Burnie Substation SCADA Redevelopment

Transformer Protection

Transformer Protection

The Burnie Substation is an existing and operational installation, however, as part of these redevelopment works, the site SCADA system and associated design components, such as network topology and SCADA equipment arrangement and configuration, was augmented and modified such that it conforms to the clients standard Substation Automation design concepts.

Burnie substation SCADA redevelopment was successfully completed on an existing brownfield installation without operational impact, outages or limitations. This was achieved by implementing an approved plan and methodology based on maintaining existing legacy systems while new systems were tested and commissioned.
