Project description
For this project, support was provided for the technical preparation, coordination and follow-up of new electrical infrastructure for the site. The works covered both medium and low voltage and were aimed at a reliable power supply for the installations involved, with sufficient room for future expansion.
The first execution phase has already been completed. This involved laying a completely new cable route from the central building to the water treatment plant. Along this new route, with a total length of approximately 350 metres, new medium-voltage cables were pulled through a newly installed cable ladder.
At the water treatment plant, existing medium-voltage substations were redeployed. These substations were relocated internally by Tiense Suiker from one location to another position on the site, after which they were reintegrated into the new overall setup. In this substation, the new MV cables were connected to the existing ABB medium-voltage switchgear. On the side of the central building, connections were made to Siemens medium-voltage switchgear.
Important preparations were also made on the low-voltage side. Downstream of the transformer, a new PrismaSeT 690 V board was installed, alongside an existing Sivacon 400 V board. From there, new low-voltage cables were provided for further distribution to, among others, the cooling towers and the water treatment plant.
The entire setup was also prepared in such a way that future expansions and additional connections can be made in a logical and technically sound manner. The project was therefore not conceived merely as an immediate solution, but also as a robust basis for future growth of the installation.
