Thailand, Bangkok: Hitachi Energy has announced the successful installation of its RTU560 solution for the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) in Thailand.
This is part of a project to upgrade the power network in Bangkok and its neighbouring regions. The installation of an RTU560 at each of the 28 substations in MEA’s operating region is aimed at enhancing its monitoring and control capabilities and providing connectivity to ensure a stable and reliable power distribution network.
As electricity demand in Thailand continues to grow and to enable sustainable economic development, MEA has undertaken one of the largest projects in recent years, upgrading its distribution grid infrastructure, including remote terminal units (RTU) and its SCADA system.
“With the increasing levels of digitalization, utilities are challenged by the need to handle large amounts of data,” said Dr Worawut Waruttamapornsu, Country Managing Director, Hitachi Energy, Thailand, adding, “Hitachi Energy’s modular RTU560 is the perfect solution for various applications for automation and control, with its interoperability and backward compatibility allowing customers to retrofit their secondary equipment with reduced investments.”
