HV/MV SOLUTIONS

Within the ecological transition, the strong development of distributed generation from renewable sources that we are seeing in recent years has made the management of the national transmission grid (RTN) in High Voltage increasingly delicate and critical. Automation systems for plants connected to the RTN therefore play an increasingly crucial role in grid stability and safety, ensuring compliance with the requirements of the Terna Grid Code and its technical annexes. In this scenario Thytronic offers complete automation solutions for protection, control and supervision (Protection, Command and Control System, SPCC) for all plants, whether they are production plants - hydroelectric, photovoltaic, wind, cogeneration - consumption plants, storage plants or mixed plants.
