The challenge

The purpose of installing GridLight™ was for ADWEA to achieve a state-of-the-art streetlight solution with full detection, monitoring, and control functionalities. With a centralized solution, savings are achieved through optimizing burn hours, reducing maintenance, and improving bulb-life.

The solution

ADWEA requested a turn-key solution where Amplex supplied everything from hardware to field staff. An initial field survey was carried out to establish the scope and the state of the control cabinets. The solution included:

AMS (Amplex Module System) installed in control cabinets
Power meters, installed in control cabinets
Deployment tool (PDA)
Data center platform and server equipment
Control room, designed and built
Integration to relevant GIS and SCADA systems
Training and ongoing support

The firmware modules (AMS) are designed and built to endure the extreme environmental conditions of the GCC area, withstanding wide temperature ranges and resistance towards desert environment conditions.

The web-based user interface provides easy access to reports, settings, user permissions, etc. via a highly secure connection. Communications are based mainly on GPRS. The open architecture (OpenCity™) allows for easy integration to other solutions.

With power meters in the control cabinets, the solution enables power quality monitoring and immediate reports on power failures to the central server and via email or SMS to the supervisor.
