Digital substation commissioned at a field in KhMAO
Technological breakthrough in the oil and gas industry
Surgutneftegas, one of the largest oil companies in Russia, has commissioned a digital substation at its Bystrinskoye field in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (KhMAO).
The new substation is the first of its kind in the Russian oil and gas industry and is part of Surgutneftegas's digital transformation strategy.
Benefits of the digital substation
The digital substation offers a number of advantages over traditional substations, including:
- Increased efficiency: The digital substation is more efficient than traditional substations, as it uses less energy and has a lower maintenance cost.
- Improved reliability: The digital substation is more reliable than traditional substations, as it is less likely to experience outages.
- Reduced environmental impact: The digital substation has a lower environmental impact than traditional substations, as it uses less energy and produces less greenhouse gases.
The digital substation is a significant investment in the future of the oil and gas industry and is expected to have a major impact on the way that oil and gas is produced in Russia.
Technical details of the digital substation
The digital substation is a fully automated, unmanned facility that uses state-of-the-art technology to monitor and control the flow of electricity.
The substation is equipped with a number of advanced features, including:
- Wide-area monitoring system: The wide-area monitoring system monitors the entire electrical grid in real time, allowing operators to identify and respond to any potential problems.
- Digital fault recorder: The digital fault recorder captures detailed data about any electrical faults that occur, helping operators to identify the cause of the fault and prevent it from happening again.
- Cybersecurity system: The cybersecurity system protects the substation from cyberattacks, ensuring the integrity of the electrical grid.
The digital substation is a major step forward in the development of the oil and gas industry and is expected to have a significant impact on the way that oil and gas is produced in Russia.
