Important orders |
Efacec Automation has received an important order for the KVMRT project in Malaysia, for the supply of the SCADA system and remote units (RTUs) for the electrical energy distribution in the rail-based transport network, being constructed in the metropolitan region of the capital Kuala Lumpur, also known as Klang Valley. This project, supported by government, involves construction of the new railway transport network between Sungai Buloh and Kajang stations. This new line with 51 km length will integrate 32 passenger stations, 7 of which are underground. The expected daily ridership is of 400 000 passengers. This contract was achieved through the Japanese business partner Meidensha Corporation (MEIDEN) that has selected Efacec Automation as a provider of the SCADA system and RTUs for management and supervision of electrical energy in this transport system. The SCADA system to be supplied is based on the most recent ScateX+ platform suited for control centers, integrally developed by Efacec. The ScateX+ will interface with external systems, such as vehicles signaling and control system, and light metro technical supervision system. The system will be installed in two control centers, the main operational (OCC) and the backup (BCC), with redundant and hot-standby configuration. The system includes also historical information server (both for OCC and BCC), and simulation server for OCC. This system will enable monitoring and supervision of all RTUs installed along the lines, from both OCC and BCC. Regarding the remote units, solutions based on the unified CLP 500 platform will be supplied. This equipment, produced by Efacec, will comprise station server units in redundant configuration, as well as data acquisition units. Additionally in 10 stations, will be included an operation workstation for local control, equipped with HMI 500 user interface software. The station server units will have TCP/IP interface for the communication purposes. This contract confirms the excellence of Efacec Automation products and solutions in the scope of energy networks automation, particularly in the railway transport domain. This new reference reinforce the range of projects achieved in national and international market, namely for the transport operators of light metros located in Oporto, Lisbon, Dublin, Tenerife, Messina, Singapore, Sao Paulo, Bergen, among others. |
