GRTgaz entrusts Telvent to control the gas transmission system in France
Telvent announced today that it will deliver its advanced supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) technology to new customer GRTgaz. GRTgaz owns and operates the GDF Suez gas transportation network in France. The contract for the project is secured until 2013.
Telvent’s OASyS Dynamic Network of Applications (DNA) is a highly distributed real-time platform that integrates all of a company’s tools under a single umbrella of centralised, standardised hardware and software.
This is critical as GRTgaz’s gas transportation network is Europe’s largest - spanning 32,000 km in France alone and transporting nearly 68 billion m3 of gas annually. The network is also comprised of 25 compressor stations, eight interconnections with other enterprises’ networks, and 4600 delivery points, including 900 industrial customers.
OASyS DNA is in alignment within Europe’s developing internal natural gas market. Since free competition requires access to gas infrastructures, operators play a crucial role in building the market by reinforcing and diversifying supply sources.
