Aspen Technology, Inc., a global leader in industrial software, today announced that Interconexión Eléctrica S.A. E.S.P. (ISA), the largest multi-country energy transmission company in Latin America, is using its Digital Grid Management (DGM) solutions to deliver 99.99% reliability across approximately 16,395 miles of circuit throughout the region. ISA and AspenTech are partnering to ensure power is accessible, secure and reliably available to populations in Colombia, Peru and Bolivia.
“ISA is proud to supply 99.99% electric power transmission reliability to its customers,” said Gabriel Melguizo, Vice President, Energy Transmission Business, ISA. “For years, AspenTech has been an important partner by helping us achieve and maintain this level of service and scaling to meet new demands across our network. By implementing available software upgrades, we’ve gained access to new product and cybersecurity enhancements from AspenTech so we can continue to safely and effectively manage our high-voltage transmission network.”
ISA relies on AspenTech OSI monarch SCADA™, a flexible platform with advanced visualization, monitoring and control capabilities, and AspenTech OSI Energy Management System™(EMS) to balance transmission power in real-time. ISA also uses AspenTech’s operator training simulator to give operators firsthand experience managing system events and emergencies that could jeopardize power reliability. The integration of these solutions within the AspenTech DGM suite gives ISA comprehensive management and control over their complex energy system.
“AspenTech has significant experience helping industry leaders like ISA maintain power reliability and operational excellence,” said Sally Jacquemin, VP and GM, Power and Utilities at AspenTech. “Our enterprise-grade platform has helped ISA improve efficiencies and total cost of ownership, while successfully navigating the volatility that comes along with operating and maintaining a high-voltage transmission network. We look forward to continuing our partnership with ISA as the company provides leading energy reliability to millions of people in Latin America.”
