Monitoring of High-Voltage Installations

Effective monitoring of high-voltage installations is an important prerequisite for safe and stable operation. With access to relevant operating data and alarms, the person responsible for operation can quickly identify deviations, handle faults and make the necessary decisions to maintain a high level of security of supply. At the same time, the risk of unnecessary outages and prolonged operational disturbances is reduced.

Monitoring requirements vary from one installation to another. Smaller installations can often be handled with simple monitoring solutions. In comparison, larger and more critical installations require advanced and redundant systems that ensure high availability and continuous access to operating data. The choice of solution depends, among other things, on the size, complexity, criticality and operating organisation of the installation.

L-Engineering helps develop and dimension monitoring and communication solutions adapted to the needs of each installation. We prepare concepts for monitoring, remote control and data acquisition with a focus on operational reliability, flexibility and future expansion options.

Our services include:
  • Development of concepts for monitoring and remote control of high-voltage installations.
  • Design of SCADA and communication solutions.
  • Advisory services on communication protocols and system architecture.
  • Definition of signal scope, alarms and operating data.
  • Integration between substations, control centres and external systems.
  • Configuration of RTUs and IEDs.
  • Testing of communication, signals and alarms.
  • FAT, SAT, functional testing and commissioning.

We have experience with the most widely used communication protocols in the energy sector, including IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus and DNP3. This makes it possible to develop solutions that ensure reliable communication between the installation’s components, control systems and control centres.

From the initial considerations about monitoring strategy to final commissioning, we support the establishment of solutions that provide the necessary overview of the installation’s operation and condition. Our goal is to create robust and future-proof monitoring systems that support safe operation, efficient fault handling and optimal utilisation of the installation’s resources.
