Westermo has received an initial order worth approximately 28 million Swedish krona (€2.35 million), which corresponds to less than one-third of the potential volume of Merlin routers covered by the framework agreement.
The energy operator aims to have an initial ten thousand monitoring devices operational, gathering real-time data from the remote substations within three years. This will be used for smart grid applications, such as distribution automation, supporting their transformation to a low-carbon electricity system.
These robust Merlin series routers are ideally suited for these networking applications as they meet the requirements of the IEC 61850-3 standard for medium voltage substations, offering the highest levels of galvanic isolation and security. The routers also have the tools for remote provisioning, management and control. This makes networks simpler, more easily optimised, and much more sustainable and faster to build, operate and upgrade, thereby helping to reduce costs and carbon emissions.
“The award of this contract is a confirmation of Westermo’s ability to support large-scale remote access equipment deployments in the energy sector, where quality and reliability capabilities are essential,” said Jenny Sjödahl, chief executive officer at Westermo. “The in-depth technical expertise and support capabilities of our development and deployment teams will provide a great foundation for this exciting project and help ensure a successful partnership.”
