Restructuring of the power electrical distribution system
This is a project that belongs to the Electricity Distribution Company (EDC) which needs to restructure the power distribution network. During this project, all of the distribution network problems were solved which considered the future urban plan and needs. In normal conditions, it takes 1 a month for designing a 4 km length.
This restructuring consists of many items like replacing the power bare copper wire with Aluminium Self-retaining cables, power flow calculations, replacing or renewing the electrical tower (if needed) according to urbanism problems, generating a bill of materials for network collection, etc.
Project specification:
First of all, the BOM of the existing network should be reported according to GIS data and visual check, consisting of the distribution tower, insulator, supports, arms and lighting.
The next step is to model the network to software like ETAP or CYM dist. And verifying the size of the self-retaining cable (AL-XLPE) and the number of the circuit for each feeder.
Restructuring of the power electrical distribution system
Then, the upstream substation should be considered and revised, if needed.
Finally, the new distribution network design should be presented in the GIS system of the Distribution company and a technical report for construction and the tender document will be prepared.
This project is currently ongoing and will be implemented in other sections as well.
