Scope of the project<br />
• GOAL: To deploy advanced meters together with<br />
new PLC techniques for improving metering<br />
management and network distribution automation<br />
• SITE: Modern housing project in Bilbao<br />
• SIZE: 1,100 meters and 8 transforming centers<br />
• TECHNOLOGIES APPLIED: Advanced<br />
multifunction digital meters with PLC “A” band<br />
<strong>com</strong>munication<br />
• PARTNER:<br />
9
Architecture<br />
• metering subsystem<br />
• <strong>com</strong>munication subsystem<br />
• data acquisition subsystem<br />
10
<strong>Metering</strong> subsystem<br />
• Digital A+R class 1 single and three-phase meters<br />
• TOU and load profile functionality<br />
• Built-in PLC modem<br />
• Built-in automatic programmable breaker<br />
11
Communication subsystem<br />
•Transforming center concentrator TCC<br />
•Automatic identification and registration of<br />
new installed meter<br />
•Meter polling for reading data acquisition<br />
•Meter time synchronization<br />
•Inductive coupling<br />
•Link between low and medium voltage<br />
carriers<br />
•Substation data manager<br />
•Data concentrator<br />
•TCC management<br />
•Sends meter data to billing center<br />
•Sends control data to SCADA<br />
12
Set of SW applications and tools to:<br />
• transmit data over the powerlines<br />
• reading and programming the<br />
concentrators and the data manager<br />
• interface with the existing billing systems<br />
Data acquisition subsystem<br />
13
Enhancement of the AMM project<br />
• DISTRIBUTION AUTOMATION<br />
• Fault location and service<br />
restoration functionality<br />
• TC CONTROL<br />
• Status of breakers<br />
• Transformer continuous<br />
monitoring<br />
To be implemented in 2006<br />
14
Status of the project<br />
• Meters, concentrators, couplings in service<br />
• System in full operation since July 2005<br />
15
Future deployments plans<br />
• Select more sites during 2006 with different<br />
environments:<br />
• Urban areas with brand new housing<br />
• Urban downtown areas<br />
• Rural areas<br />
• Increase number of meters to various thousand units in<br />
2006<br />
• Selective implementation of distribution automation<br />
and TC monitoring functionality<br />
16
Lessons learned<br />
Remote reading is not enough!<br />
Standards are strongly re<strong>com</strong>mended!<br />
Real possibilities for Load Control and<br />
Demand Side Management policies<br />
What are the benefits for the customer ?<br />
17
Conclusions<br />
• Technology is stable and reliable<br />
• Lack of Standards<br />
• Analysis of Field results<br />
• technical<br />
• savings <strong>com</strong>pared to traditional<br />
meter reading<br />
• Service continuity<br />
• Regulatory issues<br />
• metering activity costs must be<br />
covered<br />
• customers to receive price signals<br />
• ownership<br />
