The TP Southern Odisha Distribution Limited (TPSODL) has deployed mobile substations at all circles at Brahmapur to cater to need of power requirements during the ongoing hot summer.
These will result in the deployment of one mobile substation 11/0.4 kV in each of the six circles that include Brahmapur circle, City Circle, Rayagada Circle, Jeypore Circle, Aska Circle, and Bhanjanagar Circle.
The mobile substations are compact plug-in substations with a distribution transformer, high-and-low-tension protection devices, which are mounted on a mobile trolley and can be moved quickly to restore the power supply during any exigency.
The mobile substation can be put into service quickly within approximately 1.5 hours apart from the travel time.
Such mobile sub stations would bring a host of benefits including quick movement and restoration of electrical services in case of faulty distribution transformer; quick restoration of power supply in case of emergency services to critical customer like hospital, water supply; supply power to the customers in case of refurbishment of the DSS; facilitate easy mobility and hence help in immediate power restoration at the time of natural calamities like storms and cyclones. It can also be used in providing temporary power supply during project works.
