MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May Scope of the project Local conditions Makola application Load Reliability aspects SUMMARY
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May Scope of the project The problemThe solution
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May Typical low load user (Makola)
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May One 500 people village: Estimated load (UNESCO) Typical low load user (Makola) Conclusion: 50 kVA is OK !
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May Local conditions
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May Local conditions 846 km from the main power supply Very low short-circuit level: 360 A Very low load: –Frequent over-voltages –Important power availability 50 kVA = SIL (Surge impedance loading) Very high keraunic level (lightning activity)
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May Local conditions High soil resistivity: > 3000 .m –HV earth resistance: 35 –Risks for the inhabitants in case of line-to-earth fault in case of lightning on the HV line –Needs deep analysis of earthing system
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May Schematic diagram Makola application
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May SF6 VT technology: high reliability Limited maintenance Limited weight: easy to transport/handle Limited cost (no switch bay) Direct from 245 kV to 230 V (50 kVA) Makola application
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May Makola application
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May Makola application
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May Makola application
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May Load recording
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May Load recording
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May Reliability aspects Improved technology (SF6 VT) with very limited maintenance Immediate protection by ZnO surge arrester One year experiment: the reliability of the equipment is much higher than the HV system (min 5 power outages per month) Possible improvement by use of HV fuses
MONFILS Pierre-André (BE) Session 5 - Block 1 - Question 5.14 Barcelona May Improvement of the quality of life of rural populations (< 3% of peoples access electrical power in Congo) Electrical energy gives access to drinking water, food preservation, lighting. Electrical energy may help starting development of local activities Our solution is cost effective, easy to handle and reliable Conclusions
