Sri Lanka's state-owned power generator Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) has awarded a USD 8.7 million contract to Alstom T and D India to monitor and control Sri Lanka's electricity transmission network.
Alstom, according to the Colombo Page web site, will supply its world-leading energy management system, e-terra platform, to enable reliable, secure and efficient operation of Sri Lanka's hydro-thermal electricity system, the company release said.
Under the project, Alstom will build in Colombo a new control center - the National System Control Centre, equipped with supervisory control, data acquisition, and energy management system.
It will install and integrate 34 Remote Terminal Units (RTU) with the new system and integrate existing substation automation.
Equipment will be manufactured from Alstom's Noida manufacturing facilities in India.
RTUs are intelligent devices that collect data from remote locations to enhance network visibility for grid operators.
