substation with a capacity of 3200 kVA and the Digital Control
Center are designed to ensure stable, reliable and uninterrupted
power supply to new residential complexes, agricultural and tourist
facilities, as well as various socio-economic infrastructure
facilities built in the Khojaly district.
Chief engineer of the Karabakh regional department of energy
supply and sales Mubariz Zarbaliyev told the regional correspondent
of Trend that to
supply electricity to the substation, power lines were laid from
the Khankendi-1 and Askeran substations. This substation will be
connected to the Agdam-2 substation through a 35 kV power line
under construction, thereby creating a ring power supply scheme
between the cities of Agdam-Askeran-Khojaly-Khankendi.
Thanks to the Digital Control Center, all information about the
current state of networks is collected and processed centrally,
equipment is controlled remotely, and real-time monitoring is
carried out using digital systems. For this purpose, the substation
is equipped with digital technologies and new generation control
and measuring devices. This Center not only maintains reliable
operation of the network, but also creates conditions for reducing
losses and overall operating costs during electricity transmission.
The center has created the ability to provide advance information
in real time about power outages to consumers supplied by the
substation.
The risk of power supply interruptions is minimised as the
process of integrating renewable energy sources into the power grid
is centrally controlled by the Digital Control Centre. The center
fully ensures the operation of the substation in a multifunctional
mode, as well as the coordination of the operation of devices and
equipment with each other depending on the volumes of received and
transmitted electricity.
The Digital Control Centre also has 52 kW solar panels, the
energy generated is transmitted to the grid, and fast charging
devices for electric vehicles are installed on its territory.
