L&T Division Gets Order For Energy Management Systems In India

The Digital Energy Solutions (DES) arm of Larsen & Toubro’s Power Transmission and Distribution (PT&D) business has received an order to develop and implement Energy Management Systems across regional and state load dispatch centers in South India.

As part of the order, L&T is expected to develop energy management and associated software systems for 12 control rooms. These systems are being implemented in both main and backup configurations for the Southern Regional Load Dispatch Centre (RLDC) and the State Load Dispatch Centers (SLDC) of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana.

The integration and implementation of these systems are to be carried out without causing downtime for the existing infrastructure. This order adds to the growing list of digitally based intelligent projects being executed by L&T DES globally.
