West Engineering Delivers 30 Relay Protection and Automation Cabinets for Unit 2 of Akkuyu NPP

West Engineering has completed the next stage of equipment delivery for Unit 2 of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant in Türkiye, shipping 30 relay protection and automation cabinets to the project site. The equipment will be used for the protection, monitoring, and control of critical electrical components of the power unit.

The delivered equipment includes AZ-PZ cabinets for generating analog and discrete information, power supply unit protection device cabinets, power unit measurement device cabinets, synchronizing relay cabinets, generator switch control cabinets, electrical process recording cabinets, and control current distribution cabinets, among others.

According to reports, this batch of nuclear facility equipment has been designed with high safety margins and fault tolerance in mind. The supplied relay protection and automation systems comply with relevant international standards, with a safety class of 3H/N, meeting the NP-001-15 standard; the quality assurance category is QA3, and the equipment has undergone multi-stage quality control from material and component selection to acceptance testing.

This batch of equipment can also be integrated into the Electrical Equipment Monitoring and Control System (EEMCS) independently developed by West Engineering. Through a unified platform, the relevant systems can achieve coordinated operation of protection, control, and measurement devices, centrally collect and process technical information, and simplify equipment operation and maintenance processes. At the same time, integrated integration helps reduce the number of interface solutions between different subsystems, improving the overall reliability of the electrical section of the power unit.

This delivery is part of the equipment supply contract for all four units of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant. Previously, West Engineering had delivered a similar set of equipment to Unit 1 of the project, also comprising 30 relay protection and automation cabinets.
