The new substation will benefit more than 5,300 customers and is located in an area in full development.
The primary station is one of the best performing in the Romanian energy distribution system. Another RON27 million will be invested in the medium voltage grids connected to the substation, the total value of the project amounting to over RON50 million.
The new primary substation has a total capacity of 50 MVA (Mega Volt Amper), provided by two 110/20 kV transformers, and will supply, after the full completion of the medium voltage grids, the household and industrial consumers in the area located in the north of Timisoara, such as Traian Vuia International Airport, shopping centers, production halls, logistics centers etc.
The primary substation is supplied from the nearby high voltage power line (110 kV), the connection being made through an underground electrical line, and is introduced in the Telecontrol system of the E-Distributie companies, which allows the operation and performance of maneuvers remotely, from the dispatcher, reducing the intervention times and improving the quality of services.
The primary substation is equipped with new transformers, with low losses, according to European standards, 22 cells with state-of-the-art protections, with the possibility of extension for another 12 cells to which both producers and consumers can connect. Some of the 110 kV equipment is produced in Romania, and the new facilities are compact, with increased efficiency, low own consumption, and minimal risks for the environment.
In order to ensure a high level of energy efficiency of the primary substation, the building has been thermally insulated, for the lighting were used LED fixtures, and on the protection and safety field, photovoltaic panels will be able to be installed to reduce its own technological consumption and CO2 emissions.
