110kV 50MVAR Capacitor Bank at Ba Che 220kV Substation

On April 24, 2025, My Phuong Trading Co., Ltd (MPCo) successfully conducted the acceptance and energization of the 110kV, 50MVAr capacitor bank at Ba Che 220kV Substation (Thanh Hoa Province), under Package No. 3: Supply and transportation of primary equipment and materials, issued by the National Power Transmission Project Management Board.

Project Information

• Project Name: Ba Che 220kV Substation
• Investor: Power Transmission Project Management Board – a branch of the National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT)
• Location: Thieu Long Commune, Thieu Hoa District, Thanh Hoa Province
• Implementation Period: November 2024 – April 2025

The capacitor bank is manufactured by Eaton’s Cooper, a company with over 80 years of experience in the electrical equipment industry. It utilizes internally fused capacitor units of the EX-7Li type, with a rated voltage of 15kV and a capacity of 565 kVAr per unit, with a total of 120 units (50MVAr per bank).

Energization of 110kV, 50MVAR Capacitor Bank at Ba Che 220kV Substation

The commissioning of the capacitor bank contributes to maintaining transmission grid voltage in the Northern region within permissible limits, meeting the increasing power demand of critical loads. It also enhances the stability of power supply, reduces power and energy losses, and thereby improves the operational and business efficiency of Vietnam Electricity (EVN).
