West Zone Power Distribution Company Ltd. (wzpdcl) has won the 2nd place by participating in the "Innovation Showcasing 2021" competition organized by the Ministry of Power, Power, Energy and Mineral Resources. Mr. Ratan Kumar Debnath FCMA, Managing Director (Addl. CHarge) of wzpdcl and Mr. Debashish Pal, Executive Engineer of Ozopadiko received the award on behalf of Ozopadiko. Also present at the award ceremony were Mr. Mohang Selim Uddin, Additional Secretary (Administration), Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, Mr. Selim Abed, Chairman, Ozopadiko and Additional Secretary (Coordination), Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources. All the existing 33/11 kV substations of Ozopadico (Voltage, Current, Load and other parameters) and the record of on / off feeders are recorded by the working SBAs in the manual logbook. In addition indoor feeders are turned on / off in front of the Live Panel which is risky for the working SBA. In the absence of a computerized data base, the information stored in the manual logbook is not conducive to future planning analysis.
It is also not possible to monitor the overall condition of the sub-center from the central control room. The strategic technology of the existing automation system is very expensive as it is dependent on foreign imports and at the same time had to rely on foreign engineers for maintenance / expansion work. To solve these problems, Joragate, Khulna 33/11 KV substation was constructed initially for implementation of Innovation Idea titled Low Cost Substation Automation System (SUS) with SCADA.
