VÄSTERÅS, March 3, 2021
/PRNewswire/ -- The turnkey upgrade for the Storfinnforsen 400/130
kV electrical substation has now been fully commissioned. This
extension of the existing substation will help the customer - E.ON
Energy Networks - and the grid owner - Svenska kraftnät - to better
connect several surrounding wind power generating parks to the
electricity transmission grid.
The site is co-located with the Storfinnforsen power station in
northern Sweden. The site works,
which largely took place over the wintertime, were carefully
planned to ensure the customer's wish to limit planned outages and
minimise disturbances for their end consumers was met. These
challenges were handled expertly through great collaboration
between Linxon,E.ON and Svenska kraftnät.
Linxon's scope of supply consists of the installation of one new
double breaker 400 kV transformer feeder, three new double breaker
130 kV feeders for the power transformer, a line bay and a
capacitor bank to stabilize the grid. The project also includes
provision of control and protection systems as well as civil and
installation work.
"This was the first contract we won in Sweden since becoming Linxon. We are proud to
have demonstrated, in terms of real results, how our unique company
combines the technological know-how of Hitachi ABB Power Grids and
the project delivery skills of SNC-Lavalin. This is how we generate
enhanced value to our clients", said Frédéric Tréfois, CEO of
Linxon.
"Storfinnforsen is also the first station Linxon commissions in
Sweden. I am very glad to see how
effective our team has been and to have delivered this project
ahead of time whilst meeting all expectations", said Ingela
Hålling, General Manager of Linxon Sweden.
Linxon commenced operations in September
2018, undertaking turnkey electrical alternating current
substation projects related to renewable and conventional power
generation, power transmission and transportation solutions.
Substations enable the efficient and reliable transmission and
distribution of electricity. Within the substation, switchgear
controls and protects the network from power outages and
facilitates reliable electricity supply.
