Chinese Power Plant Transmits and Distributes Electricity through Intergraph

Yunnan Power Grid (YNPG), a subsidiary of China Southern Power Grid and based in Yunnan province, China, has selected Intergraph geospatial solutions to manage its power transmission and distribution supply across the entire Yunnan province. The Intergraph technology will be used to build an integrated electricity transmission and distribution model that complies with the common information model (CIM) standard.

YNPG required a technology partner to ensure the efficiency, reliability and security of its power transmission and distribution management system. YNPG chose Intergraph for its geospatial technology and solutions.

“It was a choice to select Intergraph as our technology partner as YNPG moves forward to be the first utility in China to build an integrated electricity transmission and distribution model that is compliant with the CIM standard,” said Feng Yu Xi, CTO of Kunming Power Information Technical Company, a YNPG subsidiary that manages the IT systems of YNPG. “With an Intergraph technical team supporting YNPG, the solution will help ensure the efficiency and stability of YNPG's infrastructure management system.”

“With more than 40 years of experience serving the utilities industry, Intergraph has an understanding of the market's requirements and we have designed our technology to meet the needs,” said Tony DiMarco, Executive Director of Global Utilities & Communications for Intergraph. “The Intergraph solution will bring key data together into an integrated, spatially-enabled view, enabling YNPG to be more effective in managing its power transmission and distribution supply with increased productivity.”
