Alstom has handed over upgraded complex air-insulated substations to
Armenia's state-owned company CJSC High Voltage Electrical Networks
(CJSC HVEN) and the Ministry of Energy & Natural Resources in Gyumri,
northwest of Armenia.
The company secured a complete rehabilitation turnkey project in
2011, covering the engineering, design, production and delivery,
construction, assembly and commissioning of the three modules of 220
kV, 110 kV and 10 kV open-air substations furnished in the 1970s.
Apart from interconnecting Armenia's existing 220 kV stations, the
220kV facility also through another substation is directly connected to
the 400MW nuclear power plant in Metsamor, which covers approximately
40% of the country's energy demand.
Alstom Grid Dresden project manager Artur Chamyan said, "The project
execution lasted 28 months, with tight scheduling given the prevailing
weather conditions in winter - the city of Gyumri is at an altitude
of 1,600 metres above sea level."
The new 220kV facility establishes a connection to the neighbouring
countries for the exchange of electrical energy, while the 110kV
substation supplies energy to the Schirak province, and the 10kV
facility is furthermore of significance for the energy supply Gyumri
and the surrounding towns and villages.
Funded by KFW, the EURO 12m project aims to improve national grid
stability, as well as the economic and secure supply of power, and
was managed by Alstom Grid in Dresden, Germany.
