Alstom T&D India will help monitor and control India’s electricity supply network with two contracts worth €12.5 million awarded by Power Grid Corporation of India. Alstom will supply its energy management system (EMS) to enable reliable, secure and efficient operation of the electric power system. The scope of the two contracts covers EMS packages for India’s Southern and Western Regional Load Dispatch Centres (SRLDC and WRLDC). Rathin Basu, Managing Director, Alstom T&D India Limited, said: “Since 2002, Alstom has been a pioneer in bringing in smart technology to India’s transmission grid. It has supplied equipment to India’s three out of five Regional Load Dispatch Centres and to the National Load Dispatch Centre. This second wave of upgrades for the regional centres will significantly improve the operational efficiency and increase power flow across the Indian grid, particularly after the integration of Southern grid into the national grid (expected in 2014).”
