CIT Solutions for Southeast Asia: Mitigating Grid Risks with Compound Insulation & Seismic Resilience
- Adaptability to Humid and Hot Climates
o Problem: Perennially high temperatures and humidity in Southeast Asia (average annual temperature 28-35°C, humidity >80%) accelerate equipment aging.
o Solutions:- Replace porcelain bushings with silicone rubber composite bushings for UV & salt spray corrosion resistance.
- Fill interior with hydrophobic gel to block moisture intrusion paths (complies with IEC 60068 Damp Heat Test standards).
- IP68-rated enclosure + built-in humidity sensors (linked to station SCADA for early warnings).
- Earthquake and Typhoon Protection
o Case Study: Typhoon-induced loss rate in Philippine substations reached 17% .
o Technical Design:- 3D seismic-resistant structure: Validated via ANSYS simulation to withstand magnitude-9 earthquakes (modified from Philippine Luzon Island scale).
- Aerodynamic base: Reduces wind load by 40% (verified by 50m/s wind speed testing).
- Space-Saving Compact Installation

Core Technical Parameters
(Compliance with mainstream SE Asian grid standards)
- Voltage Class: 66kV~230kV (aligned with Thailand EGAT / Vietnam EVN grid frameworks)
- Accuracy Class:
- Metering: 0.2S (meets Malaysia TNB billing requirements)
- Protection: 5P20/10P20 (adapts to Indonesian archipelago differential protection scenarios)
- Temperature Rise: ≤65K at 55°C ambient temperature (exceeds IEEE C57.13 standard)
- Partial Discharge: <5pC (stable in humid-hot environments)
Commercialization Strategy
- Localized Production for Cost Reduction
o SKD assembly plants in Vietnam’s Haiphong/Thailand’s Chonburi → 22% tariff reduction.
o Material cost optimization: Myanmar diatomite-based epoxy resin (↓0.01% dissipation factor). - Full Lifecycle Services
- Flagship Project Promotion
o Cambodia 230kV backbone grid upgrade: Replaced 27 conventional transformers → $190K annual maintenance cost savings.
o Singapore Jurong Island digital substation: Integrated CIT + MU solution → reduced latency by 0.2ms.
