Our regular commercial project, associated with ADDAX IMS implementation in the electrical energy distributing network Vallebygdens-Energi (Skara Kommun), successfully moves ahead in Sweden.

In accordance with the Project the Metering system should provide remote collecting of energy consumption data from more than 2500 metering points, placed in several settlements. At the present moment two from three of planned segments are already put into operation.

PROJECT PARAMETERS

Settlements:	Axvall, Varnhem, Bjurum
Total number of meters:	more than 2500
Total number of 10/0.4 kV transformers:	more than 220
Number of 33/10 kV substations:	3

Project feature consists in wide-scale using of LV Power Line (0.4 kV) and MV Power Line (10 kV) for data exchange between the Center and meters, distributed over a large area.

On March, 2005 the System Acceptance Tests of the ADDAX IMS were performed at Vallebygdens-Energi (Axvall). The tests were carried out with complete success, and the System functionality and operability were confirmed entirely.

TC Connect, the distributor of ADD GRUP, continues the implementation of the ADDAX-based AMR-Systems on the Swedish utilities networks. Within SAMS project there are:

• 10 000 meters in Umea Energi (installed of a total of 50 000 meters);
• 5 000 meters in Sundsvall Elnat (installed of a total of 35 000 meters);
• 3 000 meters in Ljusdal Elnat (installed of a total of 4 500 meters);
• 500 meters in BTEA(installed of a total of 7 000 meters).

Within other projects TC Connect has installed:

• 3 000 meters in Vallebygden Energi;
• 5 500 meters in Herrljunga Elektriska;
• 4 500 meters in Grastorp Energi;
• 2 000 meters in Hjartum Energi;
• 200 meters in Kvanum Energi.
