Philippine grid firm to invest $6.4M for substations

The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines will invest P269 million or US$6.44 million for additional capacitor banks at substations in the Luzon grid.

The project will cover the installation of shunt reactors.

“The equipment is expected to benefit not only the substation supporting the installation, but the neighboring substations as well,” the company has emphasized.

According to the NGCP, the shunt reactor in Naga will “address the overvoltage problem experienced in the area during off-peak load condition with Tiwi plant at minimum generation.”

The transmission firm pointed out that the reactors will similarly ease overvoltage dilemmas with the switching of the filters of Leyte-Luzon high voltage direct current station in Naga City.

“The capacitor components of the voltage improvement project in the four substations will improve the voltage profile during normal conditions and address the potential undervoltage during contingencies,” NGCP has reiterated.
