Energex
Australia

SNC-Lavalin ECS was contracted to design, supply, install, and commission a new SCADA/DMS for Energex, which operates and maintains the distribution network in southeastern Queensland, Australia. The scope of work includes the delivery of GENe software, documentation and training for the new system, and testing, field installation and adaptation services.

 

Alinta
Australia

SNC-Lavalin ECS was contracted to perform a SCADA/DMS GENe upgrade in Victoria, Australia and provide GENe SCADA software for a new SCADA/GAS system in New South Wales. The two systems will operate as an Enterprise SCADA System. Each system will back-up the other in the case of a disaster.

 


Taipei South FDCS,
Taiwan
The Taipei South Feeder Dispatch Control System (FDCS) for the Taiwan Power Company will be installed in the southern district of Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan, and includes a Satellite Control Centre as well as a Backup Control Centre. The project includes the supply and installation of SCADA/DMS hardware and software, fibre-optic telecommunication system, substation RTUs, and more than 500 pole-top RTUs equipped with fault passage detectors. The FDCS will be used to monitor and control the power distribution network in order to improve the quality and reliability of service; this will be achieved primarily by the fault detection, isolation and restoration (FDIR) application developed by SNC-Lavalin ECS.
 


Provincial Electricity Authority,
Thailand
SNC-Lavalin supplied six new Distribution Management Systems (SCADA/DMS/EMS) to the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) in Thailand. The PEA power system serves more than 12 million customers, and covers 510,000 km2. The scope of work included all computer hardware and software, remote terminal units, communication equipment, the construction of control centre buildings, and other peripheral equipment.
 

Energex
Australia

The SCADA/DMS for Energex, located in Brisbane, Australia, includes applications for Distribution Network Application Subsystem, a Switching Management Subsystem, a Service Call Management Subsystem, and a Load Management Subsystem. The system was sized to handle a network with over 400,000 devices in the distribution network model, including over 150,000 controllable points. The main DMS System provides access to field crews via Windows NT® running on PCs.

 

Canal Zone
Egypt
SNC-Lavalin ECS supplied three turnkey hierarchical SCADA/DMS systems to operate Canal Zone's distribution network. The systems include a Supervisory Centre that is linked via radio to two Distribution Control Centres, which in turn have radio links to 99 substation RTUs and 400 poletop RTUs. The scope of work included RTUs, a data radio system, a completely independent voice radio system, UPS’, civil works, security systems, and fire protection systems.

This project was extended in 2002.
 


Alexandria Electricity Distribution Company
Egypt
SNC-Lavalin ECS supplied four new SCADA/DMS systems, including telecommunication networks and remote terminal units, for the distribution network that serves the city of Alexandria. The scope of work included the control centre hardware and software, a data radio network, an independent voice radio network, UPS, civil works, security systems, and fire-protection systems.
 

Electricidad de Caracas
Venezuela
The SCADA/DMS for the city of Caracas, Venezuela, monitors and controls electricity distribution over a 1,640 square mile area with a peak exceeding 1,600 MW. The distribution network was modelled using a three-phase unbalanced load flow. This network model provides the basis for applications such as Loss Minimization, Load Balancing, and Load Forecast to optimize distribution network capacity. The Load Flow also detects loops and parallels.
 

AGL Electricity
Australia
The Distribution SCADA Master Station for AGL Electricity (formerly Solaris Power) monitors and controls electricity distribution over an area of 1,002 km2, including the greater metropolitan area of Melbourne. The system services some 234,000 customers with a peak demand of 630 MW.

The system hardware, operating system, and database were updated in 2002. The front-end was updated and a back-up system added in 2004.
 


Elektro Maribor
Slovenia
SNC-Lavalin ECS supplied a new SCADA/DMS to Elektro Maribor, one of five publicly owned distribution centers in Slovenia. The utility distributes electricity over 110kV, 35kV, 20kV, and 10kV networks, which together span a supply area of 3,992 km2. The system allows the utility to operate economically while providing superior service to more than 187,000 customers.
 

Elektro Gorenjska
Slovenia
Elektro Gorenjska is one of five publicly owned distribution Utilities in Slovenia. Located in Kranj, in the northwest region of Slovenia, it is the second of five centres to implement a state-of-the-art SCADA/DMS. The Utility is responsible for the distribution of electricity over its 110kV, 35 kV, 20kV, and 10 kV networks spanning a supply area of 2,091 km2. The software, hardware, and services provided by SNC-Lavalin ECS and ENSICO will enable supervisory control, monitoring, and distribution management of the Elektro Gorenjska distribution network, enabling the utility to operate economically while providing superior service to its over 79,500 customers.
 

Reykjavik Electricity
Iceland
This Distribution SCADA Master Station for the Reykjavik Electric Company monitors, controls, and manages electricity distribution for the city of Reykjavik, Iceland. The distribution network was modelled to include both three-phase and single-phase connectivity. This network model provides the basis for applications such as Loss Minimization, Load Balancing, and Load Forecast to optimize distribution network capacity. The load flow also detects loops and parallels.

Hawaiian Electric
United States
This Distribution SCADA Master Station for the Hawaiian Electric Company Inc. monitors and controls electricity distribution for the island of Oahu. This includes the city of Honolulu, the largest city in Hawaii. The system was designed with a distributed, open architecture that maximized the use of recognized international standards as well as commercially available off-the-shelf hardware and software. The system includes a fully integrated relational database. The distribution network was modelled to include both three-phase and single-phase connectivity.

Public Utilities Commission of Scarborough,
Canada
The SCADA/DMS supplied by SNC-Lavalin ECS was used to monitor and control the power distribution network in Scarborough PUC’s service territory with the objective of improving the quality and reliability of service; this was achieved primarily by the DMS applications developed by SNC-Lavalin ECS. These applications provided a means to effectively manage the operation of the distribution system in real-time, and provided planning tools that identified ways to optimize the use of the utility’s resources.
