Transmission & Distribution

Power

Substation communications and automation under IEC 61850, plus power and energy equipment for critical environments — built for transmission and distribution networks.

Scope

Three lines of work

01

Electrical substations

Communications and automation for transmission and distribution substations under IEC 61850 — from architecture design to commissioning.

 02

Converged networks

Converged OT communications, Smart Grid connectivity and ultra-precise time synchronisation for electrical networks.

 03

Power and energy equipment

UPS platforms, the AC 4860, and the electrical panel materials for critical installations.

IEC 61850

Integrated IEC 61850 solutions for electrical substations

Specialized infrastructure for digital substations

We design and integrate communications and automation solutions tailored to transmission and distribution substations, built around the IEC 61850 standard and adapted to the specific requirements of each project.

Our approach goes beyond supplying equipment. We integrate the different technology components needed to build an infrastructure that is robust, secure and ready to support the protection, control, monitoring and automation systems of a modern substation.

From architecture design through to implementation and commissioning, we deliver self-contained solutions that bring communications, time synchronization, connectivity and cybersecurity into a single ecosystem.

Architectures designed for each substation

Every project has different requirements for availability, redundancy, performance, topology, interoperability and security.

That is why we develop architectures specific to each application, integrating Layer 2 and Layer 3 communications technologies, industrial Ethernet networks, fiber-optic infrastructure, time synchronization systems and cybersecurity platforms.

Depending on the needs of the project, solutions can include:

  • Industrial switching and routing infrastructure
  • High-availability redundant networks
  • Cybersecurity and segmentation with industrial firewalls
  • Fibre-optic backbone and distribution
  • Specialized cabling and connectivity
  • High-precision time synchronization
  • Integration of IEDs, protection, control and monitoring systems
  • Communications infrastructure for Station Bus and Process Bus
  • Integration with SCADA systems and control centers
  • Engineering, configuration, testing and commissioning

An integrated ecosystem under IEC 61850

A digital substation requires far more than connecting devices.

The correct interaction between protection, control, communications and monitoring equipment demands an architecture capable of managing critical communications, synchronization, redundancy, availability and security.

We design the communications ecosystem around the requirements of IEC 61850 applications, including architectures for MMS, GOOSE and Sampled Values traffic — so the network is ready for critical automation and protection applications.

Our goal is for every component to work as one integrated solution, not as separate elements.

MMS · GOOSE · Sampled Values

Vendor-independent solutions

We design architectures around the technical and operational requirements of the project, making it easier to integrate technologies from different vendors within the substation ecosystem.

The result is infrastructure that is flexible, scalable and ready to evolve with the needs of the grid.

From engineering to commissioning

We accompany the project through its entire implementation cycle:

  1. 01Architecture design
  2. 02Communications engineering
  3. 03Technology selection and integration
  4. 04Configuration
  5. 05Testing
  6. 06Commissioning

This makes it possible to deliver solutions for new substations as well as modernisation or migration projects towards digital architectures.

In critical electrical systems, communication is part of the protection.

That is why our solutions are designed around four fundamental principles:

  • Availability
  • Interoperability
  • Cybersecurity
  • Reliability
