Integration of Baraha 400/132 kV substation into DEWA 400kV System

client: DEWA

type: System Study (Transmission)

finishing date: November 2007

team: FICHTNER (Germany)-SEEC-EKC; EKC team: B.Popesku (Fichtner) – Project Leader, L. Oprea (Fichtner), P. Miksa, Dj. Dobrijevic, T. Martinovic, D. Orlic (SEEC), A. Saric (SEEC)

Objective of this study is to look into all possible options, discuss with DEWA officials and agree on an economical and reliable solution to connect the Baraha 400/132 kV substation to the existing/future 400 kV system. The system studies shall be conducted on the agreed solution so that DEWA system will perform within the prescribed limits after the proposed additions/modifications. For the first time and because of lack of space, 400 kV cable technology is to be used in DEWA. The system study should also address any requirements identified such as counter measures for reducing short circuit currents, dynamic stability counter measures, etc.
