High Voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (HV GIS) Solution for Singapore
Ⅰ. Project Background
As a city-state with the world's highest population density (7,615 people/km²), Singapore faces growing electricity demand (3.5% annual growth) amid extreme land scarcity (total area: 728 km²). Traditional air-insulated switchgear (AIS) struggles to meet the compact requirements of urban substations due to its large footprint and high maintenance costs. The High Voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (HV GIS) emerges as the optimal solution given Singapore's equatorial climate - with over 80% annual humidity and strong salt spray corrosion - demanding superior insulation performance.
Under the "2030 Green Energy Plan" (targeting 35% solar energy share), Singapore's grid must support large-scale renewable integration, requiring High Voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (HV GIS) to deliver enhanced capabilities:
Short-circuit capacity: Up to 63kA
Rapid response: Operation time <50ms
Smart grid compatibility
Furthermore, Singapore's Electrical Safety Code mandates a 30% reduction in lifecycle carbon emissions for critical power equipment, driving High Voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (HV GIS) toward sustainability.
Ⅱ. Solution
This High Voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (HV GIS) solution integrates five technological breakthroughs:
- Compact Modular Design
The High Voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (HV GIS) employs three-phase common tank structures reducing footprint by 45% (e.g., 252kV GIS occupies only 3.5m² per bay), ideal for underground substations in HDB estates or Marina Bay. - Smart Monitoring & Maintenance
Our High Voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (HV GIS) solution features integrated SF6 density (±0.01MPa precision) and UHF partial discharge sensors feeding data to the Smart Grid Platform. - Eco-Friendly Technology
The sustainable High Voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (HV GIS) design uses 100% recyclable Al-Mg alloy housing and dry air insulation achieving near-zero GWP. - Disaster Resilience
Specially engineered High Voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (HV GIS) achieves IP68 rating (1.5m water immersion for 72 hours) with active drainage systems for basement installations. - Localized Supply Chain
Singapore-optimized High Voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (HV GIS) benefits from ST Engineering collaboration, boosting local procurement to 40%.
Ⅲ. Achievements
The High Voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (HV GIS) implementation delivers:
- 18% lower lifecycle costs with 35% O&M savings
- 2.3-ton annual CO2 reduction per bay
- 60% footprint reduction at Marina Bay substation
