Larsen and Toubro (L&T) on Monday announced that the Digital Energy Solutions (DES) arm of L&T’s Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) business has received the mandate to develop and implement Energy Management Systems in regional and state load dispatch centers in South India.
As part of the order in Southern India, Energy Management System and associated software systems will be implemented for 12 sets of control rooms. “These systems are being implemented for main and backup configurations for the Southern Regional Load Dispatch Centre (RLDC) and the State Load Dispatch Centers (SLDC) of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and Telangana,” the company said in a regulatory filing.
L&T DES will implement this upgradation of control rooms with power system applications supplied by a leading OEM to monitor and control the energy flow in the electricity transmission network in real time. The upgrade work will leverage L&T-Spark-CRIMTM (Control Room Integration Middleware) Platform to integrate substation data.
Through another recent mandate, L&T DES said that the team will implement upgradation of power and transmission control rooms in the western United States, with configurations involving more than 15 EMS hosts, deploying advanced applications to monitor and control the energy flow in real-time. The scope, L&T said, includes design and implementation of power and transmission network operation situational awareness to assist operators and analysts to improve grid reliability.
The company added that it is already executing a slew of advanced grid modernization and digitalization orders in India, including the upgradation work in National and Regional Transmission Asset Management Centers consisting of 13 control rooms nation-wide integrating 270 EHV transmission substations.
On the Distribution Grid Management side, L&T DES is implementing advanced distribution management systems in Mumbai and Vadodara.
T Madhava Das, Whole-Time Director & Senior Executive Vice President (Utilities), Larsen & Toubro, said, “In line with L&T’s ethos of technology for sustainable growth, and banking on our deep domain expertise in Power T&D and Renewable generation areas, we are happy to speed up the data driven transition of our customers.”
