West Burton Power Station

KIPO were appointed by SPIE as a consultant to carry out a (1.5GW) with 23MW of critical MV/ LV distribution design for EDF CIT France. We were also asked to carry out load list reviews in respect of establishing the detailed design criteria and critical factors involved to ensure that transformers, generators and UPS did not overload.

Our services and solutions included:

  • Lead technical sizing notes for all the EBOP (Electrical Balance of Plant) for a new build power station including UPS, DC batteries, transformers, switchgears, cable sizing, detailed short circuit studies, selectivity, earthing an emergency generator

  • Detailed design technical sizing notes comprised of: the stations multiple UPS systems, transformer sizing calculations, cable sizing calculations, equipment schedules and lighting

  • The Data Centre systems and Invertors were configured to a 2N system configuration, using IGBT technology, power generation systems for standby and mains synchronised

  • Short circuit studies & Protection and Selectivity studies were carried out. The discrimination study involved generator, transformer, inrush current relay grading margins, generator load acceptance calculations, DC load and battery sizing reviews, report writing and a presentation.

  • We also provided sizing notes on the diesel generators, all the MV/LV and LV/LV transformers and UPS
