Landsnet has been using the solution from Sareye in its role to oversee and operate the Icelandic power grid since 2015 with good results. The integration of Sareye has proven to be very valuable in both everyday operation and particularly in disturbance situations where Sareye is the main tool by which Landsnet control center logs and distributes operational information to those who need it in the field. In addition, due to the flexible nature of the software, we were able to consolidate the functions of several single-function software applications into the Sareye system. All in all, the Sareye software is a useful addition to the Landsnet control center system and the Sareye team has been very dynamic in servicing and developing the software to better suit our operation.

Landsvirkjun is the largest supplier of electricity in Iceland. It is owned by the Icelandic state and processes 75% of all electricity used in Iceland. Landsvirkjun has been using the Sareye system for over a year to handle the communication between the generation scheduling department, the dispatch center and the generating stations. The communication is mainly concerned with that state of the generation system and the transmission system, i.e. information the status of units, plans regarding the generation, plan and unplanned outages, etc.
With the help of Sareye Landsvirkjun has achieved the following success points:
- A communication system that is easy to learn to use.
- A system that is easy to adapt to our business.
-
Communication is possible on a group level instead of one-to-one level, so no important parties are left out.
- Logging of communication.
-
Easy to follow up the logged history of certain events or work-processes in the system.
-
Easy to activate response to certain alarms or events through some automatic SMS-messages or email.
Overall Landsvirkjun has had a very good experience with the Sareye system and is very satisfied with it.

I am writing to recommend the services of SAReye. SAReye has provided the Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Management for the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police (NCIP) with the SAReye project and disaster management platform since august 2014
The platform has proven to be a robust and innovative tool for our daily operations and a valuable coordination tool in our National Crisis Co-Ordination Center. Iceland is a society faced with numerous natural hazards e.g. arctic storms, avalanches, floods, volcanic and seismic activity to name a few. The SAReye platform was implemented just in time for the august 2014 Holuhraun eruption and greatly facilitated gaining necessary overview of the ongoing situation. The platform was used for 182 consecutive days of operations during the eruption and has since been used with outstanding performance in all our operations for the coordinate center and all regional offices.
I feel confident in recommending the SAReye services and products. The company has domain expertise in public safety and business continuity and have proven to be very flexible and resourceful.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Hjálmar Björgvinsson. Chief Superintendent - Department Manager Civil Protection.
