General information

Description of the project

The transformer substation is existing, separately located and consists of separate premises: RU-10 kV, RU-0.4 kV, transformer premises T1 and T2. Ventilation of the transformer premises with natural air movement through louvered grilles. Facility address: Bucha, 9-P Instytutska St. The facility is in the communal property of the Bucha City Council. The transformer substation was damaged as a result of Russian armed aggression approximately on 01.03.2022 and was destroyed and requires reconstruction measures. 

The purpose of the project

Main goal:

Rebuilding the damaged/destroyed

Secondary goal:

Increasing compliance with modern standards

Description of the purpose of the project and ways to achieve it

Improving the technical level and reliability of the community's electrical network by updating primary electrical connections and implementing modern technical solutions that will ensure stable and uninterrupted power supply. Currently, the primary electrical connections of the transformer substation have a high degree of wear, which leads to frequent failures, power losses and reduced reliability of power supply. Outdated equipment does not meet modern requirements for energy efficiency, safety and automation. The implementation of the project will eliminate these shortcomings, bringing the technical condition of the substation to a modern level, which will ensure the continuity of electricity supply, reduce losses and improve the quality of power supply for the population and enterprises of the community.

Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation

High degree of wear and tear of transformer substation equipment. Low reliability and stability of power supply. Lack of modern automation and monitoring systems. Insufficient network capacity when load increases. Increased electricity losses and frequent emergency shutdowns.

Demand for the service and its dynamics

What methodology was used to estimate demand?

Оцінка попиту здійснювалась на основі комплексного аналізу фактичного споживання електроенергії за останні роки, прогнозу розвитку Бучанської громади та демографічних тенденцій, включно зі зростанням кількості внутрішньо переміщених осіб. Методологія поєднувала статистичний аналіз, нормативні розрахунки питомого навантаження та сценарне прогнозування з урахуванням активного житлового будівництва, розвитку соціальної, комунальної й промислової інфраструктури. Додатковим чинником стала необхідність підвищення стійкості енергомереж до постійних обстрілів енергосистеми, що призводять до збоїв і пошкоджень обладнання. Результати аналізу показали зростання попиту на електроенергію та критичну потребу у модернізації підстанції для забезпечення стабільного, безпечного й безперебійного електропостачання в умовах воєнних ризиків і динамічного розвитку громади.
