“With expertise based on several years of field experience and certified engineers in protection, SAS and SCADA RTU, Gulf Solutions ME is qualified to offer a full scope of Supply, Procurement Design, Engineering, Configuration, FAT, Site installation, Testing & Commissioning, and handover of IEC 61850 based Substation Automation System (SAS) / Power System Automation PSA”.

• Designing substation automation architecture including remote access.
• Integration with IEC61850 Standard with all kinds of relays (ABB, SEL, GE, ALSTOM.SCHNEIDER, Etc.).
• Providing an overall solution to integrate substation equipment GATEWAY with the control center through IEC 60870-5-101 and IEC 60870-5-104 protocols.
• Configuration and parameterization of IEDs by using different tools (PCM 600, DIGSI, AGILE, IET, etc.).
• Integration for IEDs from different manufacturers with the SAS system through different protocols (DNP 3, IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-103, etc.).
• ICD and CID files preparation of all relay brands.
• SAS Mapping and Configuration by using different tools (SICAM PAS, WIN CC, SAT Toolbox, etc.)
• IEC 62439-3 PRP testing.
• Interoperability tests to ensure the inter-relay protection/control schemes work as designed.
• Integration test to ensure the entire Substation Automation System functions interactively.
• Identify, Design, and propose any modification works in the existing switchgear/relay panel for site installation to implement PSA/PMCS/SAS based system on different communication protocols.
• Conducting factory and site acceptance tests and commissioning activities of PSA.
• Configuration of all communication devices (Ethernet Switches, Firewall, Modems, Gateways Servers Etc.

The new design of optimizing will improve security and reliability at a lower cost of ownership and with the same level of functionality.

Designing substation automation architecture includes:

• Designing substation automation architecture with the concept of optimized PSA.
• HMI Preparation and Database Engineering of embedded Linux based HMI (SEL-5035
  accelerator Diagram Builder) by Complying with the latest SA PSA HMI guidelines
• Configuration of SEL-3555 RTAC as an IEC 61850 Client for substation IED accesses
• Implementing The concept of shared tags thereby reducing the load on HMI by 50%.
• Configuration of SEL-3555 RTAC as an IEC 61850 server for CCR accesses.
• Configuration of SEL-3620 by creating Centralized Access to Relays and IEDs using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Optimizing the process of password changes by to meet NERC CIP requirements.
• Configuration of Substation Firewall by Securing the substation network from malicious traffic with a powerful deny-by-default firewall.
• Preparation of NMR601, NMR602, and NMR 603 and other related documents according to SA standards.
