ACWA 1,500 MW Syrdarya CCGT Project – 500/220 kV AIS Power System Studies and Comprehensive Engineering Design Review
ACWA is developing a 1,500 MW CCGT project through bilateral agreement with the GoU and signed a 25-year PPA in March 2020 on a BOOT basis. ACWA awarded EPC contract to CGGC, where IDOM is responsible for whole engineering scope. As per the agreement with the GoU, ACWA has to build and transfer 500/220 kV AIS designed for evacuation 3,000 MW power to the transmission grid, 12 bays on 500 kV side and 18 bays on 220kV side including 2 sets of 3xsingle phase inter bus autotransformers with capacity of around 501 MVA each group. The AIS is planned to be one of the first digital substations implemented in NEGU (Off-taker).
- CGGC directly contracted Juru for AIS related additional power system studies to ensure safe operation of the grid and HV substation equipment during light loading conditions, dynamic and transient processes. Study shall reveal requirements for shunt and current limiting reactors and their impact on circuit breakers and the grid that will be then integrated into the design concept. Study will also provide list of required emergency control automation equipment (ECA) that shall be installed at CCGT AIS along with remote-end substations.
- Juru contracted by CGGC/IDOM to support Basic and Detailed Design development, engineering review, validation with respect to local codes, standards, norms and regulations. Juru also supporting the client with the coordination with NEGU (including Energo-IT, Central Relay protection and Automation Service, National Dispatch Center, Capital Construction department), Uzenergoinspection, Ministry of Construction, etc. Juru Energy supported the client with revealing key power system studies that were missed out by the project development team. The studies are essential for the basic and detailed design of the project and if unnoticed would bring serious delays and cost overruns in the later stages.
