20 Dry-Type Transformers + 10 Box-Type Substations for an International Airport in Qatar
Project Overview
HBTP supplied 20 units of SCB13-1600kVA dry-type transformers and 10 box-type substations for the expansion of an international airport in Doha, Qatar. The expansion increases the airport's capacity to over 60 million passengers annually.
Project Background
International airports are critical infrastructure requiring maximum power reliability for runway lighting, terminal systems, baggage handling, and air traffic control. This expansion project demanded robust power distribution for Qatar's extreme desert climate.
Customer Requirements
Requirements included: 1600kVA dry-type transformers, 10kV/0.4kV ratio, F1 fire resistance, 50°C ambient rating, low noise for terminal areas, box-type substations with integrated cooling, and compliance with IEC and Qatari standards.
Our Solution
HBTP supplied a complete power distribution solution including dry-type transformers for indoor terminal areas and box-type substations for outdoor airfield applications. The box-type substations feature integrated air conditioning to maintain optimal operating temperature in the desert heat.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | SCB13-1600/10 |
| Capacity | 1600 kVA |
| Voltage Ratio | 10 / 0.4 kV |
| Ambient Rating | 50°C |
| Substations | 10x Box-Type (AC) |
| Noise | ≤ 58 dB(A) |
Quality & Testing
All units passed high-temperature testing at 50°C ambient. The box-type substations underwent thermal performance verification to ensure adequate cooling under extreme conditions.
Delivery & Installation
Equipment was delivered in phased shipments to align with the airport's expansion timeline. HBTP provided 24/7 on-site support during the critical commissioning phase before airport opening.
Project Outcomes
The airport expansion opened on schedule with full electrical certification. The integrated power distribution solution has been recognized for its reliability in extreme operating conditions.
