On November 29, 2022, WAPP (West Africa Power Pool) Project, Senegal Matam Station ± 30MVar SVC, was successfully put into operation. This project is a turnkey project of EPC general contracting under the responsibility of NR. It is also the first SVC system of the Senegal power grid.
As the EPC contractor of the station, NR includes all design, procurement, civil engineering, installation and commissioning of the SVC system. NR provides a complete set of substation equipment including transformer, 225 kV circuit breaker and disconnector, TCR reactor, valve, water cooling, protection & control, and other overall solutions.
Smooth operation of the SVC station
Smooth operation of the SVC station effectively guarantees the stability of the power grid
The 225kV Matam substation is located in the northeast of Senegal, which is the key node of the power interconnection project between Senegal and Mali. It is the key planning station of the backbone transmission network of the WAPP.
The smooth operation of the SVC station effectively guarantees the stability of the power grid in the region, improves the power supply among countries, and provides a reliable guarantee for the power interconnection among the countries of the Western Community. After the SVC of Matam Station is put into operation, it operates stably.
Automatic regulation of reactive power
The automatic regulation of reactive power output ensures the voltage stability of 225kV bus, which solves the voltage fluctuation problem that has puzzled users for a long time.
NR always takes a pragmatic attitude to solve the difficulties of customers, and the on-site project team has implemented efficiently, which has been highly recognized, and has also laid a solid foundation for continued cooperation with WAPP in the future.
