Substation Turnkey packages:

Importance of quality power infrastructure can never be over emphasized for enabling the growth story of any economy. KEC International, as part of the infrastructure team of the RPG group, is an incessant missionary towards this cause. Our Substation turnkey packages group is especially oriented to offer our customers a world class substation in terms of innovative cost effective design and energy efficient operation. KEC, understands well the growing demand of the Power in Local and Global market and hence, ensures energy efficiency as one of the highest priority in its offering.
We can adjust our proposal as a green field or brown field turnkey EPC package, complete system integration or contractor work for mega infrastructure development jobs to suit the customers need.

A typical substation contract has several aspects to consider other than the electrical parameters. Environmental and geographical parameters like pollution level, distance from coastal line, altitude from mean sea level along with seismic and isokeraunic level of the location are a few to name. The detailed technical specification of overall substation engineering as well as the products to be used in the substation differs for one set of such parameters to other.
Another extremely important parameter for the substation engineering is the reliability consideration. Reliable as well as optimum solution for any substation needs to consider the type of application, type of network configuration including the associated line lengths, transformation capacity along with availability of space are amongst the several parameters which plays the key role in shaping up the solution.

Substation Automation is another area worth mentioning for the reliable, efficient and safe operation of the substation and associated equipment. The distributed and / or centralized control and monitoring of the system, use of state of the art technologies using numerical or electromechanical devices through optical or regular cable communication network, use of customized protection system for different equipments, feeder and overall grid network calls for extremely complicated and highly skilled engineering knowledge and experience.

KEC’s offering in terms of Turnkey Substation Package includes:

• Concept to commissioning of upto 765kV AIS or GIS Substation project
  on turnkey basis.
