The Philippines, Manila: National Grid Corp of the Philippines has energised new power transformers in several substations as part of the North Luzon Substation Upgrading Project.
“The upgrading of these substations is being done to cater for the load growth and provide N-1 contingency to substations in NGCP’s North Luzon Region. Without the project, power interruptions may be experienced by customers in the event of failure of existing transformers and power circuit breakers,” said a statement by NGCP.
An N-1 contingency is the ability of the grid to withstand a major system disturbance with minimal or no impact on the system and a requirement of the Philippine Grid Code.
NGCP also energized its 100 MVA transformer in Tuguegarao Substation in Cagayan and another 100 MVA transformer in San Esteban Substation in Ilocos Sur in February.
The company plans to upgrade its substations in other regions in near future.
