Denso, a leading supplier of automotive electronics, is expanding their Tennessee plant in 2007. BWSC is designing the new electric power substation for the expansion under a design-build project with Miller Electrical Contractors, Inc. The air-insulated, outdoor substation will use metalclad switchgear to distribute power to the facility from the TVA transmission tap line (also included in BWSC design scope). The new substation will apply arc-flash relay systems and microprocessor relay platforms to provide protection and control interface to the SCADA system.
