YEREVAN, February 11. /ARKA/. ABB AB (Sweden) & Eltel Network (Finland)
joint company has won the international tender for implementation of
the first stage of SCADA system introduction in Armenia, Armenian
Deputy Energy Minister Ara Simonyan said on Monday, during the
procedure of signing appropriate agreement between Armenian electric
energy system operator and the Sweden-Finnish company.
The project totals AMD 1.330 billion yen ($11 million). "The tender was
held under the credit agreement signed between Armenian government
and Japanese International Cooperation Bank (JBIC)", the deputy
minister said.
He said 14 220-kilowatt substations and 12 mid-capacity and powerful
generating stations are involved in SCADA system.
Simonyan said that data will be swiftly sent to the operator through
optical fiber cables built-in lightning-rod ropes of high-voltage
lines.
The deputy minister said that the data will be collected in computer
database. He said his will make it possible to run electric energy
system effectively, set precise regimes and ensure stability as well
as to carry out remote control on substations.
He also said that the system introduction will make it possible to
deal with various breakdowns through central control facilities.
Simonyan said that favorable conditions are created for SCADA
introduction thanks to some investment programs implemented in
recent years.
He said three 220-kilowatt substations have been reconstructed under
German KfW Bank's credit program and eight substations of the same
capacity have been reconstructed thanks to financial means received
from World Bank.
The deputy minister said that an agreement is reached with Germany
on reconstruction of a substation in Gyumri.
SCADA (Supervisory for Control And Data Acquision) is one of the
leading software products for monitoring, administration and data
collection.
The credit agreement was signed between Armenia and Japanese JBIC
bank in 1999.
Under this agreement, Japan provides 1.5 billion yen to Armenia as
preferential loan.
The loan is given at 1.8% annual interest rate. The loan repayment
will start in 2009 and last 20 years.
The credit agreement consists of two parts - SCADA system introduction
and a 110-kilowatt substation reconstruction.
