System
operator National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) continues to find ways
to uphold the integrity of the grid.
At
the start of every year, NGCP assesses the efficiency of its operational
processes and reviews its technical performance.
Through
the Annual Grid Operations Mode Analysis (AGOMA) Conference, NGCP polishes its
operations by evaluating the impact of internal factors, such as new and
ongoing transmission projects, and external factors, like the El Niño, higher
power demand, and the national elections, on the grid’s performance.
NGCP,
through the AGOMA, also ensures contingency preparedness for the Luzon, Visayas,
and Mindanao grids through various workshops and discussions on addressing
crucial issues such as low voltage or supply deficiency.
“NGCP
emphasizes the importance of stable power even more this year. This internal
coordination greatly impacts the grid’s performance and ensures that we are
prepared in terms of power dispatching and improving grid security,” said NGCP.
“Each
grid has its own nuances, which is further highlighted by the unique challenges
each grid encounters. Our goal is to keep the grid intact and secure despite
all these challenges,” stated NGCP.
NGCP
is a privately owned corporation in charge of operating, maintaining, and
developing the country’s power grid. It transmits high-voltage electricity
through “power superhighways” that include the interconnected system of
transmission lines, towers, substations, and related assets.
The
consortium, which holds the 25-year concession contract to operate the
country’s power transmission network, is comprised of Monte Oro Grid Resources
Corp. led by Henry Sy Jr., Calaca High Power Corp. led by Robert Coyiuto Jr.,
and the State Grid Corp. of China as technical partner. PNA
