Engineering Challenge

The project required executing brownfield construction adjacent to live 225 kV transmission busbars with zero unplanned outages to surrounding industrial consumers, coupled with severe summer ambient temperatures exceeding 48°C.

T Afrik Executed Solution

T AFRIK engineered a staged modular cut-over sequence using pre-commissioned digital protection relays and temporary bypass feeders. We coordinated factory witness testing of dual 120 MVA autotransformers and oversaw heavy-haul transport from port to site.

Technical Scope & Commissioning Highlights

  • Gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) expansion with SF6 density telemetry
  • IEC 61850 substation automation architecture with redundant optical rings
  • High-voltage dielectric and partial discharge (PD) testing on site
  • Integration with national dispatch SCADA protocols

Engineering Challenge

The remote mine was wholly dependent on expensive, carbon-intensive diesel generators subject to volatile fuel convoy logistics. The electrical system suffered from large inductive motor starting surges causing frequent voltage sags.

T Afrik Executed Solution

Deployed 32 MWh of liquid-cooled containerized BESS with 4-quadrant power conversion inverters capable of millisecond virtual inertia and reactive power compensation, displacing over 65% of diesel consumption.

Technical Scope & Commissioning Highlights

  • Aerosol fire suppression and multi-layer battery management system (BMS)
  • Automated microgrid power plant controller (PPC) and spinning reserve optimization
  • 33 kV vacuum circuit breaker ring main units with arc-flash detection
  • Harsh tropical environmental hardening with C5 anti-corrosion marine coating

Engineering Challenge

Underground substation footprints in central urban basements were strictly limited. Strict municipal noise and fire bylaws prohibited conventional flammable mineral oil transformers.

T Afrik Executed Solution

Supplied and integrated compact modular SF6-free ring main units and low-loss Class F cast resin dry-type transformers equipped with digital thermal sensors and automated motor mechanisms for remote SCADA switching.

Technical Scope & Commissioning Highlights

  • Class F cast resin dry-type transformers with PT100 temperature monitoring
  • Compact modular ring main units designed for tight urban basement substations
  • SCADA tele-control RTUs enabling automated feeder sectionalization under 500ms
  • Full coordination with Tunisian national grid regulations and safety bylaws
