GE T&D India Ltd. has secured orders from Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. (PGCIL) to build a State Transmission Asset Management Centre (STAMC) for Odisha Power Transmission Corporation Ltd. (OPTCL).

The goal of the Centre is to help OPTCL operate their grid more efficiently, reliably, and resiliently through real-time grid monitoring and control.

Through this project, GE T&D India Ltd. endeavours to provide a comprehensive turnkey solution spanning hundreds of OPTCL substations. Once complete, the substations are planned to be remotely controlled with advanced grid software solutions including supervisory control and data acquisition, video monitoring system, remote accessibility system and automated fault analysis system, which will be installed at four locations across the state of Odisha.  
 
Unifying data from grid assets like substations and transmission lines is expected to enable the proposed STAMC to provide more complete situational awareness to OPTCL, helping them to make better informed decisions, resolve incidents faster, and optimise resources.

Sandeep Zanzaria, MD & CEO of GE T&D India Ltd. said, “We are thrilled to have been selected for this important project in Odisha, which represents a major milestone in India’s journey towards decarbonization and net zero grids. Our innovative STAMC will help empower PGCIL and OPTCL to optimise their grid operations, continue to integrate renewable energy sources more effectively and ultimately contribute to a smarter, resilient and more sustainable grid for the future.”

GE Vernova’s Electrification Software business has delivered more than 100 grid control centres from its sites in Noida and Hyderabad, effectively contributing to the ‘Make in India’ initiative, a government-led initiative to create and encourage companies to develop, manufacture and assemble products in India.

In the past, the Electrification Software business has delivered complex transmission and distribution projects like Unified Real-time Dynamic State Measurements (URTDSM), National Transmission Asset Management Centre (NTAMC), Renewable Energy Management Center (REMC) and Unified Load Dispatch and Communication (ULDC) in India.
