- Project Name: Load study
- End user: Bowman Plating
- Period: January 2015
Description: Rhyton Global supplied a panel with pre-installed NTPM100 smart power quality meters for real time monitoring and recording electric parameters of selected feeders in order to have precise values for the consumption of the production lines in different times of the working hours. Bowman Plating will utilise the information for power management and expansion plans.
Update on this project:
Having installed the smart meters on important feeders, Rhyton Global prepared a number of reports using the recorded data by the NTPMs (one month period). The reports revealed the sources of disturbance and loss on the internal power network. We recommended simple amendments and modifications with estimated annual saving (only on power bills) of more than five times the total cost of this project (including the metering panel, the accessories, and the reports. Other savings by lower maintenance costs of the equipment (due to the enhanced power quality) although not calculated, are considerable.
- Project Name: Factory Automation
- End user: Goodyear, Fulda, Dunlop,
- Period: Since 1990
Description: A series of application specific Ethernet RTUs with integrated log memory were developed. These RTUs are installed on each of the heating presses at the various production lines. At each production line, there may be up to 20 heating presses and at one production line, up to a total of 120 heating presses. RTUs monitor production data such as temperature and pressure, as well as status signals and alarms. Oracle DB server, WEB access 150 RTUs on Ethernet 10 * 2 zenOn servers in redundant configuration, 15 zenOn clients. In total more than 500 RTUs installed in several applications. A turnkey solution, including maintenance.

- Project Name: Télégéstion et SCADA du Réseau de Gaz
- End user: STEG
- Consultant: STEG
- Contractor: ABB Utiltities Gmbh, Mannheim – Germany
- Period: March 2005 to present
Description: The project covers the supply and installation of a complete SCADA system for gas distribution network in Tunisia covering 170 sites connected to 5 SCADA centers by Radio communication. Brodersen scope covered the procurement, programming, testing, commissioning and start- up of 170 RTU cabinets that include RTUs, redundant RF modems, marshalling terminal connectors with RF antenna and surge protection. In addition, Brodersen provided the RF survey and simulation, designed the communication system using IEC60870-5-101 over radio and implemented special drivers to communicate with specific field instruments such as chromatographs, calculators and correctors.
