From gas generator integration to MV switchgear commissioning, we deliver the control and protection systems that keep Nigeria's power and energy assets operational.
Nigerian power and energy operations face a unique set of constraints: the need for reliable islanded operation, complex synchronisation requirements between multiple generation sources, the integration of gas turbines and reciprocating engines with facility loads, and rigorous protection and safety standards that don't allow for compromises.
Light Automations delivers the control, protection and management systems that address these realities — from single generator control packages through fully integrated Power Management Systems spanning multiple generation sources and load centres.
Our work includes live commissioning at operational facilities of major operators, integrating Siemens-based gas generator control with the facility's broader Power Management System.
The real technical constraints in Nigerian power system delivery.
Gas turbines, reciprocating engines, and grid supply need to operate in parallel with seamless handover. We engineer the control logic that makes this reliable.
Full protection relay coordination studies, earthing designs, and fault level calculations — aligned with IEC and IEEE standards.
PMS integration spanning generators, switchgear, load centres, and operator interfaces. Load shedding schemes, black-start sequences, and economic dispatch logic.
Older generation control systems approaching obsolescence need migration plans that preserve operational continuity and interface cleanly with existing site infrastructure.
Installation, protection setting, and commissioning of low and medium voltage switchgear with full documented SAT procedures.
Distributed facilities need reliable telemetry and remote control — we deliver the communications infrastructure and SCADA layers to support unmanned or lightly-manned operation.
The specific capabilities power and energy operators need most.
Control package integration for gas turbines and reciprocating engines. Sync panels, protection, and PMS interface. Platforms include Siemens, Woodward, and DEIF.
Power Management System design and integration — generator dispatch, load shedding, breaker interlocking, and operator interfaces spanning multiple distribution levels.
Low and medium voltage switchgear installation and commissioning. Protection relay setting, trip testing, and formal SAT with documented test records.
Motor Control Centres, VFDs, and soft starters — specified and commissioned for Nigerian operating conditions. Protection coordination studies included.
Key OEM ecosystems for Nigerian power and generation applications.
Light Automations delivers industrial control and automation across multiple priority sectors in Nigeria.
