UK, Leeds: Schneider Electric, the leader in energy management and automation, has launched the 2nd generation Metalclad Distribution Substation.
Setting a new standard for safety and reliability for electrical distribution substations, new MDS range delivers a comprehensive, compact solution to save cost and space for utilities, energy and commercial industries.
Substations typically rely on equipment such as transformers, generators, and power cables to deliver power from the generating unit to the end consumer. Traditionally, these major components are purchased from different suppliers and need to be assembled on-site, adding complexity, cost, and potential damage to components.
The 2nd generation Metalclad Distribution Substation (MDS) is a pioneering and cost-effective pre-assembled solution. Its compact size minimises the need for a large space during the installation phase. Additionally, the MDS features a bunding system that captures oil leakage, making it ideal for environmentally sensitive locations such as electric vehicle charging parks, airports, factories, pharmaceuticals, retail parks and railway infrastructure.
“With the growing demand for more secure energy supply across an increasingly complex electricity grid, reliable and safe electrical substations are crucial. Utilities today face ever-higher expectations to maintain power quality and achieve greater service continuity. With the widespread integration of distributed energy resources across the network, more smart grid capabilities are being introduced into substations to meet these expectations,” said David Hall, VP Power Systems, Schneider Electric UK and Ireland, commenting on the launch.
