Section – 1 (Power Transformer)

A. Purpose: The purpose of this document is to design (sizing calculation) main

incoming power transformer of Main Receiving Substation (MRSS) to fed the
electrical energy Seawater Desalination Plant
B. Scope: This document covers the sizing of following equipment
i. Main incomer power transformer at MRSS.
C. Input data required
The following factor are considered while choosing the transformer size
Sl. No. Parameters Value
1. Ambient Temperature 400 C
2. Incoming voltage available 132 kV
3. Location Outdoor switchyard
4. Standby required 100 %

D. Sizing Calculation
1. For Continuous load demand
Sl. No. Feeder Load (kVA)
1. Desalination plant Load 2800
2. IREl Incoming plant Load 5000
3. Spare Capacity (20% of connected 1560
load)
Total 9360 kVA

Total continuous maximum demand = 9360 kVA

Based on past design experience of the existing facilities, a suitable diversity factor of 1.3 is
considered.
So, Simultaneous maximum demand is = 7200 kVA
Total spare capacity of 20% is considered as per DBR
So transformer continuous rating with taking the spare capacity is = 7200 x 1.2 kVA =8640
kVA
As the transformer is designed for ambient temperature of 40o C the de-rating factor for
ambient temperature is not considered.
As there is no motor connected at 11 kV starting kVA is not considered.
Based on the continuous base load of 8640 kVA , the transformer size selected is = 10/12.5
MVA.
Conclusion:
a. The transformers selected are 2 nos. of 132/11 kV Oil immersed 10/12.5 MVA
(ONAN/ONAF) transformer in the 2 100% configurati
both the transformers shall share the total load equally in the ratio 1:1.
b. The value of NGR is 5.29 ohms.
