To Face vast increase in loads,
and for a cost of AED600 million
4 stations of 240
MW were constructed
to support Al Ain
Electricity Grid
Mohammad binOmair Al-Shamsi,AADC
general manager said that company is
keen to use the most advanced systems
in water and electricity distribution,
to guarantee provision of the best
services to clients, in the best quality,
and distinguished manner, to fulfill
customers aspirations.
He assured that AADC is working
through its strategic plan to enhance
efficiency and excel in providing its
services to customer, by providing that
most accurate system for water &
electricity meters reading, free of any
errors that may affect customer.
Regarding the new device, Ahmad Abdul
Wahab Qandeel electric engineer in
AADC, stated that system is considered
an integrated lab able to check 20
electricity meters at the same time, in
all kinds electric or electronic, in all kinds
of loads, before being installed in the
---
Project included replacement of 3 old
stations by three 60 MV stations in
addition to some expansions to 33 KV
and 11 KV boards in current stations.
Project included also construction
of 33 KV/B ground cables, and 11 km
overhead lines, for more than 100 km
across different external roads across Al
Ain City.
Bin Omair directed attention to the
fact that project aims to fact major
increase in loads, due to accelerating
urban development across the city,
to cope with industrial development
around the city, and to accommodate
new connection applications without
any defect.
Al Shamsi added that the project,
considered the largest of its type
executed by AADC, concentrates on
enhancing 33 KV grid across the city,
providing that project shall multiply
engineers ability to control electricity
grid through AADC main control center.
New ground cables were executed
according to security & safety standards
and to guarantee uninterrupted current,
due to severe climate conditions,
most accurate reading across the world.
System is able to perform simulation
to all kinds of loads charged to meter
on site, on accuracy legal of 0.01%, in
addition to its ability to explore inactive
energy, and waves and frequency
difference of basic frequencies.
Hani Hamdi Al-Sayed, water meters
engineer stated that the new device
is able to check water meters in
their different volumes, according to
customer connections, according to
permitted quantity of water. New
system is able to check any meter
before being erected.
to enhance control and monitor
processes, at the same time to control
annual maintenance cost and extend
equipment operation age.
Total number of 33/11 KV stations
across Al Ain was 155 stations, with a
total capacity of 4892.5 MV/amp.
On the other hand, Eng. Mohammad Al-
Maamari, Projects Department Manager
at AADC said that contractual period to
complete project was 24 months under
the supervision and management of
AADC projects engineers.
Al-Maamari directed attention to the
fact that project aims to provide the
highest protection means, in addition to
modern connection system, including
cables, fiber optics, central control units,
detection & measurement systems
to allow for complete control through
AADC main control center.
Projects Department Manager added
that company implements the best
operational standards to enhance
networks capacity, and to control
defects, through effective and studied
maintenance programs, according to
the best global practices, in addition
to advanced programs to manage
spare parts, and tools to estimate asset
operational life, and control operation
cost.
Al-Maamari stated that new and
replaced stations covered 7 different
areas across the city, Al- Hili, Nema,
Al Alya, Al-Ghadeer, & Al-Niyadat,
in addition to Al-Ain Wildlife Park,
noting that all stations crossed actual
operation stage and were now under
warranty period.
Al-Maamari highlighted AADC role
in support of local community and
provide opportunity to specialized
students from both UAE University and
High Colleges of Technology, to benefit
from project different aspects, within
practical and field training programs,
in coordination and cooperation with
AADC & the concerned authorities.
Project was utilized also for training
national citizens of AADC new
staff members, according to a well
coordinated program within AADC
policy, aiming to build a strong work
team of highly qualified national citizen
members.
Project Department Manager assured
that AADC owns necessary potentials
and technologies to enable company
to manage its projects in an efficient
manner, to cover continuous growth and
development on water and electricity
services, and to support accelerating
growth witnessed all over the UAE.
AADC completed four new 33/11 KV stations, for a total
capacity of 240 MW/amp, and cost of AED600 million,
according to Mohammad bin Omair Al-Shamsi, AADC
General Manager.
AADC continues its efforts to develop technologies and update all systems used in connecting its
services, water and electricity to subscribers. AADC began using one of the most advanced and
accurate system all over the world to inspect electronic & mechanical water & electricity meters
before installation, to allow provision of errorless meters, and to rationalize energy consumption,
and cut time and effort required
for inspection, as new system is
able to check 20 meters at the
same time.
