The Champa substation is part of Powergrid’s plan to build a stronger national grid in India and will be a pooling station receiving power at 765 and 400kV.
ABB will be responsible for the design, engineering, supply, installation and commissioning of the 765kV and 400kV switch yards, including the civil works.
Key products to be supplied include circuit breakers, current transformers, capacitive voltage transformers, surge arrestors and protection, control and relay panels.
In addition, ABB will also supply an IEC 61850, open standards based substation automation system to facilitate communication between the numerous devices within the substation and beyond.
ABB head of Power Systems Peter Leupp said the company is already executing several 765kV substation projects for Powergrid and this success reiterates our partnership approach and long-term customer focus.
"ABB continues to contribute to the development of India’s ultrahigh voltage network" added Leupp.
Powergrid, the central transmission utility in India has the authorization for planning, co-ordination, supervision and control over complete inter-state transmission system in the country.
