Mobile modular substations of 20/10(6) kV are a transformer substation, consisting of two and more modules, the composition of which includes separate mobile platforms, ensuring its mobility.
MMS are used to handle the following tasks:
- use as a main step-down or step-up distribution substation, including for electrical power consumers located in places where the construction of stationary substations is not cost-effective;
- back-up of the primary equipment of the stationary substation in case of emergency power cutoffs;
- intermittent connection to the power grid of objects under construction in case of absence of electric power supply during the construction period;
- intermittent connection of consumers to the electrical power grid for the period of reconstruction of the existing stationary substation;
- load shedding of electrical power grids during peak busy hours.
MMS distinguishing features
- MMS is a product of maximum operational readiness.
- Ability to install various types and composition of equipment in accordance with the Customer’s requirements.
- Possibility of increasing connections on a modular basis.
- Convenience of assembling and operation.
- Mobility and ease of car transportation by due to placing equipment on travelling platforms.
- Reducing the duration of commissioning works by reducing the scope of work required to install equipment at the facility.
- Reducing the size of the land parcel and the construction works scope on the site arrangement for the substation installation by reducing the substation dimensions in a mobile modular version.
- Ability of connection to cable as well as to overhead power lines.
MMS operation conditions
