Kenda wins series of contracts to upgrade tariff metering systems for RWE npower Meter care specialist Kenda Electronic Systems has recently been awarded a series of three contracts by RWE npower to upgrade the tariff metering systems at its Cowes, Tilbury and Fawley power stations. At Cowes, the recent installation of an additional circuit and other plant upgrades provided an opportunity for Kenda to supply a complete tariff metering cubicle, comprising main and check meters, a Kenda Meteor 32-channel outstation and all other cubicle components and wiring. In addition to the design, manufacture, QA, testing, delivery and site commissioning of the tariff metering panel, the contract also included the necessary meter compensation calculations. Following on from the Cowes upgrade, Kenda was then awarded the contracts for Tilbury and Fawley. Both sites are scheduled to have additional circuits installed during 2006 and, as part of this process, Kenda will be installing new meters, additional components and wiring. These contracts also covered meter compensation calculations. All three metering-system upgrades comply with the requirements of the Balancing and Settlement Code Procedures and the relevant metering Codes of Practice. Kenda was awarded the contracts because of the strength of its technical and commercial proposals, coupled with the company's long track record in the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of metering data collection systems for the electricity-supply industry. 31st July 2006 Ref.
