Mobile Substations are of great importance for Türkiye's energy supply security. It can quickly meet the energy requirement in the region in case of a natural disaster or maintenance-failure of the SubStations in the operation. There are 12 mobile Substations in our company.Long processes are required to establish fixed Substations in the energy sector. In addition, with the migration waves, rapid increases can occur in energy requirement. Mobile Substations are portable substations with 154 / 33.6 kV 50 MVA power and capable of meeting the energy requirement of a medium-sized city. The mobile SubStations that are put into service weigh 150 tons and are 27 meters long. They are transported by a special trailer with high maneuverability.These Substations become ready for service in a few days where additional power is needed.

With the Mobile Substations, we meet the energy requirement quickly when additional power requirements arise in the energy transmission system.

Live maintenance operations with helicopter are carried out in high-voltage lines without interrupting the power by using a method that is applied for the first time in Türkiye in 2019. First of all, energy transmission lines are aerial surveyed by helicopter. At the specified points, each of the insulators, which are polluted over time due to dust, sand, chemical wastes, pesticides, sea salt, and which may cause malfunctions, are cleaned with purified water sprayed from the helicopter in about two minutes.On the other hand, in live maintenance activities with helicopters, energy transmission lines, which are difficult to access from the ground, are provided by aerial access and malfunctions are eliminated or periodic maintenance works are carried out. The works are carried out by our technicians in the basket with isolated ropes hanging from the helicopter, with live maintenance method without de-energizing the line.

Helikopterli Bakım Site

Thanks to live maintenance with helicopter, we carry out maintenance activities in the areas that are difficult to reach, meters above the ground without switching off the energy of the system.

Live Maintenance with Helicopter

We have been providing energy security of supply of the region by connecting Europe and Asia under the sea at the Dardanelles Strait since we launched first high-voltage submarine cabling project of Türkiye in 2015.The first project put into service, is 3.9 km long Lapseki 1 - Sütlüce 1 submarine cable and it is the first jointless project in the world at 400 kV at this length. After this project, we implemented the second submarine cable project with 4.1 km long Lapseki 2 - Sütlüce 2 line in 1 km south.The connection consists of a 4-circuit double-circuit alternating current (AC) energy transmission system, each with a capacity of 1000 MW between Lapseki substation on the Asian side and Sütlüce substation on the European side.

We work continuously with our live maintenance teams in our energy transmission lines and Substations to ensure uninterrupted and quality electrical energy, minimize interruptions and reduce energy and production losses.We perform these live maintenance applications in two ways: The first one is the distance working method. Here, our operators carry out maintenance work with isolated rods (an insulating apparatus with a hook end used for safety during maneuver) and equipment connected to these rods, taking into account the distances calculated and to be complied with before the operation. The second one is the method of working on potential.In this method, our operators perform the work depending on certain rules and distances, by entering into the same potential with the system potential in three different ways. Vehicles such as positioning chair, ladder and insulated tower, isolated crane are used to provide the operator the same potential with the system potential. With our investments in Research &amp; Development and innovation, we provide saving of both source and time, transmit Türkiye's energy 24/7 all over our country.

Canlı Bakım | TEİAŞ

We continue our live maintenance activities, which we started to implement in 2014, by expanding all over our country.
