EDP orders smart grids solution from Efacec
|
Efacec Automation has received an order from EDP, the Portuguese Distribution Operator, for the supply of a smart street lighting management solution.
The order comprises a system for street lighting (SL) control through the eLumen platform.
The eLumen platform is responsible for the operational management of SL, either at the level of parameterization and SL control, as well as its monitoring (states, anomalies, register of historical events e energy consumption).
With this solution EDP will be able to:
• reduce SL energy consumption and consequently decrease CO2 emissions,
• substantially reduce the maintenance costs, through the timely detection of SL problems,
• provide third-party SL system operators a friendly web platform to efficiently manage
SL circuit under their responsibility,
• maintain a single shared platform for SL management. |
eLumen interface |
The scope of supply includes platform, installation of servers and, in a first phase, the connection to all MV/LV substations of Évora city, in order to control the city street lighting. After the successful installations in this city, the project will roll-out in other cities, namely in Oporto and Lisbon. |
