Improved grid reliability
The Nemo Link interconnector is a joint venture between National Grid Interconnector Holdings Limited, a subsidiary company of the UK’s National Grid Plc, and the Belgian Elia group. The interconnector electrically connects Belgium and the UK providing both countries with improved grid reliability and access to sustainable generation. Nemo Link consists of subsea and underground cables connected to a converter station in each country, which allows electricity to flow in either direction between the two countries.
Efficiency and especially transparency
With the Ultimo EAM software, Nemo Link has greatly improved its overview of the relevant assets. There is always insight and control over activities. Kristof Geens, Asset Manager Converters: “We have one major maintenance stop per year at the converter stations in the United Kingdom and Belgium. With the Ultimo system, we can coordinate all preventive as well as corrective maintenance work involved in this in a clear manner. There are also many external contractors on the floor. That has to be managed properly. Ultimo is the perfect tool for this.”
Incorporate data of the assets in Ultimo
Kristof Geens appreciates the ease of use of the system. I was very impressed with the way in which we were able to incorporate the data of our assets into the system in a simple and structured way. Asked what makes working with the Ultimo organization so enjoyable, Kristof Geens says: “Working with the people at Ultimo is very professional, it feels like a partnership. They think along with us proactively about our problems. They also give us specific advice on suitable training courses or additional functionality, for example.”
