Commander Communications has won a tender to develop an outage system to help manage the New South Wales power grid.

The contract is with TransGrid, which owns and operates the NSW electricity transmission network. Neither the value of the project nor the expected completion date were disclosed.

The system, to be called THEOS (THE Outage planning System), will help with the management of planned and unplanned outages by handling outage requests and prompting the company's outage coordinators of the steps to be taken.

Later phases of the project will automate communication between TransGrid and NEMMCO's (National Electricity Market Management Company's) business-to-business exchange, and improve the automation of reporting to the Australian Energy Regulator.

"THEOS will support TransGrid in continuing to meet world class levels of reliability, by providing business critical information to complement TransGrid’s maintenance program," said TransGrid CIO Gordon Dunsford.
 
Commander will use agile software development methodologies to build THEOS.
 
"This is a very significant software design project in NSW this year and Commander is looking forward to the challenge of completing THEOS to support TransGrid in working to world’s best practice," said Steve Evans, general manager of Commander's enterprise group.
