Rosseti FGC UES accomplishes creation of power delivery scheme for Adygea windfarm

06/02/2020
Rosseti FGC UES has technologically connected Adygea, the largest windfarm in the south, to the Unified National Power grid. Armavir 330 kV and Tsentralnaya 500 kV substations have been revamped and 16.5 km of transmission lines have been built. The total cost of work amounted to 650.7 mn rubles. The new 150 MW windfarm will cover 20% of the electricity demand of the Republic of Adygea and raise the reliability of power delivery to consumers in the Krasnodar Territory.

Another party to the project was Kuban Trunk Grids JSC, a subsidiary of Rosseti FGC UES. Approach lines have been built from the said company's Armavir - Tsentralnaya 330 kV OHTL to the windfarm's Vetropark 220 kV substation.

State-of-the-art microprocessor-based relay protection and control (RPC) cabinets have been mounted at the Armavir 330 kV and Tsentralnaya 500 kV substations. The equipment was made in Russia. It is more compact than electromechanical analogs and has a long service life: at least 20 years. Microprocessor-based RPC devices respond to the slightest deviations in the monitored load center, which allows minimizing the system fault risks.

In addition, at the Armavir 330 kV substation, overcurrent limiting automata have been installed to reduce the probability of process violations on transmission lines and substation equipment.

The Adygea windfarm has been built by NovaWind JSC, division of Rosatom State Corporation in charge of wind energy projects. The power station is located at the border of the Shovgenovsky and Giaginsky districts of the Republic of Adygea. The windfarm operates 60 wind power plants 2.5 MW each. The planned electricity output is 354 mn kWh per year.
