1. INTRODUCTION
The Hongkong Electric Co., Ltd. (HEC) generates
electricity at Lamma Power Station on Lamma Island and
transmits the electricity from Lamma Island to various parts
of Ap Lei Chau Island and Hong Kong Island where the
load centres reside. The voltage levels of the transmission
networks are 275kV and 132kV. At primary zone
substations, i.e. the load centres, the transmission voltage is
stepped down to 11kV or 22kV for feeding the distribution
networks nearby.
Electricity is then distributed from the primary zone sub
stations to over 3,600 distribution substations on Hong
Kong Island, Ap Lei Chau Island and Lamma Island
through the 11 k V a n d 2 2 k V distribution networks.
Although the majority of HECs distribution system is
supplied at 11kV level, it has been HECs intention to
migrate some load from 11kV system to the 22kV system
progressively [5], [6]. In this connection, new zone
substations are designed to distribute electricity at 22kV
level.

Protection Scheme for the HK Electric's New 132kV and 22kV Busbar Configurations
4. CONCLUSION
New 132kV and 22kV busbar configurations with
higher fault tolerant capability are adopted at MRS 132kV
Switching Station and MRS Zone Substation respectively to
render a better supply security. The paper briefly introduces
the protection schemes which are designed to suit the new
busbar configurations as well as to cope with the withstand
capability of the switchgear to IEC62271-203 for 132kV
and IEC62271-100 for 22kV. MRS 132kV Switching
Station was energized successfully in early March 2010
while the commissioning of MRS 275/22kV Zone
Substation is scheduled for August 2010 tentatively. As the
protection schemes at MRS 132kV Switching Station and
275/22kV Zone Substation employ proven protection
principles but with some improvements, it is expected that
the reliability of the protection schemes will increase when
compared with the conventional design at other existing
substations; however, the actual protection performance
will be reviewed after gaining more operating experience in
the coming years.
