In March 2021, as part of an urban construction project in Rwanda, Xinghe Group supplied three sets of compact substations. During the design phase, Xinghe engineers put forward reasonable suggestions based on the customer‘s specific application scenarios – ensuring that the equipment would operate with minimal losses. The substations were officially put into use in March 2021.
Rwanda has been investing heavily in modernizing its urban infrastructure, including reliable electricity distribution. For this project, the customer needed compact, outdoor‑ready substations that could be deployed quickly while maintaining high efficiency and low operating costs.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Customer | Rwanda urban construction project |
| Equipment | 3 sets of compact substations |
| Delivery & commissioning | March 2021 |
| Key feature | Loss‑minimized design based on application analysis |
Unlike a standard off‑the‑shelf product, Xinghe worked closely with the customer during the design process to understand:
Based on this analysis, Xinghe proposed customized design adjustments – such as optimizing transformer core material, cooling method, and tap changer settings – to minimize no‑load and load losses under actual operating conditions.
Therefore, the three compact substations achieve lower energy waste compared to standard units, reducing the customer‘s long‑term electricity bills and carbon footprint.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Compact, prefabricated design | Easy transport and fast on‑site installation |
| Loss‑optimized transformers | Lower operating costs, higher energy efficiency |
| Customization based on application | Equipment matched to real load profiles |
| Robust enclosure | Suitable for Rwanda‘s climate (high altitude, tropical) |
| Fully integrated | HV/LV switchgear + transformer in one unit |
✅ The substations were officially put into use in March 2021 and have been operating reliably ever since.
