Substation Automation

Availability and performance / optimised

Substation owners and operators must balance the ever increasing demand for power with surety of supply.

There is a fast-growing requirement for better data, increased flexibility and improved control capabilities for the transmission and distribution of power nationwide. Many want to introduce new technologies to the network, are working to improve reliability and control for consumers, or looking to benefit from digital transformation.

Whether you are looking to upgrade or expand a traditional substation infrastructure, or embarking on a digital substation project, we provide fully interoperable, technology agnostic end-to-end solutions that ensure the highest levels of availability and performance.

Capula is one of the largest suppliers of substation control systems for the electricity transmission network in England and Wales

Resilience beyond boundaries

Our innovative approach is designed to dramatically reduce both project delivery time and the need for primary circuit outages.

For upgrade and modernisation programmes, we can design clear upgrade pathways to ensure that you maximise the reuse of existing hardware infrastructure and ensure full interoperability of systems – all whilst optimising and promoting system longevity.

Whilst our digitalised substation solution can extend the boundaries of what is possible, through applied advanced technologies that are digitally compliance and truly interoperable.

So whatever your challenge, you can be assured that our exacting standards will match yours.
