Substations HIGH VOLTAGE SUBSTATIONS

UGL is a leading provider of turnkey high voltage (HV) substations of up to 500kV, having delivered 52 projects in the last 10 years, 27 of which were Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) in nature. With this experience, the company has the maturity, strength and resources to deliver remote and complex projects successfully.UGL has a national substation design team, comprising experienced primary, secondary, SCADA, and structural/civil engineers, capable of the complete engineering of the most complex of projects, whether greenfield or brownfield.

Successfully delivering power infrastructure systems throughout Australia, New Zealand and Asia, our project experience includes transmission and distribution substations and switching stations, power stations, HV underground and submarine cables and transmission and distribution power lines.

Our project, engineering and construction processes constantly evolve to ensure that we deliver projects of the highest quality. Our substations are delivered tested and commissioned to meet the most demanding criteria of safety and security.

The benefits we deliverCOMPLETE TURNKEY, ENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT AND CONSTRUCTION (EPC)Clients reduce risk and cost through the reduction in the number of interfaces provided by UGL’s complete project solution. From a single point of contact, UGL manages entire power projects beginning with in-house engineering, procurement and construction through to start up and commissioning. Clients can take advantage of UGL’s unique blend of core competencies to allow faster completion of projects, improved performance, reduced risks and lower costs across greenfield and brownfield projects.

GREATER EFFICIENCIESUGL’s power infrastructure solutions are designed to reach greater efficiencies. Clients will benefit from our ability to draw from a wide variety of leading technologies and UGL’s world’s best practice engineering capability. From flexible gas fired power plants that can meet fluctuating energy requirements to integrated transmission and distribution networks that increase power supply availability, functionality and reliability, UGL’s solutions can enable improved productivity.

CLEANER POWERBy integrating cleaner technologies from leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and employing the most efficient engineering solution, UGL is able to deliver power infrastructure that reduces its environmental impact. For power generation, UGL delivers gas-fired open-cycle, combined-cycle, co-generation and tri-generation power plants which are highly efficient and produce significantly less CO2 emissions. In the power transmission and distribution sector, UGL seeks to capitalise upon technological developments that are making electrical grids more capable of integrating energy from renewable sources.

SOLUTIONS FOR THE ENTIRE LIFE CYCLECommitted to maintaining our partnership with clients well after a plant is commissioned, UGL has extensive experience in supplying and servicing power infrastructure. We offer comprehensive whole of life solutions for power assets that help our clients achieve competitiveness and profitability ensuring long term operational success. Whatever the application, our offerings will meet the requirements for efficiency, reliability and environmental compatibility, providing lower life-cycle costs and the best possible return on investment.

INTEGRATED SOLUTIONSWith the capability to deliver fully integrated energy networks, UGL provides its clients with tailor made solutions that optimise local conditions and specific business environments. Across power generation, power transmission and distribution, UGL draws from a wide body of engineering knowledge and a leading portfolio of advanced technologies to deliver a total solution.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY We recognise the need to partner with the world’s leading technology providers in order to deliver the most advanced solutions. Our partnerships with General Electric (GE), Mitsubishi, Siemens and Alstom amongst others, allows us to lead the way as the ‘integrator’ in the delivery of cutting edge technologies and solutions. Working closely with OEM partners provides UGL with access to an array of next generation technologies that meet the energy needs of tomorrow, from higher efficiency to fewer emissions.

BUILDING LONG TERM CLIENT RELATIONSHIPSIn everything we do, we strive to build long-term relationships with our clients to ensure operational success. This approach extends to the development and wellbeing of our staff, subcontractors and suppliers. UGL strives to become an organic extension of our clients’ businesses, providing high levels of service, together with a strong client commitment and focus.

Sub-industries

HIGH-VOLTAGE (HV) AIR INSULATED SUBSTATIONS (AIS)UGL is a leading provider of solutions and services for Air-Insulated Substations (AIS), critical in high-capacity high-voltage power transmission systems. Our services include the complete planning, delivery and turnkey erection of air-insulated substations of up to 500kV.

Working closely with clients, UGL delivers tailor-made AIS solutions especially when it comes to step-up systems in connection with power stations and large transformer substations in extra-high voltage transmission systems.

Accounting for a wide variety of factors, UGL’s substation switchyard design takes into consideration the coordinates of incoming and outgoing overhead lines, the number and location of transformers and specified voltage levels, also fundamental to switchyard layout.

HIGH-VOLTAGE (HV) GAS INSULATED SUBSTATIONS (GIS)UGL supplies Gas Insulated Substations (GIS) for rated voltages of up to 500 kV. Having access to multiple types of switchgear from leading technology partners, UGL holds ideal solutions for most indoor and outdoor switching applications. All of UGL’s GIS meet the highest requirements in terms of efficiency, safety, and reliability.

UGL’s GIS have been designed with economic efficiency in mind which pays off during the entire lifecycle of the substation and ensures a number of cost benefits to the client. Every GIS solution has been thoroughly optimised for easy operation, accessibility, safety, and dependability.

POWER TRANSFORMERSAs a part of our advanced substation offering, UGL provides expertise and targeted solutions beginning with the initial installation and on through the entire transformer service life. UGL installs rectifier transformers of up to 500kV designed according to exact client specifications which take into consideration voltage, power, system topography, and noise emission levels.

Transformers are also relatively expensive long-term capital assets. With this in mind, UGL’s knowledge and services throughout the entire transformer lifecycle can make all the difference.

SUBSTATION CONTROL SYSTEMSThe company continues to deliver proven solutions for the optimisation of electrical substation operations. UGL’s control systems division delivers an extensive range of products and services designed to enable energy providers to control, monitor and protect substations in the most effective manner possible with the lowest lifecycle cost.
