Installation of remote control in ¼ of MV/LV Substations of the underground Network
Pilot projects of Xanthi area
We have the big idea. We are testing it on a small scale. We're scaling it up across the country!
The Xanthi region is a “pilot” for DEDDIE to test all new innovative technologies.
Extension of the Geographical Information System
- Setting up a mobile app to receive the geospatial coordinates of Energy Consumers
- Receiving the coordinates of all customers in the Prefecture of Xanthi
- Connection of all ECs to the Low Voltage Network
- Interconnection of the Call Centers with the GIS
Expected results
GIS interconnectivity shall expand to include all Medium and Low Voltage customers
Easy and accurate calculation of SAIDI quality index
Searching for the customer's connection point using either the customer's Supply Number or address
Upgrading of the fault detection capabilities in the Network, when faults are announced by the customers to the Call Centers, and their correlation with the Network
Improvement of the usage possibilities of the Network
Upgrading of peripheral equipment of remote controls in networks
- Installation of remote control in ¼ of MV/LV Substations of the underground Network
- Installation a Fault Indication Device with remote reading capability at each part of the underground Network
- Study to determine the permanent interconnection limits of MV Lines, having as a criterion the minimization of energy losses
- Supervision of the Network using the SCADA (drawing of the underground Network in the SCADA)
Expected results
Detection of the fault site in < 2 min
Resupplying 80% of the customers in < 5 min
Resupplying all customers in < 15 min
Improvement in energy losses by 35%
Decrease in the number of faults, over 5-7 years, to 30%
Improvement of the usage possibilities of the Network

Installation of 95 Fault Indication Devices, of three different technologies, to detect any fault in the overhead Network
- Assessing the best technology, adapted to the features of HEDNO overhead Medium Voltage Distribution Network
- Determining the best possible location of the Indicators in the Network to minimize the customers’ resupply time
Use of drones for data collection from the Network in the field and entering them in the GIS
- Assessing the methodology of Network mapping in the GIS using drones, in receiving and entering data of the Network from the field relating to speed-quality-cost.
