Larsen & Toubro announced this week its Power Transmission & Distribution vertical has won new orders in the Middle East for expanding and strengthening the electricity grids at high voltage levels.
In Saudi Arabia, the different operating regions in the national electricity network are being interconnected through high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) links that enable exchange of power between regions and enhanced system resilience. L&T has secured orders to establish ±500 kV HVDC transmission links associated with these interconnections.
L&T has also won orders for three more packages involving two 380kV overhead transmission lines and a bulk supply 380 kV gas insulated substation (GIS). These elements contribute significantly to the renewable generation interconnection and fortification of the grid.
In Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, L&T has received an order to build two major 400kV GIS. In addition to civil works, the scope also involves series current limiting reactors, auto transformers, related control, protection, substation monitoring & alarm systems including fault and power quality monitoring, telecommunication systems and integration with the load dispatch centre. These substations will enhance the power transfer capacity of the electricity grid.
