Gas-Insulated Substations to Stabilize Ahvaz Power Supply 

To help stabilize power supply in Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan Province, Karoun’s 132/33-kilovolt gas-insulated substation is ready to be synchronized with the national power grid, the head of provincial power company said.
“Costing $15 million, the new installations will prevent industrial towns in and around Ahvaz from the adverse impact of voltage fluctuations in the hot summer days when electricity consumption peaks in the region,” Mahmoud Dashtbozorg was also quoted as saying by ISNA.
GIS is equipped with a 50-megavolt-ampere transformer, which will improve the stability of power transmission in the local grid, he added.
The facility has already passed all the tests successfully and will be linked to the national network soon.
