Grid Connection
Network Studies and Grid Connection for Solar Farms,Generators and Major Loads
Connection of solar Farms,generators and major loads is a concern for the utility as it can upset their network.We can take your project from concept to all the way up to final connection.We can do all the necessary steps from initial feasibility studies, negotiations and documentation with the NSP along with all the associated network studies ,designs and approvals mandated for grid connection of your project. Our inhouse team of Engineers can perform all the necessary Network Studies. We have completed a range of projects ranging from simple solar farms to complex grid connection projects which involved integrating solar PV as well as gas generators along with the site loads for clients like cotton gins, abattoirs etc.
Feasibility Studies
We can help you with site selection and feasibility studies for your next solar farm project. We can provide reports detailing all possible options with costs to help you make an informed decision.We have access to utility network data which we can use with our network design experience to identify any obvious network augmentation or upgrades that could affect the project well before the project progresses to Network Studies and Connection stages.
Network Studies
Our inhouse team of Engineers can complete all necessary Network Studies like ,
Steady State and Load Flow Studies
Protection Studies
Power Quality Studies
FI injection Studies
PSCAD Dynamic Studies
Earthing Studies
We use industry leading software’s like Digisilent Powerfactory and PSCAD to perform the studies.Our inhouse capability to do Network Designs and Level 3 ASP /Detailed Designs gives us complete control on the process .We are able to propose the best ,practical, acceptable and economically feasible solution when it comes to the network augmentations very early in the process well before the actual designs . This avoids any revisiting to studies during the design stages thereby saving a lot of time and hence money for the project.We will help you determine the optimum operating configuration for your plant and compare any alternatives.
Detailed Designs
Our inhouse team of Engineers can complete all necessary designs including Level 3 ASP designs,Overhead line designs upto 132 kV as well all associated HV designs and LV designs.We can provide final “for construction” drawings for all Electrical aspects of your project including.
- Level 3 ASP /Network Designs
- Overhead line designs up to 132 kV
- Site HV Designs
- LV Designs
- Earthing Designs
- Protection Designs
- Comm’s and SCADA Designs
- DC Designs
We have access to latest versions of software’s like Digisilent Powerfactory, PSCAD, PLS CADD, NEARA, Power CAD, Elek Safe Grid etc.. and the latest version of AutoCAD to perform the above designs.
Connection Documentation and Negotiation
We can take care of all associated negotiation and connection documentations with the utility.We can negotiate the best and economical solution for your project instead of blindly accepting what is being recommended by the utility.We can prepare, review and get approved all connection documentation including,
- Preliminary and Detailed Enquiries
- Option to Proceed (OTP)
- Offer to connect
- CAS(Connection Access Standard)
- ISMP(Site Installation Safety Management Plan)
- Operating Protocols
- Connection Agreements
- Commissioning Plans
- Energisation Plans
