Modern automation system for substation “Rodnikovskaya”
Back

As part of investment programme Labinsky branch of Kubanenergo PJSC (Rosseti Group) is upgrading relay protection and automation devices of a large substation in Kurganinsky district: 110kV “Rodnikovskaya” substation. Power engineers will install modern digital protection relay and automation for 110kV outgoing power line. The Company will invest 27 million rubles in this project.

Our specialists are equipping grid facility with today's smart devices that will protect 110kV overhead power lines from short circuit. This is the first time the branch applies such modern equipment

Among the distinct advantages of microprocessor devices, we can emphasise their close-together arrangement. Apart from their primary task, elimination of emergencies, the new devices offer a range of additional functions, namely: detection of emergency situations as well as indication of the place of the damage on power line; distant backup protection and higher reliability in comparison to electromechanical equipment. Installation of the new equipment is planned for the 4th quarter of this year.

Andrei Gerasko, head of Labinsky branch of Kubanenergo PJSC, said: “Substation “Rodnikovskaya” feeds several substations of lower voltage which keep lights on for some villages, part of Kurganinsk and Koshekhablsky district of Adygea. Its social significance is huge that is why it is of the utmost importance for this substation to stay up-to-date with evolving technology and meet technical requirements.”
