including: v. re·as·sem·bled, re·as·sem·bling, re·as·sem·bles v.tr. 1.

Notes: A good example is the hospitality industry (hotels, restaurants, etc), they are considered to be very people-oriented. See also: Capital Intensive, Trading Dollars and susceptible to error. EnFuzion has allowed the tasks to be automated in a seamless way, eliminating the errors. "Axceleon is finding that EnFuzion integrated with a world class product such as PSS/E from PTI PTI - Portable Tool Interface is perfect for the energy sector," said Michael Duffy Michael Duffy may refer to:
"Axceleon has facilitated the use of PTI's world leading transmission planning tool, PSS/E in the most novel way," said Michael Edmonds, Vice President at PTI. "We're actively working on a number of projects to utilize PTI's software in new and different approaches to the market." "Powerlink's use of EnFuzion is a great example of a growing trend to consolidate IT costs by utilizing grid computing grid computing, the concurrent application of the processing and data storage resources of many computers in a network to a single problem. It also can be used for load balancing as well as high availability by employing multiple computers—typically personal to manage and execute compute intensive jobs faster and more accurately," said Bill Claybrook, Research Director at Aberdeen Group Aberdeen Group is a provider of business-related research services. It has its headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts and belongs to the Harte-Hanks group. Founded in 1988, Aberdeen's research is used by over 2. . "Grid computing technologies allow corporations the ability to become more productive, while utilizing existing infrastructure." About EnFuzion (http://www.axceleon.com/products.html) Axceleon's EnFuzion gives companies, such as Powerlink, the ability to turn existing IT infrastructure into high-speed, fault-tolerant, highly available supercomputers. EnFuzion automates parametric studies, where the same application is executed several times with multiple sets of input parameters. Parametric studies are labor intensive and subject to errors. With EnFuzion, users are able to reduce time consuming manual tasks, eliminate errors and deliver results faster. EnFuzion works with Windows, Linux and Unix based Refers to a Unix operating system. The operating system may comply with the UNIX specifications governed by The Open Group, such as Sun's Solaris, or it may be an operating system based on the architecture and principles of Unix, such as Linux. operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. , and utilizes all available computing hardware, including idle desktops, dedicated servers, rack mounted servers and blade servers.
