  • Project by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Feasibility Study on Exporting High-Quality Energy Infrastructure in 2019
    Project by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Feasibility Study on Exporting High-Quality Energy Infrastructure in 2019 Feasibility Study on Optimizing Maintenance and Replacement Planning for Gas Insulated Switchgears at Existing Kuwait Substations (Life Extension of Aging GIS Project) Final Report February 2020 Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. Abstract Many substations with Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) were constructed in Kuwait in the second half of the 1970s and in the 1980s. The age of these many GISs is exceeding their design life (expected life), and the time has come to plan their replacement. If GIS is replaced at the fixed age such as design life, many GISs will be replaced at the same timing, and the utility will face issue of lots of investment, shutdown restriction in the power network, and large number of construction works. On the other hand, on the background that GIS was introduced in the 1960s and that many GISs are aging highly in Japan, utilities and manufacturers have been jointly carrying out deterioration investigations on aging GISs, determining GIS replacement timing, studying and doing maintenance measures, and realizing GIS operation exceeding design life. These activities are “GIS life extension”. On the background of dealing large amount of construction works and shutdown restriction in the power network, it is necessary to make average of the number of GIS replacement and to implement the replacement. Therefore, each Japanese utility has been prioritizing GIS replacement and studying life extension. In this study, utilizing Japanese knowledge, the “Feasibility Study on Optimizing Maintenance and Replacement Plan for Gas Insulated Switchgears at Existing Kuwait Substations” has been implemented in order to solve the issue on aging GIS in Kuwait.
