RTU511 Pilot Projects Content


RTU511 Pilot Projects ZESCO RTU511



Zesco is the national power utility of Zambia (www.zesco.co.zm).

National Control Centre in Lusaka

Network Manager used to monitor the National Grid Substations

30+ RTUs (RTU400, SCS, RTU560)

Regional Control Centres in Lusaka and Kitwe

MicroSCADA used to monitor Distribution Substations

45 x RTU211, 2 x RTU232 in Lusaka

14 x RTU211 in Kitwe

Zesco identified as a possible pilot project candidate

Significant installed base of RTU211

Customer wants to keep their installed base of RTUs, but want to access new features offered by the RTU560

Customer has automatic supply changeover requirements for some substations that the PLC capability of the RTU511 could meet

Zesco approached in January to discuss the conducting of a pilot project with the RTU511

They offered Powerstation 11kV Substation at the Distribution Control Centre in Lusaka as a suitable site

RTU211 to RTU511 upgrade process

Migration done on site by ABB with customer involvement

Step 1: migration of engineering data by RTUtil500 after downloading configuration files from RTU211

Step 2: replacement of old CMU by new 511CMM01; process interface unchanged

Step 3: Plugin of SD cards with firmware and license

Step 4: download of migrated configuration data

Step 5: restart of RTU511

Step 6: IO test between RTU and control centre

RTU511 Pilot Projects BPC RTU511



Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) is the national power utility of Botswana (www.bpc.bw).

National Control Centre in Gaborone

Spider Release 10 used to monitor and control 68 transmission and distribution substations

Includes 19 Distribution substations in Gaborone using RTU210, communications over radio system using RP570


http://www.bpc.bw/

BPC identified as a possible pilot project candidate

Installed base of RTU210

Problems with RTU210 power supplies has caused them to start upgrading to RTU211

RTU511 pilot project using a new 511CIM01 Basic Module was suggested to BPC

BPC offered Substation 88, Nelson Mandela Drive in Gaborone as a suitable pilot site

Migration done on site by ABB with customer involvement

Step 1: migration of engineering data by RTUtil500 after downloading configuration files from RTU210

Step 2: removal of old RTU210 CPU and power supply modules, as well as old RTU210 adaptor boards

Step 3: installation of new 23AD62 adaptor boards for IO modules; all process wiring remains unchanged

Step 4: installation of new RTU511 basic module 511CIM01, with SD card containing firmware and license




Step 5: download of migrated configuration data

Step 6: restart of RTU511

Step 7: IO test between RTU and control centre



RTU210 to RTU511 configuration file conversion process:

Download configuration files (.cs1, .ed1) from RTU210

Import RTU210 configuration files into RTUtil500 to create new RTU511 configuration



from RTU210 to RTU511

RTU211 to RTU511 upgrade process is a success, with the customer happy with the result.

RTU210 conversion to RTU511 is a success, enabling life extension of old RTUs.

Migration / conversion of old RTUs is an important strategy to enable ABB to secure customers investments.

Migration / conversion of old RTUs allows customers to implement new features and capabilities, without going through the difficult and disruptive process of a complete new installation process.
