With the SCADA technology, Başkent EDAŞ can remotely fix the temporary breakdowns in electricity distribution lines due to contacting a tree branch or wind effect and that do not require any physical work much faster.
Başkent EDAŞ will invest an additional 75 million TL in 2022-2023 to further expand the aforementioned technology, which reduces the average 46-minute response time to 2 minutes.
Başkent Elektrik Dağıtım AŞ (Başkent EDAŞ), technology leader in electricity distribution, began using SCADA system that reduces the average 46-minute temporary problem resolving time to 2 minutes with remote intervention, thus enables faster response periods of 23-fold, in 70 percent of the power failure and supply operations.
Completing the tender periods for an additional investment of 75 million TL to expand the system in 2022, Başkent EDAŞ will expand the SCADA system and minimize the duration of power failures.
Başkent EDAŞ completed the tender periods for the activation of 180 SCADA centers (30,000 I/O), in addition to 1089 SCADA centers (200,000 Input/Output (I/O)) in the existing SCADA system at high voltage level. The construction works will be initiated this year.
Furthermore, Başkent EDAŞ will include 1000 SCADA centers (80,000 I/O) in the SCADA system in addition to 1423 SCADA centers (60,000 I/O), such as distribution transformers and measurement cabins with breakers in close proximity to the end users; and will activate 1247 overhead transformers (40,000 I/O) in the SCADA system in addition to 2000 overhead transformers (60,000 I/O) in this system.
How the system works
The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system enables electricity supply to be re-established remotely in a shorter period of time with computer-aided systems.
In cases that are defined as temporary breakdowns in electricity distribution lines due to contacting a tree branch or wind effect and that do not require any physical work much faster, energy can also be quickly re-activated remotely.
Moreover, in the event of forest fires or floods that endanger life, where energy deactivation is required, energy can be deactivated remotely in a much shorter period of time. Furthermore, electricity grid data can be monitored via the SCADA system and measures can be taken according to changing conditions.
Başkent EDAŞ, one of the three Enerjisa Distribution Companies in electricity distribution together with Toroslar EDAŞ and Ayedaş, sustains its activities in Ankara, Çankırı, Kırıkkale, Bartın, Kastamonu, Zonguldak and Karabük provinces.
