Liandon designs, implements and maintains public and private electricity networks and infrastructures for hospitals, greenhouse growers, metal manufacturing and the paper industry. In addition, we contribute to the innovation of these networks and embrace new management and maintenance technologies.
For the time being, the existing robust infrastructure will continue to provide the basis for intelligent networks. The big challenge is to upgrade this infrastructure by adding new technological applications and an integrated information and communication structure. This will enable us to create smart grids that can continue to meet the ever-increasing demands in terms of:
Innovations in the maintenance of mid-voltage and high-voltage installations reduce the occurrence and costs of failures through more efficient maintenance. We use acoustic, thermographic and high-frequency technology for diagnostics.
Liandon is already making the transition from mechanical engineering to information technology in various areas. In our studies into superconductivity we are going a step further by introducing entirely novel materials for the transmission of electricity. If successful, these initiatives will have a major impact on the architecture of our networks and our environment. After all, working with superconducting cables can mean more transmission capacity using less space as well as increased safety.
By constructing glass fibre connections, Liandon supports private sector systems for e.g. the protection and management of the power supply for the Amsterdam tram system. In the case of public networks, Liandon constructs glass fibre connections that enable communication with the operational control centres. In addition, Liandon is working closely with Liander to create an IT infrastructure for an earlier and more accurate detection and localisation of failures – often before they escalate into major problems. Result: less ‘downtime’ and lower costs. Moreover, there is virtually no electromagnetic radiation when using superconductivity. Would you like to know more? Then read all about superconductivity .
With partners KCI and Toshiba, Liandon has developed a new Compact Offshore Substation (COSS) to address offshore challenges. The core design element is to remove the heavy oil based transformers on an offshore substation. This includes their space and weight consuming auxiliary systems such as protection, oil store tanks and oil dumping tanks. Learn more.
