Reference excerpt

The Mutundwe–Entebbe High Voltage Power Line is a high voltage electricity power line, connecting the high voltage substation in the Kampala suburb of Mutundwe to another high voltage substation in the city of Entebbe, in the Central Region of Uganda.

Location The 132 kilo Volt power line starts at the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL) 132kV substation at Mutundwe, in Rubaga Division, in the southwestern part of Kampala. From there it travels southwards and slightly westwards, following the direction of the Kampala-Entebbe Expressway, but passing west of the expressway, through Kajjansi and Akright City, to end in Entebbe, a distance of approximately 36 kilometres (22 mi).

Overview Entebbe is a growing city, with a population estimated at 102,600, as of July 2020. At that time, the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS), calculated the average population growth rate of the city at 6.7 percent annually, between 2014 and 2020. In addition, the city is home to key national installations, including State House Entebbe and Entebbe International Airport. UETCL has decided to construct a new power line to deliver stable power to the Entebbe metropolis, to meet the energy needs of current and future residents and industry. Detailed work plans include the construction of a "double circuit 132 kV transmission line between the Mutundwe substation in Kampala and Entebbe." Work includes the extension of the existing 132/33/11 kV Mutundwe substation. In addition, a brand new outdoor 132/33 kV substation will be built in Entebbe, with 33kV indoor switchgear.

Construction The work on this power transmission line was scheduled to begin in 2014. Completion was initially planned for 2017. However construction was still in progress, as of 2021. Gopa-Intec, a German engineering firm was selected as Consultant, to review the feasibility study done in 2011 and revise designs, and route of power line. A three-week training course was arranged at Bad Homburg, Germany for the Owner's Engineering Team. This project received partial funding from Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Mutundwe–Entebbe High Voltage Power Line

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Mutundwe–Entebbe 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 Mutundwe–Entebbe 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 Mutundwe–Entebbe 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 Mutundwe–Entebbe High Voltage Power Line

In research: Mutundwe–Entebbe 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 Mutundwe–Entebbe 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: Mutundwe–Entebbe 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 Mutundwe–Entebbe 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.
