KEGOC is constantly introducing advanced technologies to ensure the reliability of electricity supply against the backdrop of steady growth of electricity consumption in Kazakhstan.
The hazards of potential accidents are increasing as power plants wear out. To avoid such circumstances, KEGOC improves power grid dependability through the deployment of advanced emergency control systems, in addition to developing new transmission lines and scheduled facility modernization. In terms of technological equipment, the Company is among the world's leading power grid companies.
The Company implemented a centralised emergency control system (CECS). The system ensures the reliability of the national grid in real time and minimises consumer outages in case of power grid disturbances.
In addition, an emergency control system (WACS) based on synchrophasor measurements of electric mode parameters was implemented. The system allows for the rapid collection of information on electric mode parameters from locations that are hundreds of kilometres apart. The system processes all data and detects dangers early on. The project enables monitoring of the country's complete energy grid.
In addition, KEGOC has automated frequency and power control (FPC) system that balances the energy system automatically by controlling the load of the power plants connected to it. The technology maintains power quality and reliability of Kazakhstan's power plants. Currently Bukhtarma HPP, Shulbinsk HPP, Ust-Kamenogorsk HPP, Moynak HPP, Ekibastuz GRES-1 are connected to the system. Aksu GRES (EEC JSC) will be connected in the nearest time, and Topar GRES (Karaganda SDPP-2) will be connected in the future.
The applied technologies have frequently proven to be highly efficient. KEGOC's innovative systems prevented a severe accident in western Kazakhstan caused by a power unit failure at MAEC-Kazatomprom LLP's thermal power plant, which resulted in overloading of the 220 kV Uralsk - Atyrau - Mangistau 220 kV transit.
As a system operator of the electric power system of Kazakhstan, KEGOC will continue systematic work to implement advanced systems to ensure the reliability of electricity supply to consumers.
