Project description
The project involved the integration of existing control centers from different lighting control vendors in just one Control Center, the iControl SCADA Lighting Edition, in order to control up to 150 RTUs connected to nearly 2,000 light points.
The project had two key points:
- Concentrate the information from different vendors and protocols (IEC60870-5-104 and ModbusTCP) in the same SCADA system.
- Calculation of hundreds of mathematical formulas to obtain the desired data and improve the energy efficiency.
The SCADA system deployed was based on a client/server architecture with two simultaneous operators. It also features the ability to send SMS messages and emails depending on the kind of generated alarms and events in order to alert the maintenance staff.

IEC61850
iGrid T&D's SCADA, RTUs, substation gateways, protocol converters and bay controllers support both IEC61850 client and server communication capabilities. When acting as IEC61850 servers, our solutions are able to map any existing IED to IEC61850 logical devices
Substation Automation
IEC61850, IEC60870-5-104 and DNP3.0 (as well as other communication protocols) are used worldwide for substations' automation. iGrid T&D solutions use all of them to have a completely interoperability with any other vendor
Medium Voltage Distribution grid automation
Our solutions fulfill the standards required by electrical companies for the control of Medium Voltage grids (MV/LV substations). Our devices are capable to adapt to different communication media (e.g. serial, Ethernet, GPRS/3G, PSTN) and able to handle multiple communication protocols (e.g. IEC60970-5-104, DNP3.0)
Smart metering
Our smart metering solutions support the most popular metering protocols (IEC60870-5-102, Modbus and DLMS) and multiple communication media. iGrid T&D is working with the most important meter manufacturers worldwide to collect and deliver metering information to the electrical market
Protocol converter
Retrofitting electrical facilities means to use the newest devices together with the oldest ones. For these projects, flexible and adaptable protocol converters are vital devices.
Hydroelectric generation plant
Hydroelectric generation plants require remote control following the electrical systems standards, but a higher degree of automation is requested, as special procedures are requested for actions like dams open/close, generator start/stop, etc. iGrid solutions will give you easy tools to automate small and big hydroelectric generation plants
