Proyek Pagpapatibay ng Automated Distribution Network sa Saudi Arabia: Pagsisikap at Teknikal na Sinergya ng Recloser Application

1. Background at ng Analisis ng Pangangailangan ng Proyekto

​1.1 Mga Pangangailangan para sa Pag-upgrade ng Distribusyon Network ng Saudi Arabia​
Ang Saudi Arabia ay nagpapatuloy sa kanyang "Vision 2030" na plano ng paglipat ng enerhiya, na may layuning makamit ang 40% na awtomatikong distribusyon network sa 2025. Ang mga pangunahing hakbang ay kinabibilangan ng paglalagay ng 33,000 na intelligent ring main units (RMUs) at reclosers sa 11 lungsod tulad ng Riyadh at Dammam upang palakasin ang kapani-paniwalang grid at integrasyon ng renewable energy. Ang kasalukuyang mga hamon ay kinabibilangan ng:

• ​Luma na Infrastraktura: Ang umiiral na RMUs at pole-mounted circuit breakers ay walang remote monitoring, na nagdudulot ng mahabang panahon ng pagsasaayos ng kapansanan.
• ​Pag-adapt sa Mataas na Temperatura: Ang tradisyonal na kagamitan ay naghuhuli sa ekstremong temperatura na higit sa 45°C.
• ​Pag-ugnay ng Renewable Energy: Ang mabilis na paglalagay ng solar at proyekto ng energy storage ay nangangailangan ng mas mabilis na tugon ng grid.

1.2​ Teknolohikal na mga Pabor ng Rockwill​
Si Rockwill ay espesyalista sa medium-voltage switchgear, na nagbibigay ng:

• ​Intelligent Vacuum Switches: Nagbibigay-daan sa mabilis na pag-isolate ng kapansanan at remote interaction.
• ​Digital Substation Systems: Katugma sa smart grid architectures.
• ​Disenyo para sa Mataas na Temperatura: Weather-resistant epoxy resin enclosures at self-cooling mechanisms, na na-validate sa pamamagitan ng KEMA certification.

​2. disenyo ng Teknikal na Solusyon

​2.1 Puno ng mga Function ng Reclosers​

• ​Kapangyarihan sa Mataas na Temperatura: Self-cooling designs at heat-resistant materials sigurado ang matatag na operasyon sa 45°C.
• ​Mabilis na Pag-handle ng Kapansanan: DSP chips at permanent magnet actuators reduce response time to ≤20 ms, supporting directional overcurrent protection.
• ​Digital Integration: GPRS communication links to SCADA systems for real-time fault location and predictive maintenance.

2.2​ Integrasyon sa mga System ng Automation ng Distribusyon​

• ​Katugma: Ang reclosers ay katugma sa IEC 101/DNP3.0 protocols ng Saudi Electricity Company (SEC).
• ​Sinergiya sa RMUs: Nagtutulungan sa 33,000 RMUs na inilagay ng China Electric Equipment Group (CEEG) upang bumuo ng isang self-healing network, na binabawasan ang oras ng brownout hanggang ≤3 minuto.
• ​Pag-adapt sa Renewable Energy: Synchronized switching technology minimizes overvoltage during solar integration, supporting projects like Red Sea Energy Storage.

​2.3 Localized Service Support​

• ​Remote Diagnostics: Reduces manual inspections in extreme heat.
• ​Training Programs: Partner with SEC to establish local maintenance teams.

​3. Implementasyon at Collaborasyon

3.1​ Pilot Phase (2025–2026)​​

• ​Priority Deployment: Replace aging equipment in Riyadh and Dammam, targeting 5,000 reclosers alongside CEEG's RMUs.
• ​Performance Testing: Validate reliability during summer peaks.

3.2​ Scale-Up Phase (2027–2028)​​

• ​Local Manufacturing: Partner with ACWA Power or Chinese EPC firms (e.g., Tgood) to establish production in Jeddah Free Zone.
• ​Regional Expansion: Export to GCC countries via Saudi's logistics hubs.

3.3​ Full Coverage (2029–2030)​​

• ​Renewable Projects: Support NEOM City and Red Sea Storage (1,300 MWh) with recloser solutions.
• ​Smart Grid Expansion: Align with Saudi's 58.7 GW renewable target through digital substations.

​4. Economic at Social Value

4.1 ​Cost at Efficiency Gains​

• ​30% Lower O&M Costs: Remote monitoring and predictive maintenance reduce manual efforts.
• ​60% Fewer Outages: Enhanced reliability improves customer satisfaction.

4.2 ​Market at Brand Impact​

• ​Niche Market Leadership: Tap into Saudi's $20 billion power equipment market (8% annual growth).
• ​Strategic Benchmarking: Establish Rockwill as a "Smart China" brand via flagship projects.

​Rockwill's recloser-centric solution aligns with Saudi's Vision 2030, combining localized collaboration and technical innovation to optimize costs and accelerate energy transition. Future opportunities include replicating this model across the Middle East and Africa, leveraging Saudi's logistics and renewable leadership
