GIS Overhauling Project
The successful completion of our three-year overhauling project of 80 GIS bays was accomplished in FY 2022 which is another major landmark that facilitated in ensuring improved and reliable system performance.
Transmission Line Rehabilitation
To increase the stability and reliability of the transmission line and for smooth operation of transmission line in all seasons, rehabilitation operations were performed which include Room Temperature Vulcanizing silicone (RTV) coating on insulator strings, replacement of existing Porcelain Insulators with Composite Insulators, and rehabilitation of transmission line structures and foundations of multiple circuits in […]
Bird Fall Protection Project
To reduce transient tripping frequency of transformers and grid equipment due to wire/rope droppings by birds on wires, two initiatives have been implemented. Under the first initiative, insulation boots on bushing clamps and cable lugs of Power Transformers were installed in KE Grid network. This has increased grid reliability by 8%. Under the second initiative, […]
Implementation of Tripping Schemes
With the offtake of 1,100 MW power from the national grid, various special protection schemes were studied and applied to enhance system stability under exigent scenarios. These schemes have helped improve system security and increased outage flexibility to perform rehabilitation works on critical 220kV interconnecting lines whilst successfully importing 1,100 MW power from National grid. […]
Hub, Vinder, Uthal & Bela Project (HVUB)
KE has planned to erect a new double circuit of 132kV transmission line from Hub-Chowki to Bela grid and enhancement of grids in Vinder, Uthal & Bela from 66 kV to 132 kV in line with the Company’s vision to bring a substantial change in the rural parts of its service territory by upgrading its […]
Grid Capacity Enhancement Projects
To meet new residential and industrial demand and meet any contingency situations, during the year, KE energized power transformers at Korangi South, PRL, Maymar, and Memon Goth Grids under the Hybrid Insulated Switchgear (HIS) capacity enhancement project alongside other replacement/ enhancement activities that has resulted in net transmission capacity addition of 267MVA. New Interconnection Points […]
