Construction of the Second Power Line of 500 KV of North-South Transit of Kazakhstan

Realization period

2005 - 2008

Project’s geography

Almatinskaya area, Zhambylskaya area, Pavlodarskaya area.

Client

“KEGOC” JSC

General description of the project

Importance of the project was to provide enough energy for south parts of Kazakhstan to retrieve it from “powerdefficiency” status by increasing power transmission capacity to 7-7,5 bln Kvt-h a year from North to South part of the country. Besides, project’s significance extends on ensuring reliability and safety of Kazakhstan national power line as well as making power association relation with Russian Federation and nearby countries of central Asia effective.  Project realization was carried out in accordance with Development Program of RoK power industry till 2030

17th of September, 2008, the second transit North-South of Kazakhstan  was launched with the participation of RoK President Nursultan Nazarbayev on “Ekibastuzskaya” SS-1150kV.

Description of “Promstroy-Energo” scope of works

During the project realization “Promstroy-Energo” completed expansion of 1st turn “UKGRES” SS-500kV in 2006.

Performed works included:

  • Installation of GL317 500kV SF6 circuit breaker in a P-3 shunt reactor chain
  • Installation of a 500kV three tire support bus type foundations-500 kВ)
  • Laying of control power cables, laying of cable trays
  • Installation of Ф6-4 foundations for a linear portal
  • Etc

Two years later in 2008 “turnkey” construction of 1st and 2nd turns of “Shu” SS-500kV was completed in Zhambylskaya area, Kazakhstan

The scope of work included:

  • Construction of a substation with installation of a 500kV shunting uncontrollable reactor and 500/200kV autotransformer
  • Installation of 8 cells of 500kV
  • Installation of 3 cells of 220kV

Equipment used: “AREVA” company’s 200kV and 500kV SF6 circuit breakers, “AREVA” company’s 200kV and 500kV triple-pole disconnectors (switches), “ABB” company’s current and voltage transformers, 500kV excess voltage suppressors. Here for the first time in CIS monolithic fire-fighting partitions of power equipment were installed.

A year later in 2009 “Promstroy-Energo” completed expansion of “Ekibastuzskaya” SS-1150kV project in Pavlodarskaya area, also reconstruction works on relay protection means and automation were also carried out on this substation. 

SS expansion works included:

  • Installation of 1150kV open switch gear – reinstallation of “Barnaul” OHTL-500kV
  • Overhang of OHTL-500kV and open switch gear–500kV
  • Installation of 500kV busbar
  • Installation of a fire extinguisher system and reactor oil drains
  • Installation of light poles and bioprotection system
  • Site improvement works

Relay protection and automation equipment reconstruction works included:

  • Supply of equipment and cable and wiring products for relay protection and automation equipment
  • Installation of direct-current switchboard cubicles
  • Laying of power and  fibre optic cables, installation of cable ways
  • Installation of automatic system’s panels for power commercial record and nstallation of SCADA measuring devices
