12 May 2010

CJSC Intertechelectro is continuing reconstruction and technical upgrade of the 220 kV Rayonnaya substation (town of Vladimir). The recovery is performed under the OJSC FSK UES investment program and allows considerably increasing the Vladimir power supply reliability.

Grading is being completed on the site, the 220 kV existing power line offset has been made, the 110 kV existing power line offset is prepared, foundations and main building steel structures for SF6 220 and 110 kV complete switchgears and 10 kV open switchgear have been made. Foundation pit was excavated, 6 kV open switchgear building foundation is being arranged, autotransformer installation into the 220 kV complete switchgear building is prepared, in-site access ways are built.

The 220 kV Rayonnaya will be the 1st close facility of the Vladimir power system. Its advantages as compared to traditional open substations are compactness, environmental and fire safety, noiselessness and equipment protection from external influence. The reconstruction involves installation of new 220/110 kV autotransformers and 220 and 110 kV complete switchgears. The substation will be equipped with up-to-date relay protection and automatic equipment MPUs, DCS, a set of modern communication systems and video surveillance system. After the recovery the substation output will be 460 MVA.

The 220 kV Rayonnaya substation having installed capacity of 346,5 MVA was put in operation in 1963 and is serviced by MES of Center, branch of OJSC FSK UES. The plant is one of the main power supply sources for the town of Vladimir consumers including such large factories as OSJC Vladimir electric motor plant and OJSC Vladimir tractor plant.
