More than 50 small-scale SCADA projects
Russia, Kaliningrad
Over 2.5 thousand of objects integrated in SCADA
JSC Energomera, Tavrida electric and a consortium of partner companies
have implemented a distributed automation system for the 15 kV network 15 years of experience in the successful implementation of AMI Systems
in Mamonovsky and Bagrationovsky districts. Overhead line equipment and
substation switchgears integrated with the SCADA system provides control More than 4,000,000 metering points in the framework of the creation of AMI Systems
over the power distribution network. As a result of the project, utilities
reported a reduction in operating costs and power outages from 5 hours to
just 50 minutes. In the end, the Kaliningrad experience laid the Foundation
for a government-supported digital distribution model that will soon be
implemented in other regions of Russia.

Tulenergo
Russia, Tula

During the implementation of the project of an automated system for electricity

metering in Tula, more than 34,000 electricity meters were delivered. The
efficient operation of the system has reduced the SAIDI indicator by 53%, and
the SAIFI indicators by 73%, which has provided savings of more than 3 million
dollars in year.

Russia, Orenburg

Tavrida Electric implemented a turn-key automation project which included

the supply of 100 reclosers integrated with the SCADA system in Orenburg
district. The total cost of SCADA deployment was less than 15% of the cost
of primary equipment.
