GE Vernova obtained a transnetbw contract to reorganize the Kühmoos Grille node in southern Germany, a pivotal substation of the exchange of cross-border electricity and the stability of the regional network.
The project will strengthen frequency regulation, stability of tension and power transfer between Germany, France and Switzerland.
Located near the Swiss border, the Kühmoos sub-station is an essential transmission center which links two hydroelectric storage power storage power storage.
This modernization is part of Germany’s broader initiative to strengthen its electrical infrastructure.
By improving Kühmoos, there will be an increase in the capacity and reliability necessary to integrate renewable energy sources and manage an increase in power flow through European interconnected networks.
Transnetbw CFO Rainer PFLAUM said: “In the Kühmoos sub-station of Transnetbw, we strengthen a vital energy center for Germany and our neighboring countries, France and Switzerland. The collaboration with Ge Vernova takes charge of our ambition to develop and our transmission network to the test of the future to continue to revive and extend safely.
“This modernization is therefore an important step in the transformation of our network, guaranteeing the supply of electricity in the southwest of Baden-Würtemberg.”
The Division of Ge Vernova Grille Solutions is responsible for delivering a new gasoline gas (GIS) of 380KV on a turnkey base.
This GIS will replace the older isolated administration technology, which should double the current capacity while occupying less space, all without interrupting the operations in progress during construction.
The upgrade includes the installation of 15 compact GIS technology bays as well as a main bar bar system for more efficient energy distribution.
This project incorporates a mechanical capacitor switched to the damping network (MSCDN), which helps regulate voltage and minimizes higher volume losses of electric crossing through the network.
The vice-president of Ge Vernova Grid Systems, the vice-president and CEO, Johan Bindele, said: “This is a historic project for the region and a moment of pride for Ge Vernova.
“The modernization of critical grid nodes like Kühmoos is essential to support the long-term reliability of the Europe’s electrical system, especially since the countries expand their use of renewable energies and seek greater interconnection beyond borders. Europe is our largest electrification market, and we are deeply committed to supporting its energy transition. We are honored to support TransNETBW in the construction grid infrastructure which is both future and resilient. ”
