Switzerland
ANDRITZ HYDRO has received a contract from Nant de Drance SA for the delivery of the electrical protection system for HPP Nant de Drance in Switzerland.
The 900 MW pumped storage power plant is located in the Swiss Alps and will deliver 2,500 GWh of electricity per year into the grid.
It is the first HIPASE P protection solution awarded into the Swiss market.
The new developed HIPASE P platform will be applied for the electrical protection of all six asynchronous motor generators (each rated at 174 MVA), all six block transformers, and all three station service transformers. The protection will be conducted redundant because of the high importance of this power plant.
Commissioning is expected stepwise from 2017 until 2018.
