Hotline of power engineering specialists:
This year the scope of repairs of IDGC of Centre - Lipetskenergo division will be 159.3 million rubles. This is 3.8 million more than last year.
In 2015 Lipetsk power engineers plan to renovate 133 transformer substations of 0.4-10 kV, about 1.2 thousand km of overhead and cable lines of 0.4-110 kV and replace 367 insulators at feeding centres, and more than 8 thousand insulators on power lines.
To reduce the risk of technological failures caused by falling trees onto power lines, the power engineers will clear 619.3 hectares of ROWs along power lines of 0.4 - 110 kV from bushes and trees.
To improve the performance of the distribution power equipment and increase the reliability of power supply complex repair of 8 substations of 35 kV will be made - the Substations "Borino", "Golikovo", "Water intake", "Knyazhaya Baygora" and others.
Among the significant facilities of the repair campaign one should note the repair of the 110 kV transformer substation "Hydro-equipment", providing power to most of Griazinsky district. Repair of power equipment in the current year will be also performed at several substations of 110 kV: at the SS "GPP-2" feeding Traktorozovodskoy district of Lipetsk; the SS "Dolgorukovo", supplying power to the district centre with the same name; as well as in Usman district at the SS "Nikolskoye" and "Aksai".
A major project of the branch will also be the repairing of the 110 kV overhead line "Ring-Left-Right", which supplies power to the central part of the city of Lipetsk with a lot of socially important facilities.
"Repairs are performed by the branch under the approved annual schedules, which we form with equipment condition indices," commented First Deputy Director - Chief Engineer of Lipetskenergo Alexander Kornilov.
