AltaLink Abee Pump Substation Expansion and Transformer Upgrade
Project
Expanded and upgraded AltaLink’s Abee Pump Substation with a new 25 MVA transformer, HV breaker replacement, and full protection and SCADA commissioning.
- Location
- Abee, AB
- Sector
- Transmission & Distribution
From challenge to
completed project
The Abee Pump Substation needed more capacity for current and future load, and a station built for the long haul. Spark Power delivered a carefully sequenced expansion, adding transformer capacity, replacing high-voltage equipment, and modernizing protection and control, then commissioned the full station to AltaLink specifications.
How we
solved it
- Substation expansion and major equipment replacement
- Installation of new power transformer (138/4.16kV, up to 25 MVA) and associated HV switching equipment
- HV breaker replacement and bus work modifications
- CTs, PTs, station service transformer, and grounding system upgrades
- Protection and control system installation, testing, and commissioning
- SCADA system upgrades for enhanced monitoring and control
- Site grading and integration of new substation assets
The metrics
that matter
- Increased substation capacity and operational flexibility. New 25 MVA transformer provides expanded capacity to support current and future load requirements.
- Improved protection, control, and system visibility. Upgraded P&C systems and SCADA enhancements strengthen fault response and operational awareness.
- Modernized infrastructure supporting long-term reliability. Full equipment replacement program positions the station for long-term performance and reduced maintenance burden.
- All systems commissioned to AltaLink specifications. Protection relay and acceptance testing were completed before handover.
