Bryanskenergo has completed the Repair Program of seven months

The Repair Program of seven months has been completed at IDGC of Centre — Bryanskenergo division for 104 per cent. For seven months in the preparation for the winter period 6 substations of 35-110 kV, 344 transformer substations of 6-10/0,4 kV, 413 km of power lines of 35-110 kV and 1097 km of 0.4-10 kV were repaired. More than 503 hectares of ROW under the power lines of all voltage levels were cleared, which is 14% higher than the established amount by the program. Among the renovated facilities there are 110 kV substations “Aleshinskaya,” “Karachevskaya”, “South”, “Red Horn”, “South”, “Starodub”. These substations are of great economic importance as they are supply centers of large areas of the region and the regional center, and consequently all the engineering and social infrastructure in these areas. The amount of the repair program in 2011 has increased from 94 to 102 million rubles. While performing repairs new materials and pieces of equipment are used that meet the requirements of the technical policy of the company.

The main difference between the repair program this year is the principle of its creation. If in the past years the basis for creating was the long-term schedules of repair, then the repair program for 2011 was made based on evaluation of equipment condition. The program includes electrical, with a low index state.

In Bryanskenergo for several years in preparing equipment for winter emphasis is made on complex repairs, which include works in the light of technological connections with other electrical installations. When carrying out repairs a whole range of works is performed. As a result, the reliability of electricity supply under the influence of contrary weather conditions typical for autumn-winter periods increases.

Deputy Director for Technical Issues — Chief Engineer of Bryanskenergo, Alexander Kosarev, notes the efficiency of complex repairs, which for several years in the company has been the main way of preparing equipment for the autumn-winter period. Thanks to more efficient use of labor and reduction of transportation costs significant savings are achieved when performing them.
