CIGRÉ 2008

Efacec has participated in CIGRÉ 2008, the International Council on Large Electric Systems, which took place between August 24^th and 29^th, in Paris, France.

Efacec was present with its own booth, in which the following Units have participated: Automation, Switchgear and Power Transformers. We have received very important visits, with a very high business potential, resulting in a very successful participation.

The Automation Unit could demonstrate its range of solutions within the scope of Substation Automation, highlighting the implementations according to the SUBSTATION + concept, namely in compliance with the IEC 61850 standard.

In our booth, we demonstrated a Substation Automation System based on CLP 500, a diskless and fanless platform with a WEB based human machine interface.

We also highlighted the national and international experience of Efacec, namely in the implementation of automation and management solutions for transmission electric power networks.
