The project, which is expected to be completed by
the middle of year 2005, includes the construction of the control center
for the Lebanese power generation stations and power transmission
networks, and the supply and installation of all control hardware and
software. The project also includes the acquisition of fiber optic cables,
and remote terminal units (RTU) for installation in generation stations
and network substations, to form a control telecommunication network. All
other equipments required for the control center such as uninterrupted
power supply (UPS) and private automatic branch exchanges (PABX) are also
included. Engineering services and institutional support and training form
a part of the project. The main project components are as follow:
1- Civil Works: Include all
necessary works to prepare the present site of the existing control center
in the eighth floor of the EDL headquarter building, to house
installations and equipments included in the project, and to prepare parts
of the nineth and tenth floors to accommodate the control center hall and
staff offices.
2-
Data Processing Systems:
Include the acquisition of control system, computing equipments, high
availability computing network, file servers, workstations, video
displays, and control keyboards. It also includes operating systems,
control system software which covers supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) programs and energy management systems (EMS),
automatic generation control (AGC), and a suite of network analysis
programs comprising load flow and static and dynamic stability programs.
3- Telecommunication
Systems: Include the acquisition of remote terminal units (RTU) for
installation in the control center, generation stations and 220 kV, 150kV,
and 66 kV substations. It also includes acquisition of fiber optic
terminal, multiplexing equipments, power line carrier equipments (PLC),
and (PABX), in addition to work to upgrade and modify existing
telecommunication networks.
4-
Fiber Optic Network: Includes

substations.
6-
Adaptation Tasks: Include the
installation, and testing of all new systems and equipments in addition to
acquisition of measurement and testing equipments and spare parts for all
project components.
7-
Engineering Services: Include
the engineering and technical services needed for offers evaluation,
designs review and project supervision.
8-
Institutional Support: Includes
the control center staff training, and the consulting services needed to
upgrade existing administrative systems and its staff, and acquisition of
computers and software.
9-
Project Management Unit: Covers
the expenses of the unit overseeing project execution.
Financing:
The Arab Fund loan
