3.2. Communications Compartment
3.2.1. Wall-mounted
The Communications Compartment is located in the upper
part of the ekor.gid unit and is where the communication
components are housed; their primary purpose is to
transmit the readings taken by the customer's low voltage
meters to the Customer Management Centre.
The type of communications that can be established
between the ekor.gid unit and the Customer Management
Centre or the Control Centre are: GPRS, PLC-Medium
Voltage, optical fibre and radio.
The following communication equipment can be installed
in the ekor.gid unit:
1. PLC - Medium Voltage Modem
2. GPRS Router - modem
3. Switch
4. ADSL modem: GPRS Router - modem
All the components are connected to a protective earth and
therefore they can be directly accessed for maintenance,
configuration, etc.
The communication components already available in
the ekor.gid unit in the Transformer and/or Switching
Substation can be used for carrying out other additional
functions such as the ones listed below:
• Monitoring of the network. To accomplish this, the
ekor.rci integrated control unit monitors the Medium
Voltage network and communicates with the Operation
Control Centre by means of the ekor.gid unit's
communications components.
• The automation of the Transformer and/or Switching
Substation. In this case, the Substation includes an
ekor.uct Remote Control Compact Unit, or a
cgmcosmos-2lpt Compact Cubicle with Integrated
Remote Control Equipment that allows carrying out the
functions associated with the Automation and Remote
Control of the Substation (e.g.: the operation of the
switchgear, the displaying of the Substation's status,
etc.). The available ekor.ccp unit communicates with
the Operation Control Centre by means of the ekor.gid
unit's communications components.
3.2.2. Cubicle-mounted
The Communications Compartment reserved in the
ekor.gid-s corresponds to the volume on the inside of the
door. This location houses the communication elements,
the main aim of which is to transmit the readings made by
the low voltage meters of the consumers to the Customer
Management Centre.
The volume for the communication equipment between
the telemanagement elements of the ekor.gid-s unit and
the Customer Management Centre or Control Centre may
contain:
1. PLC - Medium Voltage Modem
2. GPRS Router - modem
3. Switch
4. ADSL modem: GPRS Router - modem
5. …
All the components are connected to a protective earth and
therefore they can be directly accessed for maintenance,
configuration, etc.
The versatility of the installation of the communication
elements thanks to their cubicle-mounted location, close to
the Low Voltage board and the automation devices, means
these communication systems can be used to generate
other communications architectures of other systems in the
Substation (Low Voltage Advanced Monitoring, Monitoring
of the Medium Voltage network, etc.).
