Power Management & Control
We supply, install and configure Ethernet switches, embedded computers, communication protocols, protection relays, sensors and security devices to build a resilient/redundant IEC 61850 compliant power network. We offer solutions with automated control functions to help utilities, industrial, commercial and infrastructure sectors to monitor, prevent, detect, and mitigate network failures; preserve critical infrastructure, and control major power system assets for optimal economical operation. We implement excellent platforms in both hardware and software to collate, manipulate, and present power system data to enable operators, maintenance personnel, and engineering staff to diagnose network events, predict equipment failures, minimize unnecessary maintenance, and provide high speed response and solutions.
We support utilities, telecoms, transportation (rail & auto), Marine (offshore platforms, ports and vessels), oil, gas and petrochemical plants, heavy duty industry (aluminum and steel), manufacturing facilities, mining and processing facilities, food & beverage, water and wastewater treatment plants, irrigation systems, data centres, industrial parks, and many other production facilities with an islanded, multi-source, or distributed power systems.
We have subsisting relationship with OEMs which enables us to supply protection and control solutions with exceptional performance and reliability. We advise and implement unique solutions such as:
- Integrated substation protection
- Arc-Flash Protection
- Transformer Protection
- Generator Protection
- Motor Protection
- Feeder Protection
- Automatic Transfer Schemes
- Overhead/Underground Lines Protection
- Recloser Schemes
SCADA (Control & Monitoring for Electrical Systems)
We have the requisite experience to design and implement complete supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems to monitor and control power systems and processes. We have good experience in providing various system sizes, ranging from simple, standalone to complex, networked systems. Our SCADA system deployment is useful to collate vital information about power network assets, outage management, asset optimization, predictive and preventive maintenance information, load shedding and load restoration, access control and cyber security, etc.
Our engineers are flexible enough to evaluate and work with clients’ operations requirements, preferred software, and existing equipment to create a SCADA solution that is right for each business case. The diverse experiences of our staff cut across multiple industries allowing for a very broad perspective in teams assigned to projects to resolve any power challenges. With good access to our partners’ resources, we offer streamlined gateways to valuable information, improved reliability and performance, and expanded power system management, protection and controls.
Core SCADA Capabilities
- Real time data collection,
- Database management;
- Real- time dynamic data visualization;
- Secure operator supervisory control
- Alarm, event, sequence of event management
- Historical collection with real-time and historical trending graphs
- User-based security
- On-line configuration
Control Room Setup & Management
We have proven expertise to design, build and equip modern power control rooms of various sizes for monitoring the health of communication lines and logic controllers, summarizing power system data, and interfacing with settings for power management and remedial action schemes. Linds can supply custom HMI applications, digital display or video walls for small- to large-scale power systems to capture and display field / remote sites activities. We support power networks to set up customized and networked visualization and databases in main power control rooms and remote stations that meet the size and specification of any SCADA operations.
We deliver modern control buildings, enclosures made of steel, concrete, fibreglass and aluminium together with electronics to support computing requirements in off-grid and hard to reach sites. Many high-tech electronic and mechanical systems are integrated into the control enclosures: temperature- controls, security systems, surge suppressors and backup batteries are just a few of the components that comprise an integrated control room enclosures which we provide.
We take control enclosure design and implementation to ergonomic levels in view of the specific modern requirements for power automation and integration. Whether your control room enclosure needs are for electrical, communication, mechanical or otherwise, we help select and implement integrated systems of quality and reliability. Majority of our control enclosures are designed to be portable allowing for flexibility of use in any environment. Through our partners, we offer pre- fabricated custom enclosures that help reduce engineering, procurement and installation costs keeping every project we support to be executed on time and within budget.
Control Cabinets and Panels
We supply and deliver custom protection, control, and metering panels as well as control cabinets to match customer specifications and needs. We implement multiple pieces of equipment and hardware from good brands into a single assembly. Linds works cooperatively with customers to understand their requirements and challenges in order to provide innovative and economical solutions. Every solution is designed, assembled, wired, and tested to meet customers’ specifications and expectation.
Power System Maintenance
We equally undertake maintenance works such as supply of spare parts, laying of underground cables, excavation of trenches, trimming of bushy substation overhead line environments and enumeration of customers for planning of utilities network.
