Kalkitech

Kalkitech is the global leader in IEC 61850 substation gateways and SCADA solutions for electricity transmission and distribution networks. Their products enable digitizing existing substations — from 66 kV to 500 kV — without replacing in-service protection and control equipment, preserving investments in infrastructure up to 40 years old. The core principle is non-disruptive integration: the gateway operates in parallel with existing equipment, translates legacy protocols, and publishes data in IEC 61850 to the central supervision system.

The Arc One Gateway is the portfolio's centerpiece: an IEC 61850 Ed.2 substation gateway with simultaneous support for GOOSE, Sampled Values, and MMS, capable of mapping over 100 legacy protocols in a single unit — IEC 60870-5-101/104, DNP3, Modbus RTU/TCP, SEL MIRRORED BITS, PROFIBUS, and dozens more. A single Arc One can publish complete protection and control data for a 220 kV bay to the corporate SCADA and the transmission operator's management system. The Arc View SCADA platform, based on IEC CIM standards, enables direct interoperability with COES-SINAC systems and supervisors at Electroperu and regional distributors.

Peru's National Interconnected Electric System (SEIN) is undergoing transformation toward a smart grid under the National Energy Plan and OSINERGMIN mandates. Transmission companies — empresas de transmisión del SEIN — must implement remote supervision and control for substations in remote highland and jungle areas, many built in the 1980s-90s with electromechanical relays and proprietary protocols. Kalkitech Arc One enables this integration without supply interruption, during scheduled maintenance windows, with minimal impact on service continuity.
