Bleiswijk

Bleiswijk high-voltage substation is set to become the main link between the northern and southern ring of the new 380-kV connection serving the Randstad region. This station links up three major electricity highways. The current substation in Bleiswijk, together with the high-voltage substation near Krimpen aan den IJssel, is now connected to the ring-shaped national high-voltage grid managed by TenneT. This is the first time that a HIS (Hybrid system, or Highly Integrated Switchgear) of this magnitude is built in the Netherlands. This makes the substation a vital link in the Randstad region, in both senses of the word. Hybrid stations are modern stations that are easy to construct and which can be taken into service in the short term. They are compact, offer a long lifespan and are highly reliable, vital properties in a strong region such as the Randstad.
