SUBSTATIONS

Substations are essential components of the transmission and distribution of electrical power grid. When a substation goes ‘off -line’ the situation is critical. Disruption can be caused by many events even outside of the utility’s or grid operator’s control, including natural extreme events like lightning strikes, fl oods, earthquakes etc. On the other hand, operational requirements such as maintenance procedure and refurbishment or retrofi t operations can turn the substation out of service by accident.

A mobile substation is a self-contained trailer or container equipped with high and medium voltage components of a whole substation. Power transformer, switchgear (GIS, AIS or Hybrid), measuring transformers, surge arresters, protection relays, AC and DC auxiliary power and control systems and other equipment are all there to meet client’s specifi c requirements.

Mobile Substations by Ampere is the solution to these events, helping to keep the grid operational and reducing dramatically the downtime

MOBILE SUBSTATIONS

Mobile substations are systems that off er mobility and fl exibility.

They can be prepared, transported and operational in a very short time, making mobile substations the ideal solutions for many contingencies, as:

Temporary supply throughout the planning and/or construction, upgrade, maintenance phase of a Main Substation

Ensuring continuity of service fairly quickly in case of extreme stormy weather conditions, fi res, sabotage,blackouts

Allowing temporary dispatch for seasonal extra energy requirement, events, or additional consumption in industrial plants or remote locations

Permanent or semi-permanent installation, in specifi c situations

• Maximum mobility and fl exibility• Reduced maintenance costs• No civil works cost• Maximum utilization and return on investment• Can be rapidly on site and available for service• Maximum reliability through customized design

• Limited space requirement• Minimal dismantling cost• Easy expansion and relocation• Resistance to weather and harsh environments

MOBILE SUBTATION COMPONENTS

HV/MV Transformer

Within the mobile substation, the HV/MV transformer item is the most demanding in terms of design mainly due to its weights and dimensions. The transformer is expected to pass directly from transportation to full operating condition to allow the shortest commissioning time of the whole substation. The transformer must leave the factory complete with all its parts, including HV bushings, cooling system, oil tank etc… It’s necessary to design the transformer adopting innovating solutions especially concerning the cooling system and the HV bushings. Considering the huge volume of the transformer, special manufacturing criteria must be used in order that transportation shocks can be properly absorbed.

MV Distribution

The purpose of Mobile Substations is mainly to feed MV systems; this can be done with standard MV distribution panels or, in order to optimize space, with SF6 insulated panels.

M Cables

MV cables for connection to the transformer and to distribution lines, provided with suitable terminations, can be loaded on the same semi-trailer and settled in drums for easy winding and unwinding operations.

A complete set of subsystems is normally installed or can be off ered as option i.e. HV/MV protection relays system; video monitoring/supervision by CCTV cameras through one or multiple PC workstations; batteries system; battery charger and also an auxiliary generator for emergencies.

TYPE OF MOBILE SUBSTATIONS

SKID

These factory-assembled and tested solutions are available for voltages up to 420 kV and are ideally suited for semi-permanent operations.Typically these “skid types” are used for integration of renewable energy production to the grid or to ensure the power supply to heavy industrial operations including mining and oil & gas exploration plants.

MOBILE

Trailer or semi-trailer-mounted substations off er easy mobility and fast relocation without the need for special transport permits. These solutions are available for voltages up to 420 kV and power ratings of up to 120 MVA. The units can be deployed on short notice, and are suitable for harsh environmental conditions and terrains, including deserts and mountainous areas.

CONTEINERIZED

Containerized mobile substations are sheltered and address applications in challenging environmental conditions including areas with intense pollution, high humidity, extreme temperatures or sand storms. Containers are easy to transport and fast to install reducing foundation civil works as well as installation and commissioning eff ort on site. These factory-assembled and tested solutions are ideally suited for permanent or semi-permanent usages. These include grid integration of renewable sources, power supply to urban areas, railways, off shore rigs, mining and exploration sites as well as other industrial operations.
