MISSISSAUGA, ON — June 29, 2010 — Survalent Technology, a leading provider of smart grid solutions to utilities, announced today that it has commissioned a new Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for Centrales Eléctricas de Nariño S.A. E.S.P. (CEDENAR) Colombia.

CEDENAR serves almost 320,000 customers and just over 15,000 commercial and industrial accounts with electric service. To meet this business CEDENAR has more than 9,300 distribution transformers, about 296 miles line to 34.5 kV, more than 2,269 miles of 13.8 kV, and 3,470 miles of low voltage network. The power distribution system has 38 substations. Headquartered in Pasto, Nariño, CEDENAR is a distribution company of the Colombian government.

The new system features Survalent’s highly available, dual-redundant, open-architecture system based on Windows Server 2008. The feature-rich system incorporates many of Survalent’s open system applications, including: OPC Client/Server, Web Server, IEC 61850, DNP3 LAN, and ICCP/IEC 60870-6/TASE.2. The system provides real-time interfaces to GIS and OMS corporate applications.

The Colombian Mines and Energy Minister Hernan Martinez Torres visited the city of Pasto, Nariño to see the progress that CEDENAR has made on Local Control Center (CLC) which is already in operation.

“Survalent is deeply committed to our Latin America customers,” states Steve Mueller, President/CEO, Survalent Technology. Last year we opened our 33,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and we continue to staff and expand to better serve this important region. We welcome CEDENAR to our growing list of satisfied customers.”
