 The following is a list of electrical design services that we can provide:

The retrofit objectives

The retrofit has three main objectives:
• Replacing the 24KV and 36KV stations with modern GIS stations.
• Modernization of the control and protection systems.
• Expanding the HV station.
All along the retrofit process, the station should remain operative.

The retrofit content

The retrofit will include the following:
• Expansion of the HV station – Lengthening the HV busbars and adding three HV bays
(two measuring bays, and one line bay).
• Conversion of one existing line bay to a transformer bay, and adding one 161/24KV
30MVA transformer.
• Replacement of the existing two metal-clad 24KV busbars with a modern GIS station with
three busbars. The GIS is to be supplied by ABB SACE.
• Replacement of the existing two AIS 36KV busbars with a modern GIS station with two
busbars. The GIS is to be supplied by ABB SACE.
• Replacement of the existing electro-mechanical control system of the substation with a
modern digital control and protection system «GE POWER» (Supplied by GE MULTILIN),
with a communication protocol IEC61850.
