StationWare is a data management and documentation system developed by DIgSILENT for electrical substations and related assets. It is designed to centrally manage technical, operational and lifecycle data of primary and secondary equipment within substations. The software provides a structured database environment that allows utilities and grid operators to store, organize and maintain information about equipment, configurations, protection settings and documentation. It supports consistent data handling throughout planning, commissioning, operation and maintenance phases. StationWare is typically used in conjunction with engineering and power system analysis tools to ensure alignment between network models and real-world substation configurations. It helps maintain traceability of changes and ensures structured documentation of substation assets over their lifecycle. The system supports standardized workflows and controlled data access, enabling collaboration between departments such as planning, protection engineering, maintenance and operations.
