Reference excerpt

The Mirama–Kikagati–Nsongezi High Voltage Power Line is a planned high voltage electricity power line, connecting the high voltage substation at Mirama Hills, in the Western Region of Uganda, to another high voltage substation at Kikagati Hydroelectric Power Station and continues to end at Nshungyezi Hydropower Station.

Location The 132 kilo Volt power line starts at the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL) 132kV substation at Mirama Hills, Ntungamo District, in Uganda's Western Region. The power line travels in a general easterly direction to Kikagati Hydroelectric Power Station, in Kikagati, Isingiro District, a road distance of approximately 36 kilometres (22 mi). From there, the power line takes a general northeasterly direction to end at Nshungyezi Hydroelectric Power Station, a distance of about 13 kilometres (8 mi), as the crow flies, but is approximately 31 kilometres (19 mi) by road from Kikagati. Due to the steep terrain, the power line does not always follow the winding road. The line measures only 38 kilometres (24 mi), from Mirama Hills to Nshungyezi.

Overview The power line is being developed to evacuate the 16 megawatts of electricity generated at Kikagati Hydroelectric Power Station and the 39 megawatts generated at Nshungyezi Power Station and transmit it to Mirama Hills, for integration into Uganda's national electricity grid.

Associated power infrastructure As of August 2020, Kikagati Power Station is under construction at a contract price of US$88 million and an anticipated completion date of 2021. The project received US$12.3 million partial funding from the Uganda GET Fit Program. Nshungyezi Power Station is a proposed 39 megawatts hydroelectric power station planned on the Kagera River, approximately 13 kilometres (8 mi), downstream of Kikagati Power Station. The development rights are owned by Maji Power Limited, a subsidiary of Berkeley Energy.

Cost and construction The power line and associated infrastructure developments are budgeted at US$33.4 million. As of August 2020, construction has not started. It was anticipated that by 2022, the power line would be in operation. Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited will own and operate the completed power transmission line. The project received partial funding from the government of Norway.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Mirama–Kikagati–Nsongezi High Voltage Power Line

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Mirama–Kikagati–Nsongezi High Voltage Power Line claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Mirama–Kikagati–Nsongezi High Voltage Power Line before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Mirama–Kikagati–Nsongezi High Voltage Power Line ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Mirama–Kikagati–Nsongezi High Voltage Power Line

In research: Mirama–Kikagati–Nsongezi High Voltage Power Line appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Mirama–Kikagati–Nsongezi High Voltage Power Line in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Mirama–Kikagati–Nsongezi High Voltage Power Line is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Energy in Uganda, Energy infrastructure in Africa, High-voltage transmission lines in Uganda, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Mirama–Kikagati–Nsongezi High Voltage Power Line outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
