Network extensions

We design electrical network extensions and the integration of new segments into the existing infrastructure, with attention to operation, permitting and compatibility with future developments.

ANRE context

Extensions come up frequently in the connection process, when the solution involves new lines, transformer substations, switching stations or reinforcement works. The documentation has to reconcile the operator's requirements with an executable solution.

In brief

What this service solves

A network extension designs the new infrastructure a connection or a development needs: routes, overhead/underground lines, substations, protections and integration with the existing network.

ANRE D1 attestation0.4 kV - 400 kVRomania and the Republic of Moldova

01

Input

We analyse the approved solution and the capacity of the existing network.

02

Analysis

We define the routes, the equipment and the protection conditions.

03

Documentation

We coordinate the documentation with the network operator and with the related approvals.

04

Permitting

We prepare the deliverables for construction and acceptance.

When it is needed

  • A network extension is needed when a connection or the development of an area calls for new electrical infrastructure.
  • The typical case is a connection that requires new lines or transformer substations.
  • Extensions come up in industrial, residential or public areas under development.
  • Reinforcement works imposed through the connection solution are designed as network extensions too.

Documents to start from

  • A network extension starts from the connection permit (ATR) or from the extension brief.
  • The site plans and the proposed routes are required.
  • The data on the consumers and producers already connected shows how loaded the network is.
  • The approvals from utility owners and the local conditions bound the possible route.

Main deliverables

  • The client receives the network extension study or design.
  • The documentation contains the diagrams and the route drawings.
  • The sizing and protection calculations justify the solution chosen.
  • The set is prepared for permitting and for construction.

Decisions it settles

  • The design establishes the optimal route and the connection points.
  • It fixes the equipment required for operation.
  • It states the associated reinforcement or protection works.
