Briskcom - Communication for Remote Operation of Plants and Substations (COS and O&M)

The remote operation of power plants and substations aims to supervise various electrical parameters, equipment and perform remote maneuvers. The success of this type of operation depends on extremely reliable and highly available communication.

As it is a mission-critical application, we have developed a satellite data and voice telecommunications solution that meets the most demanding quality and safety requirements necessary for the remote operation of plants and substations.

The operation of plants and substations remotely is widely adopted in the energy market as a way of reducing operating costs. Without this resource, it would be necessary to maintain specialized local teams available around the clock. Satellite communication enables remote operations of power plants and substations located anywhere in Brazil, however remote.

Even in remote operation, the occurrence of any communication failure at the plant or substation may require the O&M team to be sent to the site to remedy the problem. Satellite communication technology is less prone to failure and has greater availability, which dramatically reduces the risk of having to mobilize local teams.
