Energy
The power sector is the country’s primary life-support system, directly impacting the operational reliability and growth potential of most economic industries. Today’s global energy complex faces unprecedented challenges that require systemic changes in management, technology, and HR policy.
We understand the importance and relevance of these issues for our clients, as Reksoft has been working with major industrial enterprises, including energy companies, for over 30 years.
To make our assistance more focused and robust, we have established a dedicated structural unit for collaborating with enterprises in the energy sector. Our team has years of experience in administering large-scale projects all over the world.

Core functions of a typical SCADA for power
- Dispatch control of operational modes and equipment
- Monitoring and accounting of power resource consumption (electricity, water, gas, heat, steam, etc.)
- Control of operational interlocks, display of safety tags, dynamic line coloring
- Monitoring the health of primary equipment and secondary systems
- Oscillographic data collection
- Report generation and data exchange with production systems and the System Operator of Unified Energy System
New functions that can be added to an existing SCADA
- Automated system for monitoring and analyzing RPA and APCS performance
- Monitoring of APCS measuring channels
- Management of field response teams
- Analysis of outage-related damage
- Video analytics, e.g., for security monitoring, monitoring of non-telemetered facilities
- Shared infrastructure use for IIoT and Edge computing
- Other functions as per client request and ToR
Effects
- Iterative addition of new functions without replacing the core system:
- Cheaper than a complete system replacement
- Payment only for the functions you need
- Reduced dependency on a single vendor
