Smart Protection System
About
The Smart Protection System (SIPS) is a strategic software and control infrastructure that maximizes the reliability and stability of Turkey's electricity transmission grid. The fact that it has reached the highest level of technology readiness (THS 9) and has been licensed and put into active use by the national grid operator TEİAŞ confirms the success and importance of the system. SIPS plays a key role in the prevention of large-scale and chain-reaction failures.
Product Overview
It is a centralized monitoring and control infrastructure based on wide area monitoring data, designed to protect the integrity of the system during sudden and major failures in electricity networks. By quickly detecting the situation at the time of failure, it automatically performs coordinated control actions to ensure system security.

Technical Capabilities and Capacity
SIPS is a software-based system developed to respond to the complexity and dynamic nature of modern electricity grids.
Wide Area Monitoring
It analyzes the instantaneous state of the grid holistically using synchronized data from different points of the grid (such as PMU - Phasor Measurement Unit data).
Automatic Protection and Control
Based on predefined scenarios, it automatically triggers control actions such as generator or load shedding to prevent system collapse in the event of a fault.
Web Based Monitoring Infrastructure
It offers a user-friendly interface where system operators can monitor the network status and SIPS operation in real time.
Failure Reporting and Recording Infrastructure
It creates a comprehensive database for post-failure analysis and reporting by recording all events and system responses in detail.
Modular and Scalable Design
It allows the system to be easily expanded in parallel with the growth of the network or the emergence of new needs.
- Patent / Licensing Status: For the system Simple Use License to TEİAŞ (Turkish Electricity Transmission Company) has been granted. This means that TEİAŞ has the right to use the system for its own operations.
- Area of Use: It can be used by electricity transmission network operators (such as TEİAŞ) as well as large-scale electricity distribution network operators to improve system security and stability.
