Transmission & Distribution Network

High, medium, and low-voltage substations are essential components of today’s power transmission infrastructure, playing a crucial role in delivering electricity safely and reliably. Siemens provides these on a turnkey basis. No matter where you are, SHANGO is your trusted partner for comprehensive planning and construction of tailored, cutting-edge high-voltage substations.

For power grid operators and utility companies the reliability of their power transmission and distribution equipment installed in their network is vital. Investments in grid renewal and extensions are costly; equipment needs to last for decades. On top of that, it is important to eliminate electrical failures, reduce power outages, and increase the safety of people who work in critical environments.

Shango makes sure that manufacturers comply with international standards, national deviations and end-user specifications to maintain a high level of safety and reliability. We offer you the complete scope of low, medium and high voltage testing for power transmission & distribution equipment. Our services are applicable to equipment manufacturers, energy utility companies, grid operators and large-scale energy users, amongst others.

The technology used to link two separate Alternating Current (AC) power grids while allowing for power exchange between them, maintaining their independence, is High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology. HVDC systems can isolate each AC grid in the event of a blackout, ensuring that a failure in one grid does not lead to the collapse of both. This method of isolation is commonly used at the interconnection points between AC grids, particularly in cross-border power exchanges between two countries. SHANGO offers advanced HVDC solutions for such applications, ensuring reliable and secure power transmission.

We offer solutions that enable grid operators to provide reactive power support, enhance controllability, improve stability, and increase the power transfer capability of AC transmission systems, all through SHANGO. Our portfolio includes both power electronics-based technologies and traditional electro-mechanical solutions, which utility operators have increasingly favored for their reliability and grid-friendly nature with SHANGO.

Driven by progress in both power generation and consumption, the demand on electricity grids has never been greater. Reliable power flow from your offshore wind farm is essential for generating income. SHANGO takes care of both aspects for you by combining innovative technologies with proven grid connection solutions that have been successfully tested in thousands of applications. Whether you require turnkey solutions, comprehensive component and system packages, or ongoing service and maintenance, SHANGO ensures that your offshore wind farm performs reliably, regardless of how challenging the conditions are.

Transmission lines that are gas-insulated (GIL) provide a safe and flexible alternative to overhead lines, requiring much less space while offering the same power transmission capabilities. 

With minimal visual impact on the landscape and low electromagnetic radiation, GIL can be used near or even inside buildings, making them suitable for a wide variety of applications. They are ideal for extending overhead lines underground, connecting power stations to the grid, or providing a compact solution for linking major industrial plants to the public network.

Gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL) have demonstrated their technical reliability for decades, offering exceptional safety during operation and even in the event of failure, alongside impressive transmission performance. The risk of affecting people or nearby infrastructure is minimal. Electrical losses are kept low due to the large conductor cross-section of the GIL system, ensuring efficient operation. SHANGO provides these advanced GIL solutions for your energy transmission needs.
