For a country like Bahrain, stable power is essential to match with the likes of neighboring countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE. The Gulf region rarely sees any power shutdown or major issues with the transformers.
That could be due to the intense package substation manufacturing plants inside the country. Besides, other alternative power sources are also present in the country for usage.
Unlike other Asian countries that depend on sources like coal and similar natural sources, Bahrain relies on oil, which is available in plenty. So, these factors are essential for ensuring constant power in the country.
It also ensures a good image of the country in this aspect. Even developed countries struggle when there is a natural calamity.
What is a package substation?
A package substation in Bahrain contains the cast resin transformer. It is directly connected to a high-voltage network on the primary side and connected to the LV main switchboard. This gets done from the secondary low-voltage side.
Since we know what a package substation is, we will determine whether the package substation and the unit substation are similar. A package substation and a unit substation are not the same. They come with a massive difference from each other.
The package substation contains the HV compartment of the RMU that gets equipped with the RMU. It gets equipped with an earth fault indicator. There is also a step-down transformer and LV compartment with a distribution panel.
The unit substation comes with the RMU in them. Every region has their kinds of substations. There are usually four types of substations. You will be delighted to know some substations have a combination of two or more types.
● Step-up transmission substation.
● Step-down transmission substation.
● Distribution substation.
● Underground distribution substation.
● Substation functions.
● Substation equipment.
So, what is the substation called the substation? According to market research, they gave it the name before the electrical system entered the grid. They were smaller than the larger station plants, providing power for small to medium establishments.
The energy was obtained from the larger plants, hence the name substation. Likewise, there is the HVAC substation. This is an offshore high-voltage station that provides energy throughout the country.
Here the energy is primarily obtained from the wind turbines. It is then gathered and then converted to help in decreasing energy loss. This is done for easy transport to the onshore site. From the offshore substation, the power is transferred through submarine cables to the onshore area.
What materials are used in the foundation for the package substation? The materials used in the package substation’s foundation are prefabricated steel-reinforced concrete foundations.
They are ideal for accommodating 300, 500, 1000 and 1500 KVA package substations. The capacity of the substation can serve around 1500 customers. However, the substation reaches approximately 80% of the capacity; the PUD starts considering the requirement for a new substation.
The main idea of the package substation is to transfer power from the DNO (distribution network operator) to the LV distribution system. The input for a package substation forms one high-voltage feed of 11 kV.
So, when you require transformers in Bahrain, please let UNEECO to know your requirements. We will send our team to analyze and then start the project.
The heat and need for water are one of the main obvious reasons but let’s get deeper. Let’s drive on memory lane in the news regarding Leak Detection System in Bahrain. Water damage is a serious concern for computer data centers, and proactive measures are essential to mitigate risks. Learn how BCSC’s advanced water leak detection systems can provide early detection and swift response to water leaks, helping to safeguard your data center’s critical infrastructure and prevent costly disruptions.
Cases of water leak in Bahrain
1) At Bahrain International Airport, a live leak in a 100mm UPVC pipe step joint was repaired while the system was still working. At Bahrain International Airport, a 100mm UPVC pipe that was a crucial component of a system started leaking from a step joint. Since shutting down the line was not an option, a rapid and simple live leak repair procedure was needed.
2) Hackers Have Taken Control of the System, Endangering the Electricity and Water Authorities. However, there are other security concerns that managers of vital infrastructure should be aware of. The government systems and vital infrastructure in Bahrain were the targets of some cyber-attacks in August 2019, according to Bahraini authorities.
As a result, the biggest aluminum smelter in the world, was the target of a significant cyber-attack in July 2019, according to a Wall Street Journal report from August 8, 2019. The Electricity and Water Authority has also been the target of several intrusions, according to Bahraini authorities, with some systems being compromised and others being partially controlled by hackers.
What is a leak detector?
A leak detector monitors liquids so that they don’t leave the system in which they are put. Leak detection systems are used in data centers to detect water leaks that could potentially damage critical IT infrastructure, such as servers, switches, and cabling, helping to prevent costly downtime and data loss.
Why leak detection is necessary?
• Save water save a life for sustainable development
• It is perfect for mission-critical locations like data centers, trading floors, and semiconductor manufacturing facilities
