Container Substations

g2 Energy took one of their 33kV client side switchgear containers. This is housed in a modified 20′ steel ISO shipping container and is therefore easily shipped around the world. The units are fully fitted out and pre-commissioned prior to leaving their warehouse, all ready for immediate connection to the grid.

These bespoke Container Substations can be designed to the project and client specific requirements and with innovative screw piled foundations, which reduces site activity to an absolute minimum.

g2 Energy also have access to a number of 33kV & 11kV DNO metering circuit breakers, available for installation prior to the March 2017 ROC & FiT deadlines, however time is running out rapidly, so developers will need to move swiftly to secure this switch-gear to meet the fast approaching deadline.

If you would like to discuss any specific project requirements, then please contact g2 Energy using the following details: [email protected] | 01234 482482 | www.g2energy.co.uk

The trailer mounted degasifier trailer prepares oil for use in extra high voltage cables and circuits – the compact unit makes it easier to access remote and difficult locations that standard oil lorries and trucks struggle to reach or need temporary roads built to get to the worksite.

The pictured degasifier trailer was custom manufactured to a client specification by ECS.

Ensto Four Core LV Overhead Line Equipment

Ensto’s Four Core system has four insulated conductors constructed from aluminium that share the tensile load equally and have a size range of 16-185sqmm. Insulation of the cores is typically made of XLPE or PE and the cable can be supplied with one or two insulated conductors for street lighting.

An insulated messenger wire cable (IMWS) consists of one to five black, weather resistant, high density or cross-linked, polyethylene insulated conductors twisted around an insulated aluminum alloy messenger (typical tensile strength 300 N/sqmm)

The uninsulated messenger wire system (AMKA) is a reliable, safe and easy way to build a low voltage overhead line system. Because of the small amount of components and short poles it is easy to build and preferred by many professionals.
