by Efacec System

The system to be supplied includes:
- One Control Centre located in Athens, capital of Greece
- 26 Operator Workstations spread throughout the Greek Islands
- 86 Remote Terminal Units (RTU) for distribution substations and power plants

The SCADA/DMS system will include advanced functions, such as:
- Topology Processor
- State Estimation
- Power Flow Calculation
- Optimal Power Flow
- Short Circuit Analysis
- Contingency Analysis
- Dispatching Training Simulator

The system is based on technology integrally developed by Efacec, namely the ScateX+ DMS solution for the Control Centre and the CLP 500RTU platform for the remote terminal units.
This important order reinforces Efacec presence in Greece, in the area of distribution network management and automation, where Efacec is also supplying the SCADA/DMS system that will manage the electric energy distribution network in Attica region, including Athens, as well as Integrated Substation Automation Systems for 5 150/20 kV substations, one of which has already been successfully commissioned.

Efacec wins major Distribution Automation Project in India

Efacec received an order from BESCOM for the supply of equipments and systems for the project of distribution energy network modernization in Bangalore, the capital and largest city of Karnataka state. Bangalore, the Indian “Silicon Valley”, is considered to be the country's technology capital, where more than 1,500 companies and R&D institutions operate.

BESCOM is the Indian utility responsible for the energy distribution in eight districts of Bangalore, a concession area of about 41,000 km2 and a population over 14 million inhabitants.

With supplies provided by Efacec, including a Communication System and SCADA/DMS Network Management Systems, BESCOM will improve reliability, efficiency, safety and quality of service of its energy distribution network of 11 kV.

The project will be developed over 27 months and will involve Efacec engineering teams from Portugal, India and United States. Its contract value is of 23 M$ and includes the installation of the control centres with Efacec technology, and supply of communication system (in partnership with the Finnish Satel). The scope of the project also includes a maintenance contract.
The Efacec solution, based on the latest generation Efacec SCADA platform, includes: Historical Information System, Common Information Model (CIM), Dispatching Training Simulator, Distribution Management System, and Contingency Management System. The systems will interact with third party systems, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and also with the Call Center.
This is the second automation project that Efacec supplies to BESCOM, the first involves the supply, installation and commissioning of 395 Remote Terminal Units.
Efacec Automation designs, develops and delivers products and solutions for the distribution energy networks management, railway systems, technical infrastructure management and other technical applications, having references in the supply of SCADA, DMS, OMS, Distribution Automation, RTU, Substation Automation and Smart Grids in more than 50 worldwide customers.

ENE orders from Efacec substation automation systems for two substations in Angola

Efacec received an order from Angolan company ENE (National Company of Electricity), for the supply of substation automation systems for two substations: Belém do Dango 220/60 kV and Kuito 220/60/30/15 kV.

The solution is based on the CLP 500SAS platform, integrating Efacec fanless station server (UC 500), bay control units (BCU 500), terminal protection units (TPU 420) and third party protection relays.

The proposed solution is based on IEC 61850. All devices will intercommunicate, through the Substation Ethernet LAN, according to the standard protocol and will be time synchronized through GPS signal.

Efacec received orders from Chilectra for the substation automation systems
of transmission and distribution substations in Chile

Efacec received two orders from Chilean company Chilectra, for the supply of two automation systems featuring protection and control.

The first order includes the extension of the El Salto transmission substation 220/110 kV. The system to be supplied is based on CLP 500SAS platform, technology integrally developed by Efacec. The platform integrates fanless station server (UC 500E), bay control units (BCU 500) and third party protection units.

The second order involves the supply of integrated protection and control system for the Bicentenario distribution substation 110/12 kV. The system to be supplied is equally based on CLP 500SAS platform that will integrate fanless station server (UC 500E), bay control units (BCU 500), protection units (TPU 420), and acquisition and control units (UAC 420).
In both solutions, for transmission and distribution substation, all components will intercommunicate through an Ethernet network, according to the IEC 61850 standard, and will be synchronized by GPS.
