110 kV substations as scalable grid-connection solution (DE)

19 Nov 2026
Stage Three
110 kV substations are becoming increasingly important as scalable grid connection solutions in response to the growing number of photovoltaic (PV), battery energy storage system (BESS) and industrial projects. This presentation focuses on a comprehensive EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) approach, covering everything from in-house engineering and construction through to electrical installation. Reflecting the key themes of Power Transmission & Distribution Technology Expo 2026, the presentation will examine standardised 110 kV substation concepts, short project delivery times, and grid stability and protection strategies. It will demonstrate how turnkey solutions can accelerate the integration of renewable energy while efficiently meeting the requirements of distribution system operators (DSOs) and large industrial electricity consumers. The presentation will also highlight the added value of a conceptual, holistic planning approach compared with traditional tendering processes based on rigid technical specifications. By optimising systems at an early stage of project development, more efficient, flexible and future-proof solutions can be achieved. For customers, this translates into shorter project delivery times, optimised capital expenditure (CAPEX) and greater adaptability to evolving grid requirements, particularly in the context of renewable energy integration and energy storage solutions.
