Within only 18 months, Siemens built and commissioned

two high-voltage substations for Kahramaa (Qatar General

Electricity and Water Corporation) that cover the 220-kV,

66-kV, and 11-kV voltage levels and another station at

the 66-kV/11-kV voltage levels. The substations, which

are equipped with compact and modular gas-insulated

Siemens switchgear, are perfectly integrated in the sur-

rounding area and virtually “invisible”.

The benefits for the customer:

The substations, that provide power to Kahramaa’s

customers, are considered to be the most advanced

and aesthetic constructed in Qatar from an electrical

and architectural point of view.

Siemens has already made several major contributions

to the development of Qatar’s energy infrastructure with

more than 1,200 switchgear bays in operation.

Aesthetic masterpiecesDoha, Qatar

Just like its economy, Qatar’s electricity sector is

experiencing double-digit growth rates. In the West

Bay area, a newly developed neighborhood of Qatar’s

capital Doha, Siemens delivered the power supply for

more than 100 high-rise buildings. To meet the particular

challenge of inte grating the sub stations into the sur-

rounding cityscape, Siemens developed a bespoke

architectural solution that fully satisfied the customer.

While the delivery of a 220-kV turnkey GIS substation

usually takes about 18 months, Siemens delivered

Al-Shabab in less than one year. The scope of supply

comprised design, construction, testing, and commission-

ing of the substation. It included, among others, the gas-

insulated switchgear, the protection and substation con-

trol systems as well as the communication and security

systems.

The benefits for the customer:

The new substation made it possible to meet the urgent

demand for more power in less than one year. It con-

tributes to grid stability and helps make power supply in

Egypt noticeably more reliable.

Siemens’ installed base in the Egyptian high-voltage

transmission grid comprises more than 400 switchgear

bays altogether. This figure underlines the strong

presence of Siemens in Egypt since 1901.

Fast track

With over 25 million consumers of power, Egypt’s

demand for energy is one of the highest in the region.

Shortages of electricity during peak load times are an

ongoing challenge for providers, and immediate solutions

are required. Siemens took on this challenge and com-

pleted a high-voltage substation for the new Al-Shabab

power plant in less than one year that set a new bench-

mark for such projects.

Reduced footprint

The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA)

appointed Siemens to perform all supply, installation,

testing and commissioning tasks as well as associated

work of the 400/132-kV Car Complex substation. The

scope of supply included 12 bays of 400-kV as well as

29 bays of 132-kV gas-insulated switchgear, four 505 MVA

power transformers, and three 40 MVAr shunt reactors.

The benefits for the customer:

Compared to substations with air-insulated switchgear,

a substation with gas-insulated technology requires only

one-quarter of the space. Siemens’ compact GIS solutions

help the client to provide reliable power and minimizes

space requirements as well as maintenance efforts.

Siemens’ expertise in project management and engineer-

ing, backed by proven methods and processes, supported

the successful delivery of more than 850 high-voltage

switchgear bays in Dubai.

Dubai has seen spectacular growth and an economy

diversifying at a fast pace. The densely urbanized land-

scape of the city demands space-saving solutions that

maximize efficiency. Focusing on a reduced footprint,

Siemens designed and built Car Complex, a 400-kV high-

voltage substation that uses advanced gas-insulated

switchgear technology. Small but powerful, this

sub station supplies electricity not only to Dubai Inter-

national Airport but also to several residential and

commercial areas.

Estimates are that Saudi Arabia’s population will increase

from 28 million to 40 million within the next ten years.

To meet the significant rise in power demand, the installed

capacity will have to double. It will be necessary to build

new power plants with a combined capacity of at least

4,000 MW every year. This is why the Kingdom is making

major investments in the expansion of power-supply

capacities.

Immediate action

Immediately after the Second Gulf War, Siemens stepped

in to help rebuild crucial oil and gas infrastructure in Iraq.

By rehabilitating the 132/7.2-kV cluster pumping network

of the North Rumaila oil field, Siemens enabled the cus-

tomer to significantly increase the production of oil.

Carried out under challenging conditions, this was one

of the largest electricity projects ever delivered in Iraq.

The project comprised the design, installation, and com-

missioning of 58 feeder bays of 132-kV air-insulated

switchgear at ten different project sites across the Rumaila

region.

The cluster pumping station near Basra was one of ten

such stations that Siemens rehabilitated after it was

badly damaged in the Second Gulf War. The reconstruc-

tion of already existing pumping stations was one of the

most important measures necessary to rebuild Iraq’s

infrastructure. Siemens completed the complex turn-

key project in a very short time to the full satisfaction

of the client.

Innovative solutions

Siemens completed a significant high-voltage substation

project in Kuwait: the design and construction of a

300/132/11 kV substation in the Siddeq area. The total

order included the delivery and installation of gas-insu-

lated switchgear for the high and medium-voltage levels,

power transformers, shunt reactors, all the low-, medium-,

and high-voltage cabling, and the design as well as the

construction of the substation buildings.

The benefits for the customer:

The customer decided for a new technology that has

never been used before in Kuwait’s transmission network.

This technology was efficiently adopted by the customer,

who is now ensured of easier maintenance through

the years. The customer also saved costs thanks to the

Siemens gas-insulated bus duct solution.

Siemens has a large installed base in the high-voltage

transmission grid in Kuwait. The company has already

constructed more than 120 high- and medium-voltage

substations in Kuwait and demonstrated its outstanding

expertise in the field of power transmission

and distribution.

It is estimated that Kuwait will require an additional

18,000 MW of generation capacity by 2020. Projects

such as the Siddeq substation are an example of how

innovative engineering solutions can meet the challenges

of a growing transmission grid. Siemens designed and

delivered a 300-kV substation in an area that is congested

with cables and underground services. By using gas-

insulated bus ducts instead of standard oil-filled cables,

the client is now able to safely supply 1,200 MVA of power

to the network.

upgrade for the Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC).

The project included the construction of the complete

load dispatch centre, which incorporates a SCADA energy

management system for 56 grid stations, the remote

terminal unit, and adaptation works, as well as the tele-

communications infrastructure.

A central control system based on Siemens SINAUT

Spectrum was installed in the KESC load dispatch centre

to monitor and control the entire transmission network.

The benefits for the customer:

The installed equipment reduces the switching time

re quired to control the overall system load, thus mini-

mizing outages and load shedding. The central control

system ensures efficient load management in addition

to providing other network control features, such as net-

work planning, modelling, fault analysis, unit commit-

ment, contingency analysis, load forecasting, and

energy management.

The Karachi Electric Supply Company’s upgraded load dis-

patch centre in Karachi is Pakistan’s first state-of-the-art

facility of this kind. It serves the power utility in providing

electricity to more than 16 million people in Karachi.

Effective load management now makes it possible to mini-

mize power outages and load shedding in the network.
