India-based Crompton Greaves (CG) has installed a complete 61850 substation automation system (SAS) at SunEdison’s 100MW Llanos de LLampo solar plant in Chile.

The 61850 SAS was based on ZIV protection intelligent electrical devices (IEDs) and an SAS gateway.

CG’s €500,000 order was accomplished through Spanish contractor Isastur, which provided associated engineering, system integration, commissioning and training services.

Located in the Atacama Desert, Chile, the Llano de Llampos substation distributes energy generated by the solar photovoltaic plant in Latin America.

PV modules at the substation transform sunlight radiation into direct current (DC) electric power after converting it to alternating current (AC) by means of an inverter.

CG claims that since acquiring ZIV, it is a key supplier in the global smart grid market.
