This gives a more of an idea of what we had to contend with. It wasn’t the easiest to get your head around.
Again the grid operators equipment is in red our equipment in blue.
The four 33KV main feeds and the two 11KV standby feeds were under the control of the grid operators with but we could lock them out. The grid operators had to isolate them if needs be.
Emergency generators shown in purple at 660V stepped up to 11KV. The generators operated in islanded mode so no synchronisation needed. Only three substations had generators.
E54:
You asked what company would put up with a distribution system that is far from ideal. I’ll ask you, how many companies would pay to totally rebuild that system?
We would need 30MW to keep some semblance of production going. To build a power plant of that size = £XX million. It just isn’t going to happen.
