Electrical and evacuation
Internal collection network, pooling substation, transmission line and utility interface.
Through an internal collection network linking each turbine to a pooling substation, then a transmission line to the connection point. Because turbines are spread over a wide area, the internal network is longer and a larger share of cost than in a solar plant.
What this includes
- Internal collection network design and laying
- Pooling substation construction
- Transmission line and right of way
- Metering and protection to utility specification
- SCADA and plant control integration
- Testing, charging and synchronisation
- What you receiveOutput
- Farm electrically complete and charged
- When you need itTiming
- In parallel with erection.
Underestimating internal cable length. On a spread out site it is a much larger cost line than in solar and is often costed from a solar template.
