Saudi Arabia: Developers of Jubail 3B Indepent Water Producer Project (IWP), which is under bidding stage, issued the RFP for 380 kV substation and 380 kV transmission line package.
The new substation will feed the power supply to the IWP project. The project scope of work involves two portions.
Portion 1 of the project involves the construction a new indoor 380 / 33 kV gas insulated substation, named as SWPC 3B 380 / 33 kV BSP.
The substation will consist of the following, among others: 380 kV gas insulated switchgear, 13.8 kV switchgear
82.5 / 102.5 MVA, 380 / 33 / 13.8 kV power transformer, 2 MVA, 13.8 kV / 400 V – 230 V station service transformers and 13.8 kV grounding transformers.
The BSP shall be equipped with IEC 61850 standards based technically and economically optimized substation automation system and will be remotely controlled from the Saudi Electricity Company’s Power Control Center (PCC) through SCADA and Communication.
Portion 2 of the Project involve Design and construct one 380 kV double circuit overhead transmission line. The approximate route length is 59 km.
The planned capacity of the Jubail 3B IWP is 570,000 m3/day. The plant will be designed using Reverse Osmosis seawater desalination technology.
The desalination plant will be located in Jubail area, eastern region of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
