The remote control system (SCADA/DMS/OMS) of distribution power capacities in the Power Distribution of JP “Elektroprivreda HZ HB” d.d. Mostar was fully realized by putting into operation the Main Control Center in Mostar on 7 September 2022.

Elektroprivreda has fulfilled another step in the development strategy of modernizing the management of the distribution power system with a project whose value is €6.41 million. A German company PSI Software AG is a producer of the entire SCADA solution, and the project implementation has been carried out by PSI and KONČAR. The SCADA/DMS/OMS system with the associated telecommunications system was partly financed by the German KfW Development Bank (in the amount of €3,310,000 loan and €1,800,000 grant), while JP “Elektroprivreda HZ HB” d.d. Mostar secured the amount of €1,300,000 of its own funds.

The remote control of power facilities at medium voltage was made possible by the introduction of this system, the Main Control Center and Regional Centers were built and put into operation in Grude, Livno, Novi Travnik and Orašje, and the training of the staff was carried out.

A modern distribution SCADA/DMS/OMS system JP “Elektroprivreda HZ HB” d.d. Mostar will increase: the continuity and quality of power supply to all customers in accordance with the EN 50160 standard; safety and reliability of the functioning of the distribution network; data collection, production of statistics and all reports required by regulators and DSO (distribution system operator); assessment of the condition of EPOs (electric power facilities) and the depreciation period of the facilities will be extended. Network investment plans will be optimized; the safety and protection of employees working on the distribution system will increase; the management of maintenance and repair crews on the network will be improved and technical and financial losses will be reduced, which will directly affect better profitability.
