3. Plan for electricity source development

3.1. Viewpoints and guidelines for electricity source development

Development of electricity sources in Con Dao district must comply with the Decision No. 1518/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister dated September 5, 2011 on approving adjustments to the general development plan of Con Dao district, Ba Ria - Vung Tau province by 2030.

For the period 2015-2020, develop diesel power sources, LNG thermopower sources as well as renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar energy, in order to ensure the sufficient amount of power are supplied in Con Dao district in the upcoming time, the urban aesthetics is preserved, the environment is kept clean, the tourism in Con Dao district is developed, and the national defense and security are maintained.

When renewable energy, LNG thermopower sources are put to use and serve as supplementary sources supplied to Con Dao district, the diesel power generation and base-load capacity shall be reduced to maintain the system stability, cut expenses and extend the duration of investment in supplementary diesel machinery and provide for the power source system used for national security and defence purposes in Con Dao district.

Encourage projects for investment in development of renewable energy sources which are clean energy sources, and ensure that the electricity source will meet the stable quality, is competitive and highly efficient in order to gradually restrict traditional diesel power source supplied to Con Dao district; concurrently, set up the favorable management and investment mechanism to maintain and develop power generation sources in the district.    

4. Plan for electrical grid development

4.1. Viewpoints and standards for electrical grid development design

Equipment to be installed on low and medium voltage grids shall be considered and selected on the basis that they will meet each electrical load requirement during and after the planning period and operate for the period of at least 10 years.

a) Medium voltage grid:

- Distributed voltage level: 22 kV.

- Electrical grid topology: medium voltage grids shall be designed in an open loop operation form.  Loop circuits are powered by two sources or double sectionalized bus bars in power stations. Major transmission lines are designed to convey 60-70% of power supply capacity as backup transmission lines to meet other electrical load requirements in case of emergency.  

- Wire and cable section:

+ Underground cables are XLPE dry insulated ones with the section of 240mm² for major transmission lines, ≥ 95 mm² for main transmission branches and ≥ 50 mm² for transmission sub-branches. Neutral wires are made from underground cable-like fibers with copper layers or attached by one neutral wire running outside;

+ Overhead transmission line: Use electrical wires ACKP ≥ 185 mm² or coated copper wires CVX ≥ 185 mm² for major transmission lines; wire section ACKP ≥ 95 mm², or coated copper wires CVX ≥ 95 mm² for main transmission branches and wire section ACKP ≥ 70 mm² or coated copper wires CVX ≥ 50 mm² for transmission sub-branches.

- Electric poles: Mainly use reinforced concrete poles 14m, 16m, 18m and 20m to meet bearing and sag requirements for high-voltage power grids in accordance with applicable regulations; the span between two electric poles ranges from 55m to 60m.

- Bars: Use bars made from composite or zinc plated steel materials according to the required standard.

- Insulators: Use 24kV or 35 kV insulators preventing sea salt contamination according to the required standards.

b) Distribution transformer stations

- Voltage ratio: 22/0.4 kV (three phase) or 12.7/0.22 kV (single phase).

- Installation types:

+ Outdoors, indoors or inside compact cabinets;

+ Voltage transformer having the capacity equal to or less than 560kVA, and mounted on electric poles or placed on frameworks.    Higher capacity transformers shall be placed on outdoor concrete platforms (platform-type transformer stations), indoor concrete platforms (area-type transformer stations) or inside compact cabinets (compact/ kiosk-type transformer stations).

- Voltage transformer range shall meet current standards, including:

+ In central areas, new urban zones, major residential areas, or locations providing electrical loads for industrial, small industrial and handicraft production, using three-phase transformers with the capacity range from 160 - 630kVA;

+ In other remaining regions, using single-phase three-phase transformers with the capacity range from 50 - 250kVA;

+ Customers’ dedicated transformer station with specifically calculated coefficient ≥ 65% of the rated capacity. 

c) Low-voltage grids

- Design 220/380V three-phase four-wire system having directly grounded neutral conductors. Power supply diameter ≤ 800m, depending on the high or low electrical load density. In central areas, transmission lines shall be placed underground to protect urban aesthetics.

- Conductor section: ≥ 70mm² for major transmission lines; ≥ 50mm² for transmission branches; conductor section must be relevant to the electrical load density of each region and conform to the voltage loss requirement which is less than 5%.

d) Transmission sub-branches and electricity meters installed at resident’s homes

- Use covered twisted copper wire and copper – aluminum clamps connected to low-voltage transmission line with proper conductor section. The average length of conductor running to resident's homes is approximately 40m. 

- Use covered Muller pair cables connected to electricity meters. Use composite box-type electricity meters placed indoors or at positions which are aesthetically pleasing and convenient for operation and control.
