(2010) GySEV Sopron- Szentgotthárd line reconstruction works with Prolan control systems

Area: AKF and ELPULT remote control systems, OHLE,
point-heating and substation control systems
Line length: 116km
Stations included: 10
Project timeframe: 2004 – 2010

Having the takeover process finished, GySEV aimed the overall renewal of the entire line, including both the open line and railway stations. Because of the increasing the line speed limit to 120 km/h, certain line corrections were necessary. Parallel with this, all the interlocking systems and auxiliary control systems has been replaced, where Prolan was committed with the delivery of it’s professional systems.

Beyond the integration of our AKF human-machine interface to Elektra interlocking systems our task was the implementation of a remote control for overhead line system objects, such as transformer substation, base sectional posts and switchyards.

Remote controlling the Elektra systems was established by the Prolan AKF application, which is a proven solution, known from earlier similar projects. In this project two installations are deployed at Körmend and Szentgotthárd stations, from here Ják-Balogunyom, Egyházasrádóc, Csákánydoroszló and Alsórönök stations are remote controlled. Thanks to the architecture provided by the new system the line CTM managers in Sopron have the same overview on the new line as it has been usual on the earlier integrated lines.

The Overhead Line Equipment control system is connected to the Sopron Electric Despatcher Centre, where the manager has the overview and command options over the entire line. Special objects in the system are the two line connecting and energy accounting facilities at the border between MÁV and GySEV the two railway companies, where interoperability in the energy switching was also a requirement.

The Prolan outdoor assembling activities many times fell on winter periods, when we had to work in hard weather conditions and under strict time pressure.
