Unipower AB had a big project in the Sultanate of Oman installing 200 power quality measuring devices in 50 substations in the outskirts of the city Sohar, and also smaller projects in the city Muscat. Finishing the project and summing up the lessons learned will be the main goal of this project.

Connection Problems were encountered with the measurement equipment in the Sohar region, about 20% had connection, the rest had no connection at all. The goal was to find a solution to the connection problem. At the end the solution was to establish the sim cardsof the routers in every station, even the stations that work. That required a presence in Oman and to access to the stations.

Other goals were to have meetings and discussions about different solutions, ideas or upgrades for the other customers for Unipower in Oman.

The work include an analysis of the procedure of the installation work in Sohar as well in Muscat and also a white paper on the experiences gathered. A project list was created based on these experiences.

The conclusion is that about 85% of the stations in Sohar now works, the other 15% does not work due to no reception inside the stations. Tests were made Showing the signals available hence the solution is to use an antenna outside each station to get a signal for the router.
