The work included the replacement of both 132/33kV transformers and 33kV switchboard. The design work included all interface engineering work to enable the new protection / control systems to be successfully integrated into the existing site, which are configured as a four switch 132kV mesh. This included maintaining the functionality of the delayed auto reclose systems as the work was completed to a phased programme.
A separate contract was awarded to Freedom to undertake the installation of the protection/control panels and associated equipment, multicore cabling, earthing systems, 132kV busbar systems, overall site commissioning and the removal of redundant plant including the two transformers.
All work is now complete with all 33kV circuits, the two grid transformers and the scheme completed to programme during summer 2006.
