Automation Presentation to KIB-TEK, Northern Cyprus (19/09/2007) Introductions Graham Pryce – International Sales Manager Lucy Switchgear, United Kingdom Topics Covered What can Lucy Switchgear offer? Our Proposal How will KIB-TEK benefit from investing in Automation systems? Project References Any Questions? What can Lucy Switchgear offer? What can Lucy Switchgear offer? Over 15 years of experience in the design and implementation of distribution automation systems Full turnkey automation system solutions All the necessary building blocks for an automated system including: - automated medium voltage switchgear - Retrofit actuator systems - Remote terminal units to provide the telecontrol interface - Communication options - SCADA system for monitoring and controlling the secondary automated sites What can Lucy Switchgear offer? Automation services include: - System design & integration - Communication surveys - Factory acceptance testing in UK - Comprehensive training for products & systems supplied i.e. first line support by KIB-TEK - Project management from system design to final commissioning On-going technical support Long term relationship and understanding of KIB-TEK’s requirements Local support from E&S Ltd, our representative in Northern Cyprus Our Proposal Lucy Switchgear’s Proposal Apply the concept of remote control/ automation to a substantial part of the KIB-TEK 11kV distribution network Identify rogue circuits where benefits could be quickly realised Implement a standalone secondary SCADA system to facilitate an efficient roll-out of the project. Upgrade existing distribution assets with automation functionality e.g. ring main units and ABSDs on the 11kV network or new equipment, where appropriate Lucy Switchgear’s Proposal Utilise a mix of communication media such as high power radio and GSM and a de-facto standard protocol such as DNP3 KIB-TEK staff to be trained to provide first line support for automation systems installed Our approach could be implemented within a six to nine months period with sufficient commitment and resource Take advantage of the Automation experience gained by Lucy Switchgear both in the UK and elsewhere in the world How will KIB-TEK benefit from investment in Automation systems? How will KIB-TEK benefit? Enhanced understanding of the state of the distribution network Improved network performance e.g. faster restoration times, availability and security Reduction in the loss of revenues through the meters during outages Enhanced customer service through better restoration times How will KIB-TEK benefit? Decrease in costs associated with operational staff and transport Extend the life of existing assets with increased functionality Improve customer perception of KIBTEK Project References Project References EDF Energy, UK: On-going supply of automated SABRE VRN2a with integral RTU suitable for communicating over a data packet network. S&SE, UK: 750 retrofit automation kits installed comprising actuator and interface control electronics. Also trialing 6 off RAPIER GX-RC/S12 with GSM communications and the DNP3 protocol ECG, Ghana: 35 automated sites both on the 11kV ring main units with retrofit actuators/ RTUs and 33kV air break switch diconnectors – all communicating through radio links and the DNP3 protocol Project References EAC, Cyprus: 85 RMU retrofit actuators and 60 Rapier RX-RC24s for a remote control pilot project. Rapier RX-RC24 devices are embedded with IEC 60870-5-101 firmware and communications achieved via the GSM network. Central Networks, UK: Trials of automated FRMUs for Auto-changeover at open point and Auto-open at midpoint. Equipped with Gemini-RTU and Paknet communications. 350 off Rapier RX-RC12’s installed on network. Also, over 80 retrofit actuator/ G2-RTU packages installed Northern Ireland Electricity, UK: Trials of Rapier RX-RC12s being remotely controlled using the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol and high power radio communications. 120 off Gemini-RTUs supplied for autorecloser interfaces. NEC, Sudan: Over 35 automated SABRE VRN2a installed at mid and open points; equipped with G2-RTUs and GSM communications. Any Questions Arising?
