Transelectrica SA strives to provide transmission, system, market, and metering services to all
of its grid customers in the Romanian electricity market. Transelectrica also secures power
generation dispatching and provides real-time control of the power system, while planning and
developing the transmission grid. Managing eight electricity transmission branches in key
Romanian cities and 8,800 km of overhead electric lines, Transelectrica must ensure the safe and cost-efficient operation of the Romanian Power System. Previously, Transelectrica’s organizational structure consisted of what was essentially a paper-based system for information exchange. Its applications lacked coherency, and only one branch was using GIS technology. The central office and remaining branches were not equipped for GIS. Transelectrica wanted to implement a solution that would provide a true enterprise geospatial system, one creating a central information repository and eliminating problems such as dual reporting.
The main requirement of the project was database software based on a centralized system. The company implemented a solution based on GeoMedia from Intergraph®.
