E.ON - Romania
Efacec received an important order from E.ON from the Central Europe market, through its business partner in Romania Eximprod. The order includes the installation and configuration of substation automation systems, featuring command and control, for additional eleven 110/20 kV distribution substations.

Both companies are working together since 2008, when Efacec provided the first set of systems for E.ON’s distribution network automation.

The solution is based on the CLP 500SCC platform, the distributed solution for automation, control and protection. The platform integrates Efacec bay control units (BCU 500) and existing third party protection relays.
All components will intercommunicate through an Ethernet network, according to the IEC 61850 standard. The substations master unit will communicate with the upstream control centre (SCADA) through the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. The devices synchronization will be performed by GPS.
This important order strengthens the Efacec presence in Romania and demonstrates how this company relies on our systems and solutions.

Luz del Sur - Peru
Efacec received an important order from Luz del Sur (Latin America market), the Peruvian company responsible for the electric power distribution in the southeast area of Lima.
The order includes the installation and configuration of substation automation systems for several distribution substations, as well as training for Luz del Sur staff.
This is a very important order for Efacec since it’s the first order from the Luz del Sur.
The solution for each substation is based on the CLP 500 platform, integrating the following Efacec technology components: station server (UC 500E), human machine interface (HMI 500) and bay control units (BCU 500).
All platform components will intercommunicate, through an Ethernet network, according to the standard protocol. The device synchronization will be performed by GPS.

Sonelgaz - Algeria
Efacec received two very important orders from Sonelgaz, (North Africa market), the Algerian company for generation, transmission and distribution of electric power.

The first order, where the main contractor is Efacec Engineering, includes substation automation systems for the following substations:
-
New 60/10 kV Batna Est substation
-
Expansion of 60/30 kV Bouhenni substation (additional 60/30 kV transformer bay and construction of the 30 kV distribution substation)
-
Expansion of 60/30 kV Reghaia substation (additional 60/30 kV transformer bay and construction of the 30 kV distribution substation)
  
-
Replacement of El Hadjar PCG system (Grouped Substation Control system in order to supervise and control up to 20 neighboring substations)
  
The Automation Business Unit scope of supply comprises automation systems, based on the CLP 500SCC platform, integrating Efacec bay control units (BCU 500), as well as protection systems (Efacec 420 product family) and from third parties. The Grouped Substation Control system (PCG) at the El Hadjar substation will be based on both CLP 500SCC and SCATE X platforms.
Communications between the station servers, the bay control units and the protections are carried out according to IEC 61850 in each substation. The station server communicates with the upstream hierarchical centre (SCADA) through the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol.
The second order, where the main contractor is Siemens, includes the extension of the 60/30 kV Djelfa substation automation system, including:
-
Two 220 kV line bays
-
One 60/30 kV transformer bay
The Automation Business Unit scope of supply involves new Efacec acquisition units, Efacec and third party protection relays and the upgrade of the existing CLP 500 and SCATE X systems.
The communications between the station servers and the acquisition units are carried out according to the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. Between the station servers and the protections are carried out according to the IEC 61850. The station server communicates with the upstream Grouped Substation Control system (PCG) through the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol.
