Viola Systems Launches Artic Control to Restore Power by Monitoring and Operating Electrical Network


Turku, Finland, Tuesday, November 03, 2009 -- (Business Wire India) -- Power blackouts can now be a thing of the past. Arctic Control the latest product from Viola Systems makes it now possible for the Electricity Distribution Companies to monitor and operate the network remotely.

Reducing the frequency and duration of power outage is one of the key targets for service improvement of the Distribution Companies. Using Arctic Control, power is restored immediately by remotely monitoring and controlling the field devices in the Electrical Network.

Mr. Jyrki Penttonen, CEO of Viola Systems explains that the strategy for the Distribution Companies in the Smart Networks is to divide them in small zones. In the event of a power fault, the effected zone is isolated from the other areas. Arctic Control provides the vital communication link between the centralised control room and monitoring and operating the Medium Voltage field devices. It has been proven to be a big success with the Electric Utilities in the Nordic area.

Mr. Rajiv Oberoi, Director Sales of Viola Systems mentions that the Arctic Control has been specifically designed to meet the high availability and security needs of a Distribution Company. Retrofitting with the existing assets, connection with multiple switchgear and disconnectors are some of the key features of Arctic Control. Viola Systems is actively working in India with local System Integrators and Automation providers as ABB, Schneider Electric and Siemens. Distribution Companies in India as DHBVN, UHBVN, NDPL, PSEB and CESC are already benefitting from secure and reliable wireless communication from Viola devices.
