Introducing the project Power quality & reliability Challenges Drivers

Introducing the project Objectives Better service Power System Automation SCADA Control system Remote Control and Monitoring Benefits Minimise customer outages Time-saving solutions Cost reductions

DAS Project Scope RABAI Control Centre Repeater at Electricy House Repeater at Kwale Courtesy of Lucy Switchgear Ltd Pole mounted switches

DAS Project Scope 97 off 11KV overhead line site installations 57 off 33KV overhead line site installations 12 off 11KV ground mounted site installations A Control Centre, radio base station and two radio control repeating stations using a SCADA system supplied and commissioned by the vendor Courtesy of Lucy Switchgear Ltd

A close working relationship Providing knowledge and local expertise Location survey On the ground conditions The establishment of an agreed and clearly communicated strategy at the outset ensured Kenya Power was confident that the supplier would meet their requirements

DAS System Architecture

DAS Work Stations

Communications Architecture

Installation less than 18 months Successful installation Good working relationship Strong project management Managing the isolation and earthing Surge arrestors Earthing requirements Earthing works

Time Time Better planning Reduction in crew travel time Before DAS Fault repair Manual switching Fault isolation After DAS Fault repair Reliability improvement in network is proportional to feeder segmentation & automation Travel time to site Fault identification Travel time to site Fault isolation Fault identification

Reduction in customer minutes lost Average response time on identifying a fault / outage Before 1-2 hours After < 30 s Average time spent on performing switching / isolation for planned outages Customer minutes offline due to outages for transient faults Before 2-3 hours Before 1-2 hours After 2-5 mins After < 20 s

Energy related savings Reduction in energy not supplied Savings due to reducing technical losses Customer related Enhanced customer service through better restoration times Improved customer perception of Energy Supplier Improved technical capabilities of Energy Supplier

Future Plans Further expansion Asset database Gather essential data Remove, Refurbish or Replace Extend the life of existing assets with increased functionality Prioritisation
