The Neoenergia Unit in Campinas, São Paulo, Has a Capacity of 66 MVA and Dispenses with the Presence of Electricians and Operators

On last Monday, the 23rd, Neoenergia energized the Leme 2 substation in Campinas, São Paulo, through the distributor Elektro. The project, which had an investment of over R$ 20 million, will benefit more than 40,000 people. The project also brings a significant improvement in reliability and a great growth for the inland region of São Paulo.

The new substation has a capacity of 66 MVA, distributed across 10 feeders of 13.8 kV, and features GIS technology, meaning a gas-insulated switchgear, which provides greater reliability and practicality in terms of maintenance, and in case of the need to act on atypical incidents, making it possible to resolve incidents more quickly, thereby reducing the customer’s waiting time for the complete restoration of energy.

The automation system also eliminates the need for electricians and operators to perform exercises at the unit, which are carried out by Elektro’s Distribution Operations Center (COD) in Campinas directly via satellite communication, thus ensuring almost zero maintenance. This improvement enhances the quality level of energy supply.
