Substation Addition to Existing Switching Station
•
Lloydminster Switching station was originally a 230kV/138kV switching station with no distribution. This project would add a 138kV/25kV transformer, and distribution bays. The SCADA design at Lloydminster is a one-of as a result of being the prototype deployment of the…

ABB Static Voltage Compensator Unit 501 & 502
•
This project was part of an ongoing effort to stabilize the Northern grid. One ABB Static Voltage Compensators (SVC) was already installed in a previous project. The current scope included installing two more SVCs

130km Fiber Optic Ploughing and Splicing – Wolverine to Bankend
•
SaskPower started installing fiber optics ~20 years before this project, prioritizing connecting as many switching stations as possible. In an effort to maintain secure, 99.99% reliable networks, we were now adding geographic redundancy.

Fiber Optic Relocation for Highway Twinning
•
Ministry of Highways was twinning the highway from Saskatoon to Clavet, necessitating the relocation of a SaskPower fiber optic cable. To minimize disruption, the repair was planned for the weekend, with two splicing crews working simultaneously.

Root Cause Fix for Beckwith AVR Failures Caused by GPR
•
Approximately once a year, four regulators north of Meadow Lake experienced failures in the Beckwith automatic voltage regulator (AVR). Due to the extremely sandy soil, O&M staff suspected that these failures were caused by Ground Potential Rise (GPR) affecting the…

Prototype Development of SaskPower Distribution SCADA
•
Traditionally SaskPower’s substations were not connected to a centralized grid control center, but that was rapidly changing with SmartGrid. The goal of the project was to develop a scalable configuration template for hundreds of substations.

Sub-Arctic Terrestrial Fiber Optics Solution for Canadian Shield
•
Projects in the Sub-Arctic Canadian Shield, accessible only by airplane and barge, are always challenging—especially when you can’t plough fiber into solid rock, and aging overhead structures can’t support it either. SaskPower implemented an innovative solution by laying fiber with…

Golden Lake Substation – Phase 1 & 2
•
To meet an aggressive schedule, Phase 1 of the Golden Lake switching station involved building a greenfield substation with a single 230kV-25kV transformer and three secondary feeders. TeleControl was the only SaskPower group involved during the construction phase, our scope…

130km Fiber Optic Install – Critical Path to Golden Lake Success
•
Phase 1 of Golden Lake Substation was being constructed on an aggressive schedule, and TeleControl was positioned to materialize a massive opportunity to put the project ahead of schedule! If we could plough 130km of fiber optics, and make changes…

ABB 25kV Cap bank & Master Controller
•
As part of SaskPower’s ongoing effort to stabilize the Northern grid, which previously included the installation of three ABB Static Voltage Compensators (SVC), this project added a four-bay capacitor bank, a master controller, and expanded the control building to accommodate…
