Substation Categories, Type and Design (According to TNB standards) • Transmission Main Intakes (Pencawang Masuk Utama – PMU) Transmission Main Intake is the interconnection point of 132 k. V or 275 k. V to the distribution network. The standard transmission capacity and voltage Transformation provided at PPU are as follows: 132/33 k. V, 2 x 90 MVA 132/22 k. V, 2 x 90 MVA 132/11 k.

Design, Construction, and Commissioning Process Figure 1: Flow chart illustrated steps involved in establishing a new substation Surya Hardi
PROJECT PLANNING The major steps in executing project include the following • Award of contract • Preparation of quality of plan • Design of civil work, layout and Design of equipment • Opening of site office and preparation of site • Civil works: excavation, foundation, support structures, finishing • Receipt of equipment, structure at site, storing • Laying control cable and power cables • Laying of ground grid, ground spikes and ground riser • Installation of overhead shielding wire, steel structures, equipment • Transportation of power transformers • Installation on plinth, drying out and pre-commisisoning • Quality check of equipment, connection of control cables • Final commisionning and observation Surya Hardi • Handing over to the customers operating staff
Substation design considerations • Security of supply • Extendibility • Maintainability • Operational flexibility • Protection arrangements • Short circuits limitation • Land area • Cost Surya Hardi
Security of supply Loss of plant arising from a fault conditions or outages due to the maintenance. Extendibility The design should allow for future extendibility. Adding Bays of switchgear to a substation is normally possible and care Must be taken to minimize the outages and outage durations for construction and commissioning. Maintainability The design must take into account the electricity supply company system planning and operations procedures together with the knowledge of reliability and maintenance requirements for the proposed Surya Hardi substation equipment.
Operational flexibility The physical layout of individual circuits and groups of circuits must permit the required power flow control. In a two transformer substation operation of either or both transformers on one in-feed together with the facility to take out of service and restore to service either transformer without loss of supply would be a normal design consideration. Protection arrangements The design must allow for the protection of each system element by provision of suitable CT locations to ensure overlapping of protection zones. The number of circuit breakers that require to be tripped following the fault Surya Hardi
Short circuits limitation In order to keep fault levels down parallel connections (transformers or power sources feeding the substation) should be avoided. Multi bus-bar arrangements with sectioning facilities allow the system to be split or connected through a fault limiting reactor. Land area The cost of purchasing a plot of land in a densely populated area in considerable. Therefore there is a trend towards compact substation design. Cost A satisfactory cost comparison between different Substation layout designs is extremely difficult because of the differences in performance and maintainability Surya Hardi
