Alstom T&D India will help monitor and control India's electricity supply network with two contracts worth 1 billion INR (€12.5 million) awarded by Power Grid Corporation of India.
Alstom will supply its energy management system (EMS) to enable reliable, secure and efficient operation of the electric power system. The scope of the two contracts covers EMS packages for India's Southern and Western Regional Load Dispatch Centres (SRLDC and WRLDC).
The growth in India's electrical grid capacity requires the upgrade to both 765 kV AC transmission and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission for bulk power transfer. These technologies need to be backed up by equally advanced energy management software. Alstom's EMS ensures overall reliability of the electric power system, through state-of-the-art user interface and situational awareness capacities.
It is anticipated that this will enable PowerGrid operators to make fast decisions using advanced visualisation, information storage and retrieval tools.
