ZURICH, SWITZERLAND - Hitachi ABB Power Grids has launched a new reliability-based service solution, which has been selected by Gulf Cooperation Council Interconnection Authority (GCCIA). GCCIA will become the first customer of the RelCare service.
The new solution combines asset management software with service partnership models enabling asset, operation and maintenance managers to optimize the performance and protection of their crucial systems, the manufacturer said in the press release.
GCCIA, a joint stock company established by the six Gulf states, owns and operates the GCC interconnection that links the power systems of all six GCC states. As part of their three-year agreement, GCCIA will use the new solution to remotely monitor the maintenance of all their substations across the six Gulf countries.
The partnership will cover eight large 400 kV substations that integrate more than 3,000 assets, consisting of 30 different asset types.
