Under the INR560m (€7m) contract, Alstom will deliver energy management system, e-terraplatform, to enable reliable, secure and efficient operation of hydro-thermal electricity system in Sri Lanka.
Alstom will also construct new control centre, known as the National System Control Centre, featuring supervisory control, data acquisition, and energy management system in Colombo.
Additionally, the company will install and integrate 34 remote terminal units (RTU) with the new system and integrate existing substation automation.
Alstom will manufacture the equipment at its Noida manufacturing facilities in India.
Alstom T&D India managing director Rathin Basu said: "Alstom has provided similar systems for India, Bangladesh and Bhutan, making a solid contribution towards the transmission network development in the South Asian region.
"This prestigious project will witness the introduction of smart technologies in the Sri Lankan transmission grid."
Alstom’s e-terraplatform software solution has been designed to evaluate the collected data to help grid operators monitor and operate the network on a real-time basis.
The solution will also enable users to make decisions in real-time to ensure security of the national grid.
The project is expected to help CEB enhance grid stability, including support for integration of renewable energy, such as wind and solar, into the national grid.
