The Challenge
Upgrade remote substation with zero outages
The local utility commission mandated that the utility company take ownership of a neglected substation in a remote location. Significant upgrades were required in a 3 week period while still keeping customers powered. Work would need to be carried out at an extremely remote location across a 200km ice road, in -40°C temperatures.
The System had to be designed to operate continuously with the 25kV line infrastructure and have the necessary field experience to install, operate and maintain the equipment. Expertise was essential to meet protection and control requirements, manage fuel logistics, and provide remote monitoring.
