Mikułowa substation
The Mikułowa substation is a large switchgear and substation in south-west Poland . It is located at the place of the same name about eleven kilometers southeast of Görlitz . It is operated by the state-owned transmission system operator Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne (PSE).
history
The substation is set up as an open-air system and was built in 1960 as the first Polish 400 kV substation ever to distribute the output of the Turów power plant, which was commissioned in 1962 .
Since 2014, it has been modernized and expanded as an important switching point in the connection of the Polish power grid to Germany and the Czech Republic. In addition to the site, Mikułowa station provides a siding for the delivery of heavy equipment such as power transformers . The proximity to the German and Czech borders simplifies the construction of cross-border high-voltage lines .
Cable routes
The substation is connected to the German network of 50Hertz Transmission at the Hagenwerder substation with two 400 kV lines . Another 400 kV line leads to Wroclaw , a 220 kV line via Cieplice Śląskie-Zdrój to Wałbrzych .
The Turów power plant is directly connected to Mikułowa with a 400 kV and a 220 kV line.
In June 2016, eight phase-shifting transformers were put into operation in Mikułowa in order to be able to precisely control the power flows between the connected networks.
