๐ Real Project Case
Industrial Plant Power Design: 250 MW Steel Mill Substation Upgrade
A 250 MW integrated steel mill in Gary, Indiana, required a complete substation upgrade to support new electric arc furnace (EAF) loads and expanded rolling mill operations. The project involved replacing aging 138 kV GIS switchgear and upgrading the 138/13.8 kV main step-down transformer, necessitating full re-engineering of medium-voltage (13.8 kV) feeder cables from the substation to six critical process buildings.
Challenge: Existing 13.8 kV copper cables were undersized and thermally overloaded during peak EAF cycling (dut...
