- Description
- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), has a requirement to build and test prototypes (designated Phase I and Phase II) of a new type of emergency spare extreme high voltage (EHV) network transformer to energize at U.S. electric grid substations during the recovery time period after high voltage transformer outages due to equipment failure, weather, earthquake, etc. The first prototype transformer, Phase I, will be based on current state of the art technologies and will include a demonstration on the grid at a live substation. The Phase I prototype EHV Recovery Transformer should transform 100 to 200 MVA of power from 345 KV to 138/115 KV at 99% efficiency and be transportable by flatbed tractor trailer. The second prototype transformer, Phase II, will be significantly smaller, lighter, and easier to deploy than the transformer in Phase I. Development of the Phase II transformer will include a technology survey to develop its specifications which may include supporting technologies including, but not limited to, superconducting materials, SF6 compressed gas as a dielectric, or other new technologies. This phase will include lab demonstrations to demonstrate and evaluate the use of these technologies. Specifications for the Phase II prototype will be developed during the technology survey in coordination with the Government and the electrical industry.
