On Aug. 14^th, the 110kV central substation undertaken by SNEI for YPC  Refinery Revamp Project was energized successfully on the first try, various  indicators are normal, the electrical equipment and instruments are operating  steadily. The 2 main transformers in the 110kV central substation of YPC  Refinery Revamp Project each has a capacity of 80kVA, which is the biggest  installed capacity in the history of construction for electrical works  undertaken by SNEI. The substation adopts state-of-the-art domestic technologies  for remote viewing, remote measuring, remote control and remote listening. All  operations are carried out in the background computer. This successful  energizing marks the successful achievement of a key milestone in YPC Refinery  Revamp Project, and has created an excellent condition for subsequent energizing  of substations in each unit.

       The 110kV 1^st Central Substation is the biggest substation on the new  site of YPC Refinery Revamp, and also the first substation to be put into  operation in the refining project. In order to ensure early operation of the  central substation, SNEI project management team for YPC Refinery Revamp U&O  Project worked all out proactively and overcame many adverse factors and  difficulties, and successfully achieved early handover of the central substation  and E/I installation and testing. During the testing, the project management  team proactively organized and arranged civil, HVAC and other disciplines  concerned to assist the change activities, and also assigned dedicated personnel  to keep track of the “3C4D” punch list activities, which provides good  condition for successful energizing of the central substation, and finally makes  it ready for energizing. This successful energizing of the 110kV Central  Substation has laid a solid foundation for the successful interim handover of  YPC Refinery Revamp U&O Project.
