HVDC Primary Engineering:

Scope:

• 400kV A.C/+- 525kV D.C

Client: BORNHOLM ENERGY (U.K)

Work:

• Preparing A.C Switch Yard(3D Model)
• Converter Transformer Area Plan
• MP1 data Update in 3D Modelling

Scope:

• 138/12.47kV- National Modular Substation .
• 33/12.47kV-Commissary Modular Substation .

Client: First Energy(U.S)
Work:

• The 138/12.47kV- National Substation expansion project, a key infrastructure development, involves several significant updates to the existing National Substation site.The expansion will include the installation of new equipments such as one 138/13.2kV Transformer, one 145kV SF6 Circuit Breaker and one 145kV V-Type Three Pole Group Operated Disconnect Switch , 12.47kV Switchgear Cubicle. Additionally, 138kV transmission line conductor and 12.47kV rigid bus will be constructed. Steel H frame structure will support the 138kV transmission line.
• 33/12.47kV-Commissary Substation Bay expansion project, a key infrastructure development, involves several significant updates to the existing National Substation site.The expansion will include the installation of new equipments such as one 33/12.47kV Transformer, one 33 kV SF6 Circuit Breaker and one 33kV V-Type Three Pole Group Operated Disconnect Switch , 12.47kV Switchgear Cubicle. Additionally, 33Kv transmission line conductor and 12.47kV rigid bus will be constructed. Steel H frame structure will support the 33kV transmission line

Sourav, as the project design engineer , was instrumental in overseeing the design and planning phases of this project. He ensured that new installations were seamlessly integrated in to the existing infrastructure.
