To ensure safe power transmission for the year 2017, EVNNPT will continue the solutions to avoid the faults caused by the violation of the right of way, contaminated insulators and lightening, enhance the inspection for technical management, frequently check the secondary circuit equipment, relays and control cubicles, urge the Power Project Management Units to ensure the power transmission projects to be completed as per the schedule assigned by EVN.
Mr. Ngo Son Hai, EVN Vice President, said: “According to the estimation of the National Load Dispatch Center, up to 2020, it is expected that the transmission of power through North-Central transmission line will not fluctuate much, only the transmission through the Central- South transmission line will increase to 20 billion kWh. Therefore, EVNNPT needs to thoroughly prepare plans to ensure safe operation of the 500 kV transmission systems".
For specific solutions, Vice President Ngo Son Hai requested EVNNPT to ensure the construction schedule of the urgent projects to supply power for the South, Hanoi capital and the projects serving APEC 2017. Specially, EVNNPT needs to complete the project of replacing optical fibers for the first circuit of the 500kV transmission line in December 2016.
For the solutions for technical management, Vice President Ngo Son Hai requested EVNNPT to reduce faults due to lightening, to review and enhance the backup materials, to pay attention to live working and apply information technology in management.
