Firstly, the paper briefly describes the technique for 3-phase
and single-phase power distribution along HV (115-330kV)
transmission lines via the insulated shield wires, energized at
MV (20-34.5kV) from the main HVIMV transformer stations,
using the ground as a MV phase conductor.
A computer program based on phase coordinates is
presented, expressly developed for the analysis of this
unconventional low cost grid based rural electrification
technique, referred to as the "Shield Wire Scheme" (SWS).
The paper then describes the SWSs in operation or under
construction in Ethiopia. The design criteria and the
commissioning results are reportedfor three "Single-Phase
Earth-Return" SWSs, which have been put into operation in
2003. The planning and engineering criteria appliedfor four
"3-Phase" SWSs under construction at the time of writing are
then described. These SWSs will provide electricity to 50
villages and small town, to irrigation pumping stations, to
two large state owned farms, and to tea, coffee and fruit
processing plants employing 7000 workers.
Brief information is given on SWSs in operation, under
construction and planned in other developing countries.
