The Oman Ministry of Electricity and Water wanted to reduce substation operating costs, while maximizing the use of existing assets. Other goals for the program were to improve substation electrical system performance, reliability, and security. GE Harris Energy Control Systems, LLC, Melbourne, Fla., was asked to create a fully redundant system that included prefabricated control buildings and outdoor cabinets that would be easily connected to existing substation apparatus.

GE Harris learned of the GarrettCom line of Industrial Ethernet products from Dynavar Networking, Inc., Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Dynavar, a high-tech provisioner of a wide variety of internetworking products in North America and around the world, recommended GarrettCom’s broad off-the-shelf line of flexible, highly reliable, DC-powered, extended-temperature Ethernet switches and hubs.
