Analysis of Electrical Substation Installation In a Flood Prone Environment

A generalized analysis of electrical installations in a flood prone city was carried out. Much attention was paid to both security of the equipment and the safety of the personnel. The range of voltage envisaged here was 33/11KV for a non-specific city. The objective was thinned down to a substation located in a city suddenly exposed to flooding due to urbanization and bad environmental sanitation. The study provided a guide on the management of substation in a flood risk zone considering the financial constraint of relocation. A few managerial measures necessary for the sustenance of such installation were discussed. The result of the study will facilitate availability of power during flooding caused by rain or tidal waves.
