Duke Energy

The Duke Energy Kennel Substation project was being done to increase reliability and add new circuits to feed another station.  Commonwealth assisted Duke Energy with the protection and control design. The design was for greenfield station that included a new six-breaker 69kV ring bus with four-line positions, a spare bus, and a distribution transformer with two feeder circuits. The design also included a 24’ x 55’ control building to contain the station battery system, relays and controls, and SCADA equipment. The control building was sized for a future ultimate station configuration that would expand the ring bus to include ten 69kV breakers and three distribution transformers. 

The control building was sized for a future ultimate station configuration that would expand the ring bus to include ten 69kV breakers and three distribution transformers. Updates were also made to change the remote end station’s line numbers and replace the line relaying to coordinate with the line relays at the new Kennel Substation. The design was completed in 2023 and was in service in Q1 of 2024.
