Substation Automation Systems (SAS)

We specialize in the design, configuration, and implementation of IEC 61850-based digital substation automation systems.
We have extensive experience working with leading OEMs and system integrators to provide:

  • SAS architecture design, system engineering, and integration.

  • Configuration of IEDs, bay control units, and protection relays.

  • HMI development and integration with SCADA systems.

  • Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and commissioning support.

  • Retrofit and migration of legacy automation systems to modern IEC 61850 standards.

Our goal is to enable interoperable, scalable, and future-ready substations that improve grid reliability and operational visibility.

Protection Engineering

Protection are at the heart of a stable power system. GAPS provides comprehensive protection engineering services covering

  • Design and coordination of protection schemes for transmission, distribution, and industrial networks.

  • logic configuration, and performance validation.

  • Implementation of differential, distance, overcurrent, and transformer protection schemes.

  • Testing, commissioning, and maintenance of protection systems.

  • Refurbishment and modernization of existing protection systems.

We ensure that your protection systems operate selectively, reliably, and securely to minimize downtime and protect critical assets.

SCADA, Control, and Communication Systems

We design and deploy advanced SCADA and control solutions for substations and control centers that enhance operational awareness and control efficiency.
Our services include:

  • SCADA system architecture design and configuration.

  • Integration of RTUs, gateways, and communication devices.

  • Protocol engineering (IEC 60870-5-101/104, DNP3, Modbus, IEC 61850).

  • Communication network design using fiber optics, Ethernet, and redundant architectures.

  • Network testing, simulation, and diagnostics.

GAPS ensures seamless interoperability between control centers and field devices, improving data visibility and decision-making.

Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure

With the increasing digitization of power systems, cybersecurity is no longer optional — it’s essential.
GAPS provides specialized cybersecurity services tailored for the energy sector, including:

  • Risk assessments and vulnerability analysis for OT environments.

  • Design and implementation of secure network architectures compliant with IEC62443, IEC 62351 and NERC CIP standards.

  • Hardening of IEDs, firewalls, and gateways.

  • Intrusion detection, monitoring, and incident response planning.

  • Security audits, training, and compliance consulting.

We help clients protect their critical infrastructure against emerging cyber threats while maintaining operational continuity.

 Training, Consulting, and Technical Support

Knowledge transfer and capacity building are integral to our philosophy.
We offer tailored training and consulting services that cover:

  • IEC 61850 engineering and system configuration.

  • Protection relay & BCU configuration.

  • SCADA and communication protocol engineering.

  • Cybersecurity best practices for operational technology environments.

  • Hands-on workshops for testing and maintenance.

Through our training and support programs, we empower clients to operate and maintain their systems confidently and efficiently.
