schneider electric will provide a comprehensive solution for control and automation of the desalination plant of Europe located in Torrevieja (Alicante), amounting to EUR 8.5 million. The company is involved in this project in the part of the installation control both the part of electricity distribution and shows that it is able to provide solutions for the management of electric power at the highest level.

Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management, has materialized in this work of infrastructure your final bet by offering complete solutions for energy management. Thanks to Acuamed as property and to the joint venture awarded of the installation, which is formed by Acciona water companies, Acciona Infraestructuras, Romymar, and by the subcontractors responsible as installers and systems integrated assemblies electrical León and ICR,respectively, this becomes the project's desalination plant of Europe that will equal to the largest in the world, located in Israel with a capacity of 240,000 cubic meters per day.

The desalinization plant technology allows continuity and reliability of service, the quality of the water requires the continuation of the treatment process.

Schneider Electric technology

With the solution provided by Schneider Electric and from the standpoint of control and supervision of installation, the desalination plant incorporates technology that lets you continuity and reliability of service, the quality of the water requires the continuity of the process of treatment and the cost of the stops in the process requires installations reliable. Also provides resistance, by the great robustness and resistance in adverse environments (salt, moisture, etc.) and security with the risk reduction electric to ensure the functioning of the equipment and the protection of individuals. The plant in addition, is designed to be energy-efficient, reduce consumption and return on the investment thanks to an ergonomic solution for easy maintenance, long service life and adaptability in future developments. Also, the information of the plant is centralized on a single computer and connects the different subsystems of the installation (up to 30 miles away). This is possible thanks to Multiservice networks that allow monitoring, control, programming and maintenance of the connected elements, such as speed variators, elements of protection (Sepam), analyzers of network (PM710) and instrumentation for total management of the installation; and thanks to the general architecture of the plant, which is composed of a series of linked rings in fiber optics, redundantly and which ensure the desalination process.

Electrical power

The part of electric power low voltage and within the different control centers of engines of the infrastructure, have incorporated adjustable speed Altivar drives and starters of static Altistar, that allow reducing consumption of boot and vary the speed of different consumer enginesproviding energy savings of up to 20% in the installation.

The part of medium voltage provided by Schneider Electric electric power includes the primary distribution, through transformation of secondary distribution centres and systems of protection of the installation (Sepam) 20 kV, capacitor batteries and centres of 6 kV with static starters MotorPact motor control and isolation transformers with vegetable oil (biodegradable 99%), all this communicated on Modbus TCP on the multiservice network.

For Henry, general manager of Schneider Electric for the Iberian area, "the contribution of Schneider Electric in the water industry is reflected with our participation as a supplier of solutions in this desalination plant." "The provided solutions collaborate actively in the optimisation of operating costs and savings of energy of this important infrastructure".
