Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh - General Director of EVNHCMC speaking at the Information Announcement Ceremony of EVNHCMC ranked the Top 50 of the World Smart Grid Index
Up to now, EVNHCMC's power grid has automated 100% of medium voltage lines, making the operation of the power system more efficient and ready for rapid transmission within 2-3 minutes when there is a power failure; replaced and installed nearly 100% metres of telemetry, helping the Electricity industry and customers to monitor daily power usage; 100% of 110kV substations operate in an unmanned manner, monitored and controlled remotely.
The Corporation has built a modern data center; basically digitizing completes all two important stages: technical management and business-customer service; put into use a series of IT applications such as automation, power-failure management, power loss management, switchboard, customer care application, etc., thereby building a large-scale and complete database of the Ho Chi Minh City Electricity industry.
For the green energy sector, EVNHCMC connected and purchased electricity from 14,215 customers' rooftop solar power systems with a total capacity of 358,677MWp; ready to connect and receive power from 3 projects of waste-incinerated power plants (40MW/plant) to be built in Ho Chi Minh City. Besides, Ho Chi Minh City has 12,000 households equipped with solar water heaters (equivalent to 31MW and saving 16 million kWh/year).
“The outstanding mark in EVNHCMC's smart grid construction is that the entire process of system design and installation, and construction of management software is developed and effectively operated by EVNHCMC engineers. Thereby, the quality of power supplied to customers is getting better and better. Specifically, the power-supply-reliability index is continuously improved. In 2010, the average number of power outages per customer was 28.85 times/year, in 2022, it will decrease to 0.47 times/year. The average power-outage time per customer in 2010 was nearly 4,000 minutes, but by 2022, the figure will be reduced to 35 minutes", said Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh - General Director of EVNHCMC.
