Chapter 1: Introduction
The DS Agile Ethernet products and software applications are designed to meet the
needs of a wide range of electrical substations. Emphasis has been placed on
compliance with standards, scalability and modularity.
These features mean that the products can be used in most applications, from the
most basic to the most demanding. They also ensure interoperability with other
vendors.
GE Grid Solutions provides a range of Ethernet products such as switches, which take
into account the compulsory requirements of electrical substations, including power
supply and immunity to environmental constraints.
GE Grid Solutions provides solutions to specific requirements such as network
redundancy management.
The products can be used independently, or can be integrated to form a DS Agile
system, which is a Digital Control System (DCS).
