Abstract:
Bashkirenergo and Siemens PTI recently completed a comprehensive study on suitable modernization and renovation steps of the Ufa electricity network, Bashkortostan republic in Russia. In this joint project, an optimal set of innovative concepts and technologies was developed and further used to create a technically and economically feasible masterplan, which addresses the following main targets: modernization and enhancement of the grid structure, reduction of losses, improvement of security of supply and reduced operation expenditures. Four different scenarios regarding network structure and automation concept were developed and assessed in order to identify the most efficient solutions. Finally, the selected measures were prioritized and compiled into a transition plan starting from today up to the year 2020.
