Berlin, 15 October 2015 – PSI Incontrol Sdn Bhd, the Malaysian PSI AG business, has received an order from Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) for the implementation of the TNB REMACO Sungai Perak Energy Control System (SPECS), a SCADA control centre for seven Power Stations.
TNB is Malaysia‘s largest electrical utility with assets worth more than 20 Billion Euros. TNB’s Generation Division manages and operates the Sungai Perak Hydro Power Plants, a scheme of seven Hydro Power stations installed around the Sungai Perak (Perak River) and its tributary waters. These include Temenggor Power Station, Bersia Power Station, Kenering Power Station, Sungai Piah (Upper and Lower) Power Station, Pergau Power Station and Chendroh Power Station.
PSI will replace the existing SCADA system including the Master Station, Remote Terminal Units and auxiliaries. The system will also communicate with its National Load Dispatch Centre (NLDC). The project deliverables also include an Operator and Maintenance Training Simulator. With the existing system far exceeding its end of life and with unavailability of spare parts, it becomes inevitable and utmost important for TNB to substitute it with the new PSIcontrol SCADA system as soon as possible. Thus, TNB have expedited the execution of this job with a challenging project timeline of eight months.
PSI has delivered similar timeline commitments to TNB in the past. The TNB Distribution Control System for TNB’s North-South-East region was delivered earlier than planned upon TNB’s request to fast-track. PSI Incontrol’s long term relationship with TNB combined with the previous experiences of fast-track project deliveries has provided TNB with the confidence to award the SPECS project to PSI Incontrol.
PSI has delivered all four Distribution Control Centres in TNB, seven Distribution Control Centres in PEA, Thailand, one Distribution Control Centre in MEA, Thailand and is currently implementing one Transmission Control Centre in BPMC, Brunei. With this new Project, PSI has emphasised its strong foothold within the South-East Asian region in all Electrical Utility portfolios.
On the basis of its own software products, PSI AG develops and integrates complete solutions for energy management (gas, oil, electricity, heat, energy trading), production management (mining, metals, automotive, mechanical engineering, logistics) and infrastructure management for transport and safety. PSI was founded in 1969 and em-ploys 1,700 persons worldwide.
