Primetals Technologies Tapped for Substation Build
10/24/2024 - Primetals Technologies has been contracted to build an electrical substation for Saarstahl’s plant in Völklingen, Germany.
The substation will covert voltage from 110 kV to 35 or 10.5 kilovolt (kV). It will feature 110 kV gas-insulated switchgear, three 200 megavolt-amperes transformers and one 40 MVA transformer. The equipment also comprises 35 kV gas-insulated switchgear as well as a 10.5 kV air-insulated switchgear.
Primetals Technologies said the order reflects the long-standing relationship between the two companies.
“This large order also highlights Primetals Technologies’ ability to execute major energy supply projects alongside conventional plant engineering and building projects, thanks to the knowledge and expertise gained through its history of supplying similar large energy systems for customers worldwide,” the company said.
Recently, Saarstahl affiliates Dillinger and ROGESA signed contracts with Primetals Technologies for the supply of a new production complex, which includes a DRI plant contracted along with Midrex Technologies and an EAF Ultimate electric arc furnace plant, including two twin ladle furnaces.
