This new network control system is expected to serve approximately half of Hungary’s electricity consumers. Hungarian automation engineering company Prolan, supported by Telvent, was awarded the project over other European competitors.
Emasz’s electric distribution operation is headquartered in Miskolc and serves areas in northeast Hungary. Elmu’s service area covers Budapest and surrounding regions. Their ability to leverage Prolan and Telvent’s integrated platform will enable Emasz and Elmu to plan, design, and operate an efficient smart electric grid to serve approximately 1.5 million customers.
Emasz and Elmu will implement advanced Telvent EMS and DMS network applications and functionalities to help coordinate all network facilities. The Emasz system is expected to be implemented in two years, with the Elmu system to follow.
Manuel Sanchez, chairman and CEO of Telvent, said: “The selection of the Telvent solution by Emasz and Elmu is a very significant win for us. It keenly exemplifies our goal to help utilities implement strategies to provide reliable electrical energy supply in the most efficient way.”
