Hengfengyou Electric recently successfully delivered 12 2500kVA-15/0.4kV box type substations to a large industrial park in Ethiopia, completely solving the core bottleneck of unstable voltage and insufficient power supply in the park. This batch of products has excellent stability, high efficiency and energy saving, and strong environmental adaptability, ensuring continuous power supply to the production line. It is expected to reduce energy consumption by 15% annually and save more than 300000 US dollars in power outage costs. The project demonstrates the strength of Hengfengyou Electric in deeply cultivating the African market and winning an excellent reputation for "Made in China".
I. Market Overview: The demand for power equipment in Ethiopia continues to grow
As one of the fastest growing countries in East Africa, Ethiopia is vigorously promoting industrialization and infrastructure construction. In recent years, the government of the country has invested heavily in the construction of industrial parks and manufacturing bases, resulting in an explosive growth in demand for power equipment such as 2500kVA-15/0.4kV box type substations. According to the latest data from Ethiopian Electric Power Company, the average annual demand for box type substations in the industrial park sector alone will exceed 200 units in the next five years. With Ethiopia's accession to the Global Green Energy Initiative, the government's energy efficiency requirements for power equipment are becoming increasingly strict, providing a broad market space for efficient and energy-saving products such as Hengfengyou Electric's 2500kVA-15/0.4kV box type substations. Currently, the demand for high-end box type substations with intelligent monitoring and remote operation functions is particularly urgent in the Ethiopian market, and it is expected that the annual growth rate of the related product market will remain above 15%.
II. Hengfengyou 2500kVA-15/0.4kV Box type Substation: The 'Terminator' of the Power Bottleneck in the Ethiopian Industrial Park
As a pioneer of industrialization in East Africa, Ethiopia often faces serious power supply problems in its newly built industrial parks due to weak power grid infrastructure. Hengfengyou Electric has tailored 12 2500kVA-15/0.4kV box type substations for Ethiopia, perfectly solving the dilemma of the park being unable to use electricity and unable to operate production. The primary side 15kV voltage level of these 2500kVA-15/0.4kV box type substations is perfectly connected to the main line of the Ethiopian national power grid, and the secondary side 0.4kV low-voltage output directly meets the needs of all electrical equipment in the factory, becoming the core equipment for power upgrading in the park. II. Technical Hardcore: Excellent Performance of Ethiopia 2500kVA-15/0.4kV Box type Substation
III. Technical standard adaptation: Hengfengyou 2500kVA-15/0.4kV box type substation fully complies with Ethiopian national standards
Hengfengyou Electric has conducted in-depth research on Ethiopian power standards to ensure that 12 2500kVA-15/0.4kV box type substations fully comply with local technical requirements. This batch of box type substations strictly follows the EEC STD-2022 Technical Specification for Medium Voltage Distribution Equipment developed by the Ethiopian Electric Power Company (EEP), has been certified by the Ethiopian National Standards Agency (ESA), and has obtained the ETMark mandatory certification mark.
In response to the unique high-altitude climate environment of Ethiopia (altitude of 2000-3000 meters, large temperature difference between day and night), Hengfengyou 2500kVA-15/0.4kV box type substation has undergone special technical optimization: the insulation level has been upgraded to Class H (180 ℃), the temperature rise limit has been adjusted according to the altitude of 3000m (K=1.25), the protection level has reached IP54 outdoor dust and waterproof standards, and the anti-corrosion level has reached C4-M level, perfectly adapting to the local high ultraviolet environment.
In terms of electrical parameters, the Hengfengyou 2500kVA-15/0.4kV box type substation accurately matches the conditions of the Ethiopian power grid: the rated voltage is 15kV ± 2 × 2.5%/0.4kV, the frequency is 50Hz, which fully meets the standards of the East African power grid, the short-circuit impedance is 6%, which meets the short-circuit capacity requirements of the Ethiopian power grid, and the insulation level LI75AC35/AC3 is 20% higher than the local standard. These technical features ensure the stable and reliable operation of the equipment in the Ethiopian power grid environment.
IV. Efficient execution: Successful delivery of the 2500kVA-15/0.4kV box type substation project in Ethiopia
Hengfengyou Electric once again demonstrated its efficient organization and delivery capabilities in this project:
-Quick response: From confirming the technical solution to the production and shipment of all 12 box type substations, it only took 70 days.
-Customs clearance and delivery: The team efficiently coordinates sea and local land transportation, assists customers in completing customs clearance, and ensures the safe arrival of all equipment in the park.
-Technical Empowerment: Dispatch a team of engineers to provide on-site guidance for installation and debugging, and offer technical training to the local operation and maintenance team to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
V. Localized Service: Operation and Maintenance Support for 2500kVA-15/0.4kV Box type Substation in Ethiopia
In response to the long-term operational requirements of the 2500kVA-15/0.4kV box type substation project in Ethiopia, Hengfengyou Electric dispatched a team of professional engineers to provide on-site guidance for installation and commissioning. To ensure the stable operation of these 2500kVA-15/0.4kV box type substations, the team provides specialized technical training for local operation and maintenance personnel. The power director of the park commented, 'The quality and service of these 2500kVA-15/0.4kV box type substations are impressive, and they are the foundation for our continued cooperation in the future.'.
