Three different places:• Urban areas• Semi-Urban areas• Rural areas

We need to know the network topology

ASPECTS TO CONSIDER

• Distances• Number of clients• Power topology (number of

transformers)• Type of lines (air, underground)• …………

THE IMPORTANCE OF TESTING

CERTIFICATION

DEPLOYMENT

APPROVAL IN LABORATORY

APPROVAL IN FIELD

CERTIFICATION• BASIC (Metrological,.......etc.)• DLMS APPROVAL: METER PROTOCOL• PRIME APPROVAL: MODEM plc (SERVICE NODE)

NECESSARY…. BUT NOT ENOUGH

PENDING: Integration, functional test...…

APPROVAL IN LABORATORY

• Interoperability Test• Functionality• Performance• Stability• …

NEW DEVELOPMENTS NEW TEST

MAINTENANCE

APPROVAL IN FIELD

• SELECT 1-2 secondary substations for test• Represent the different scenarios• With the same version of PRIME SW• Detailed analysis• Monitoring the test

DEPLOYMENT

• As a last step• After the test

INSTALL + VALIDATEThe importance of validation

CONSIDER

• We need to be clear the deployment plan, and steps to certify an installation I coordinate the installation of data

concentrators and meters? or are they two completely independent activities?

How can I validate an installation? What tools do I need?

• Thinking on how to adapt our IT systems to the new way of working

INSTALL IN THE SECONDARY SUBSTATION

• Cabinet installation• Installation of current transformers• Power Supply• Checking operation equipment

DC Communications

INSTALL IN THE CENTRALIZATION

• Installing Meters• Power supply• Check functioning and registration

LED PRIME!!!!

• LED PRIME– PLM: Activity PRIME– PLM: Try to register– PLM: Registered

• 1000 Imp /KWh – Imp/KVArh flashing: load

• PHONE: 432 connection

INSTALL IN THE CENTRALIZATION (II)

INSTALL IN THE CENTRALIZATION (III)

Sequence LED PRIME

1. FLASHING FAST

2. TURNS OFF

3. FLASHING 30 seconds

4. GOES TO Try to register

5. GOES TO Registered

VALIDATION OF THE INSTALLATION
