QCoal Byerwen Power Supply Implementation

AEP Elical completed a High Voltage (HV) power supply concept design study which focused on the HV infrastructure as part of the QCoal Byerwen Project feasibility study. The scope included the following design and costing elements: 66kV supply to site, 66kV and 11kV reticulation around site and the associated distribution infrastructure. The scope was extended to detailed design and owners engineer for implementation.

AEP Elical provided substantive mining experience to develop a staged approach to the power system to match the long term mine plan. The design utilised transportable switching station and main substation to allow maximum flexibility and minimise on-site construction. Further, AEP Elical incorporated the ABB PAS unit in the switching station which saved considerable space and resulted in substantial cost savings.
