IDGC of Centre will present at the exhibition booth of the Tver region at the XVI International Investment Forum, which kicked off today in Sochi, an innovative project of a digital substation and "smart distribution grid" on the basis of the 35/10 kV Substation Turginovo, which is planned to be implemented in the electric grid complex of the Tver region.
While reconstructing the 35/10 kV Substation Turginovo, owned by IDGC of Centre – Tverenergo division, it is planned to create self-healing distribution grid with a digital substation, which is a single technological set, based on software and hardware protection solutions, automation and control of both equipment of the substation itself and 10 kV outgoing lines from the substation, created on the basis of the IEC 61850 standard.
It is expected that after the implementation of cutting-edge technical solutions the reliability of power supply of existing customers will improve, and duration of fault location and elimination will decrease.
As a result of the reconstruction project of the substation and the adjacent distribution grid the comprehensive innovative solution implementation will be tested in practice with the assessment of the effectiveness of the implementation and the possibility of subsequent replication at other facilities of the service area of IDGC of Centre.
