Modernization of Infrastructure of Energy Control Centers (ECC) of IPTO

Modernization of Infrastructure of Energy Control Centers (ECC) of IPTO through the installation and operation of new Display Walls, modernization of ECC's control rooms and installation and operation of new Air Conditioning Systems

The project consists of two Sub – projects:

Sub – project 1: The sub project includes the study, procurement, installation, commissioning and maintenance of Display Walls, which receive real time information from the Energy Management System (EMS) and which will replace the existing mosaic charts of outdated technology.

Sub – project 2: The sub – project includes the procurement, installation, commissioning and maintenance of new Air Conditioning Systems at the premises of IPTO’s Energy Control Centers.

Benefits

Sub – project 1: With the implementation of the sub – project 1 (Display Walls), the monitoring and control of the National Interconnected Power Generation and Transmission System will be upgraded and modernized. Moreover the installation and use of new lighting and new work desks in the ECC’s control rooms will also support a clear and unobstructed view of the information displayed on the Display Walls, facilitating the performance of the duties of the technical staff of IPTO, in the ECC’S control rooms.

This sub – project is implemented by IPTO in the context of its obligation to ensure the supply of electricity through the Hellenic Interconnected Transmission System in a safe, efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly manner.

Sub – project 2: With the implementation of subproject 2 (new Air Conditioning Systems), cooling infrastructures of old and non – environmentally compatible existing equipment will be upgraded. The alignment with relevant environmental rules and the reduction of consumed energy by thirty percent (30%) will be achieved by replacing the above – mentioned equipment. The proper operation of the air conditioning equipment is crucial for the safe operation of the information systems of the Energy Control Centers, on which the critical software platforms of the Energy Management System (EMS) and the Market Management System (MMS) of IPTO are hosted.
