Description
2009 was for EN/EL a new departure; group was repowered, 15 more people join the group and a consolidation budget of 40 MCHF was allocated to update the distribution network. EL is now able to deal with more than the day to day business; EL is focused on training new people and is working on the design of the 2015/2020 distribution network.
In 2009, selectivity has been improved in several locations, link between BE and BE9 substations has been doubled in order to increase redundancy. 10kM of power cables has been purchased for SPS consolidation and Fiber optic network has been consolidated.
In 2010, consolidation of SPS network will be continued by implementing new substations in BA4 and BA5 and by replacing power cables between BA5 and BA6. Moreover protection relays will be replaced in some key points (66kV, …) and a study to extend the safety network (Diesel) to every point of SPS and North Area will be run.
