Project details

This project involves the modernization and maintenance of high-voltage equipment at LYDEC source substations. It includes specific technical actions carried out at various sites, to guarantee operational reliability, service continuity and compliance with current standards.

  • Layout of power transformers in the lydec source substation
  • Layout of power transformers in the lydec source substation
  • Renewal of protective relays on HV switchboards at Dar Bouazza, Ain Harrouda and ADE source substations
  • Overhaul of 72KV and 225KV circuit breakers in lydec source substations

Challenges

  • Obsolete protection relays, calibration difficulties and incompatibility with current standards.

  • Thermally stressed transformers, need for oil treatment to prevent insulation losses.

  • Restricted access to equipment, longer response times and multi-site logistics management.

Solutions

  • Moderate protection relays, readjustment for optimum compliance.

  • Transformer oil treatment, vacuum dehydration to prevent loss of insulation.

  • Verification of HV equipment, analysis and preventive replacement of critical components.
