The Guyana Power and Light Incorporated (GPL) is proposing to construct a state-of-the-art control centre located on a new plot of land in Sophia, with financing from China.The Chinese Government has granted the Guyana Government some US$40 million to improve transmission and distribution of electricity in the country.Chief Executive Officer of GPL, Bharat Dindyal, said recently, that this new control centre would allow GPL to automatically manage the entire system in Berbice and Demerara.“The new control centre would also allow us to prepare the company to manage the interconnection of the hydro,” Dindyal said.Upon completion of the facility, he said that GPL will have a modern transmission distribution system in Demerara and Berbice and will have automatic means of managing the system more efficiently.Also with the US$40 million financing, the power company plans to construct a number of substations across the country,Jae Crowder Jersey, as it is looking at integration into the entire network in Demerara and Berbice.In fact, Dindyal said what the money would allow GPL to achieve is an integration of the Berbice and Demerara systems.“What will happen is that we will have transmission lines now emanating from Sophia, and right now the government is financing the interconnection of the new plant at Kingston at 69,000 volts. At Kingston, we are hoping to construct a new substation and finally discontinue all operations at the old steam plant.”From the new substation at Kingston,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, GPL is hoping to extend a 69 KV submarine connection to West Demerara and this will connect their West Demerara location at two points,NFL Jerseys Outlet, one at Vreed-en-Hoop and another point at Edinburgh.A substation will be at both locations. The one at Edinburgh will deal with power quality problems on the lower West Coast.It will allow GPL to deliver much more power of a better quality.Dindyal noted that in Georgetown, GPL is hoping that the Kingston substation and a new substation to be constructed in South Georgetown would allow the company to standardise the frequency in Georgetown and also allow it to upload large feeds for the eastern section of Georgetown.On the East Coast of Demerara,Wholesale Jerseys Authentic, the company is also proposing to construct two substations, one on the lower East Coast and one in the Mahaica area, to deal with low growth in those areas.A new substation is also to be constructed in central Corentyne as the government is financing the interconnection of the Skeldon plant to GPL’s Number 53 Village substation.According to Dindyal, when this is completed, it would have a transmission link extending from Skeldon to Number 53 village to Canefield, to Onverwagt to Sophia to Kingston and then to West Demerara.The power company also plans to construct a substation in Diamond,NFL Jerseys China, East Bank Demerara, as well.These substations would be designed to be fully automatic and will do automatic voltage regulation, which means that GPL will automatically correct voltage should a system event occur that causes low voltage.“So we will not only see a dramatic improvement in the supply, but we will see a significant increase in the capacity and volume of power that GPL can supply from one end of its network to another end.”Dindyal said that this would also allow GPL to remove from service, all the small diesel fire units in both Demerara and Berbice,Air Max 2019 Offerta, and to be able to utilise heavy fuel oil units and position the system to deal with the efficient distribution of hydropower in 2013.
