Siemens to equip Egypt´s second largest city with ADMS and smart metering infrastructure
The picture shows the official signing ceremony with Gaber El Dessouki CEO of the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company and Frank Grunert, Head of Grid Control at Siemens in the front.
In addition, 300,000 smart meters
will be supplied, including the necessary hardware and software to establish an
advanced metering infrastructure. The implementation of the advanced software
solutions for distribution grids, and the rollout of hundreds of thousands of
intelligent field devices will help Alexandria Electricity Distribution Company
to increase operational and network efficiency, reduce network loads and losses,
and take efficient countermeasures before critical situations arise. Following
the partnership agreement signed with ESRI in July 2022, Siemens will also be
delivering ESRI’s Geographical Information System (GIS) within the scope of the
project.
“We are
very proud to be awarded a new contract to modernize the electrical grid,
because it reconfirms Siemens’ commitment to deliver world-class technology to
Egypt,” said Mostafa El-Bagoury, Siemens Egypt CEO. “We are also happy to work
again with JICA in Egypt. This project truly signifies what Siemens stands for:
providing technology with a purpose. With the rollout of hundreds of thousands
of intelligent field devices and advanced software applications, we will help
the operators to efficiently manage their networks and proactively guide them
before and during critical situations.”
“We
are very pleased that our customer has chosen Siemens to upgrade the
distribution grid in Alexandria with software,” said Sabine Erlinghagen, CEO of
Grid Software at Siemens. “Our software helps informed decision-making and
operational optimization to effectively reduce the cost of the distribution
grid. By visualizing the processes of the distribution grid at all times, our
customers are able to control a wide range of grid assets, and take action to
prevent critical situations before they happen.”
Between
2015 and 2021, around 28.5 GW of generation capacity was added to the Egyptian
power grid, enabling the country to become a power surplus nation. Egypt has
also increased its share of renewable energy resources (primarily wind and
solar) over the years. The development of the power grid needs to keep pace
with the installation of new power generation assets. For the distribution grid,
it is important to increase efficiency of the network and to reduce power
losses.
