30-Oct-2019. Elsis TS signed a contract with the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service under the Ministry of Environment (LHMT) for the modernisation of the lightning detection system.

Currently, the LHMT meteorological observation network operates a low-frequency lightning detection system from the manufacturer Vaisala Oyj (Finland), which allows the detection of low-frequency cloud-to-ground (hereinafter – CG) lightning discharges (the accuracy of the location of the CG discharges is currently 500 m in the territory of the Republic of Lithuania), determine the location, polarity and intensity of CG discharges, group individual discharges in real time and display repeatability values, and transmit and display data in real time for analysis.

The lightning detection system currently consists of three Vaisala LS7000 sensors installed at the Biržai, Šilutė and Varėna meteorological stations and a Vaisala TLP100 central processing unit which processes and analyses the primary data sent by the sensors.

This contract will upgrade three existing sensors and the lightning detection CPU system, as well as install and integrate a fourth sensor at the Raseiniai automatic meteorological station. The work will allow the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service to monitor data more accurately and reliably and to avoid incomplete coverage of the territory of Lithuania in the event of an unforeseen failure of any station.

The contract was concluded within the framework of the European Union Structural Funds-funded project “Upgrading of the Hydrological and Meteorological Observation Network” No 05.1.1-APVA-V-004-01-0007.

The contract is worth more than EUR 167 000 excluding VAT and the work is scheduled to be completed by 03.05.2020.

The contract will involve the modernisation of the simulator at ESO’s Panevėžys training base, which will include the upgrade, calibration and testing of the simulator’s tele-management and automation system (TAS), as well as the provision of technical support and software upgrade services for a period of three years. The project will contribute to the qualification of ESO staff as well as to ensuring safety in gas distribution networks.

The contract will be completed by 9 July 2022.

02-Jul-2019. ELSIS TS has signed a contract with  AB Energijos skirstymo operatora (ESO) for the supply of Micro TSPU and other telemetry equipment for collection and transmission of DSRU tele-information and related works and services.

ESO’s main functions are: guaranteeing the supply of electricity and gas, the introduction of electricity and gas, the operation, maintenance, management and development of the electricity and gas distribution networks, and ensuring their security and reliability. ESO serves more than 1.6 million customers throughout Lithuania.

The contract will provide new Micro TSPU (Teleinformation Capture Transmission Unit) controller kits with power supply equipment, battery packs and communication equipment, installed in anti-vandal cabinets, for the collection, storage and transmission of telemetry data of the gas distribution network to the telemetry information system of ESO’s dispatch centre.

The contract, worth more than EUR 458 thousand excluding VAT, will be completed on 1 June 2020, with an option to extend the contract until 1 June 2022.

10-Jun-2019. Elsis TS has signed a subcontract agreement with a consortium represented by EG Ehitus AS, Scanweld AS and Alvora UAB for the construction of the automation system for the Baltic Connector gas pipeline on the Estonian side.

“The Baltic Connector project is being jointly implemented by Baltic Connector Oy of Finland and the Estonian gas transmission system operator Elering AS. “Baltic Connector is a gas pipeline link between Finland and Estonia that will connect the Finnish gas market to the Baltic network and gas storage in Latvia, and through the Baltic States to the European common energy market.

“The Baltic Connector consists of a 21 km onshore section in Finland, a 77 km offshore section between Inkoo in Finland and Paldiski in Estonia and a 55 km onshore section in Estonia.

The contract will include the automation of the Gas Reduction Station (GRS), the Linear Shutoff Stations (LSS) and the Start-Up and Receiving Stations (PS) of the onshore part of the Baltic Connector Estonia.

The project will contribute to the construction of the Baltic Connector bi-directional natural gas pipeline between the Finnish and the Estonian part of the Baltic Connector, which connects the Kiili-Paldiski DN700 MOP54 pipeline.

The contract value exceeds €750,000 and the work is scheduled to be completed in phases by 20 September 2019.

The subcontracting services will be provided jointly with UAB Elsis PRO.

The telemetry system currently used during the execution of the contract will be split into two separate systems: a remote process control and management system (SCADA IS) and a gas metering data acquisition information system (DAPDS IS).

The SCADA part will be replaced by a newer, more modern, technologically advanced system with significant scope for further development and modernisation. It is based on the FAST/TOOLS® software product, designed, developed and widely used worldwide by Yokogawa Electric Corporation, for the efficient management of production and technological processes.

Successful implementation of the project will allow for increased reliability of gas transmission and flexibility in system management to achieve the objectives set out in the National Energy Independence Strategy.
