Switzerland, St. Gallen - Breitfeld
St. Gallen Breitfeld

Country: Client: Scope: Switzerland Stadtwerke St. Gallen 5 bays 110 kV GIS type 8DN9 15 bays MV, 24 kV NX Plus 2 x 25 MVA transformers
The substation is located in a stadium. It was a big challenge to coordinate the implementation of the substation with the ongoing work on site. Transformer openings are closed with prefabricated concrete slab, which can be removed with reasonable effort.
Switzerland, St. Gallen - Schochengasse
St. Gallen Schochengasse

Country: Switzerland Client: Stadtwerke St. Gallen Scope: 6 bays 110 kV GIS type 8DN9 2 x 40 MVA power transformers 110/10 kV each 17 bays MV, 10 kV GIS The Substation is integrated in a building complex and installed underground in level-3 and level-4. More than 250 t of materials and equipment had to be craned in to a point 15 m below ground level. In the building above is accommodated a bank and the Switzerland institution for material testing

Switzerland, Winterthur - Wlfingen
110/20 kV Substation Wlflingen

Country: Switzerland Client: Stadtwerke Winterthur The location is between school playground and a motorway about 4m above. The substation is used to equalize the height difference and to detain the noise from the cars. The 2 storey building with cable basement has an even access for transformers. The other side is covered by the rising plot.

Special requirements for underground S/S
1. Soil + Ground Water 2. Fire Fighting 3. HVAC 4. Emissions 5. Access
Soil and Ground Water
Ground water table Soil pressure

Crucial for design and cost
Ground Water Cost Impact
/$
Fire Protection Concept Fire Fighting
Passive Fire Fighting

No flammable material. 2 separated ventilation systems for transformers and building
Active Fire Fighting

Fire extinguish system
HSE Regulations
Emergency exit No toxic materials (PVC)
HVAC
Ventilation
Transformer separated from other devices. More space needed.
Humidity
Avoid humidity by minimizing air exchange
Emmissions
Noise
Inconvenient sound of HVACunits and transformers
Electromagnetic
Too small vertical clearance to public places or EDP
Access
Heavy Equipment
If possible transformers on ground floor
Aesthetic

Cable Basement & Cable Entry

Sample: U/G S/S Round House West Area P1, Toronto Hydro/Canada
Sample: Chorzow S/S, Poland
HV cables in horizontal position terminated LV cables in cable tray above LCC cubicels LV cable entry to LCC cubicles from the top
If the space between ground surface and water table is limited, the cable basement can be avoided.
Conceptual Solutions 66/11 kV GIS

How to cope with the problem of limited space? Use equipment with reduced space requirements
8DN8-72.5 (66 kV GIS)
In construction and technical design 8DN8-72.5 kV corresponds to switchgear 8DN8-145 kV, but is smaller
