AREVA T&D To Showcase New Solutions At IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference
Bethesda, MD - AREVA T&D, a provider of products, systems and services to the electric transmission and distribution industry, will be launching a variety of new and innovative solutions at the IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exhibition in Dallas, TX, May 22-24, 2006.
Visitors to AREVA T&D's booth number 1123 in Hall "B" at the Dallas Convention Center will be greeted by energy experts and offered an assortment of demonstrations and presentations to observe and discuss. Among the highlights are three product launches for medium and high voltage substations aimed at protecting, monitoring and controlling utilities' transmission investments.
The first is BiTRONICS(TM) M572, a new monitoring and recording intelligent electronic device (IED) for dual line, dual bus applications. It continuously, quickly and accurately monitors electrical parameters for two full sets of three-phase voltages and currents, tests for any anomalies and then records the anomalies.
AREVA T&D is the world's largest manufacturer of disconnect switches. The latest product in AREVA T&D's disconnect line is the CGVB vertical break disconnector. This new switch is built to ANSI and IEC standards and backed by AREVA T&D's proven reliability of its disconnect switch line in extreme climates all around the world.
The final launch is of another field-tested AREVA T&D technology, e-terracontrol. The latest release, e-terracontrol version 3.4, offers a new application as a complete stand-alone SCADA for utility networks or industrial facilities. The technology has been successful already as a gateway to substations and to power plant digital control systems. Also new in this release is support for the IEC 61850 protocol for integration of substation SCADA systems.
A special e-terracontrol launch reception is planned for Monday, May 22 from 4-6pm in AREVA T&D's conference room #7 Hall "D." We will be serving light food and beverages and giving a short demonstration about the latest 3.4 version. We invite all press to attend, ask questions and interact with our energy experts who will be on hand.
Guests at AREVA T&D's stand will also have the opportunity to view 3D demonstrations featuring an array of solutions for transmission substations, hands-on demonstrations of energy management and distribution management solutions featuring the latest in visualization technology, and demonstrations of AREVA T&D's solutions for protecting and monitoring power systems. Other presentations include services for asset optimization and primary distribution solutions.
Down the hall in booth #1164, AREVA T&D will be participating in UCA's space to support the demonstration of TVA's Bradley substation. This demo highlights how a team of vendors including AREVA T&D - worked together with TVA to integrate the IEC 61850 communications standard with complementary technologies in order to achieve advanced substation automation and remove costly bottlenecks within their transmission system.
"The IEEE PES T&D Exhibition offers us the opportunity to interface with engineers, operations managers and chief executives of our industry. We are excited to once again demonstrate that AREVA T&D is a leading expert in transmitting and distributing energy, creating new references every day, everywhere." said Ken Reuter, AREVA T&D Inc. North America Vice President.
