Through such projects, we ensure that our network is ready to support both current consumer requirements and the economic and residential development of the areas in which we operate. Timi\u0219oara is a city in full development, and the modernization of the Azur transformer substation will directly contribute to increasing the safety and reliability of the electricity supply for thousands of inhabitants and economic agents in the area.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mihai Pe\u0219te, General Director of Re\u021bele Electrice Rom\u00e2nia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The substation has a capacity of 50 Mega Volt Amperes (MVA) provided by two power transformers of 25 MVA each. The modernization works aimed at switching from 10 kV to 20 kV on the medium voltage side, which allows an increase in customer consumption and a better quality of the distribution service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main activities included the construction of a new 20 kV busbar section, equipped with primary and secondary equipment, 8 20 kV medium voltage cells, protections and control circuits. A new transformer with an installed power of 25 MVA was also installed to power the 20 kV busbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In parallel, the 110 kV primary equipment was completely replaced with modern hybrid equipment, including 2 110 kV line cells, 2 110 kV\/MV transformer cells and a 110 kV busbar system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The modernization included the partial restoration of the substation building, the complete restoration of the roads, as well as the security systems, so as to ensure the continuity of the integration of this building into the urban landscape of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company <strong>Re\u021bele Electrice Rom\u00e2nia<\/strong> operates networks with a total length of about 136.000 kilometers in three major areas of the country: Muntenia Sud (including Bucharest), Banat and Dobrogea, covering one third of the local distribution market, and develops an investment program to improve the quality of services, safety and performance of the networks and local implementation of the environmental standards of the PPC group.
