Project - Electricity High Voltage

Success Story for the Medium Voltage Department at Pairi Daiza

Pairi Daiza, the superb animal park in the Walloon region of Picardy, voted best zoo in Europe, has entrusted Technord with the adaptation of its medium voltage power supplies.

Customer Challenge

Its 5MVA connection was insufficient to allow for the development of the park and the installation of more than 60,000 photovoltaic panels, so a new 19MVA connection became necessary. The park also wanted to have a real time vision of its electrical consumption and monitoring of its installations.

Solution proposed by Technord

Technord and its partner Schneider implemented a comprehensive and innovative solution:

  • Installation of a Medium Voltage substation directly connected from a GRD substation to supply the park and install the photovoltaic panels, integrating a Power Monitoring solution and an energy management solution,
  • Installation of 25 Schneider Medium Voltage cells of the PIX type, 6 Schneider Medium Voltage cells of the SM6 type, TGBT and transformers,
  • Integration of an Ecostruxure Power Monitoring Expert solution,
  • Integration of an Ecostruxure Power SCADA Operation solution

Benefit to the customer

The improvements made to the park’s electrical installations now allow it to:

  • Continue its development
  • Secure its supply (increased levels of redundancy)
  • Monitor the status of its facilities in real time
  • Visualize its electricity consumption and production

Eventually, the solutions implemented by Technord and its partner will allow the customer to manage emergency scenarios in a predictive and curative manner without the need for on-site intervention.
