Alstom T&D India has secured a Euro 8.4 million contract from Power Grid to expand and upgrade the energy management system of India's various control centres in North East India: North Eastern Regional Load Despatch Centre (NERLDC) and seven other Regional Load Despatch Centres (RLDCs).
The project includes supply, installation, test and commission of 87 remote terminal units (RIUs) and 9 Control Centres. RTUs are intelligent devices that collect data from remote locations to enhance network visibility for grid operators. Meanwhile, Alstom's e-terra platform software solution analyses the data to help grid operators take decisions in real-time, and enhance grid security. The NERLDC system operator can thus anticipate abnormalities and prevent costly outcomes, such as a blackout.
Alstom T&D India is part of Alstom Grid, a global player in electrical grids. The company’s India operations account for over 13% of overall revenues garnered by Alstom Grid’s global operations. Apart from India business, other major contributors are the operations in France, the US, Germany and China.
