Grid Connection Studies

Involves the following activities;
  1. Review of possible grid connection points for the generation plant taking into account existing and planned electrical network infrastructure.

  2. Development of representative simulation models for each developed integration option utilizing well-known simulation software e.g PSS/E, Digsilent Powerfactory, ETAP etc.

  3. Load flow analysis using the developed simulation models to examine voltage profiles, line thermal loadings and project operation under normal and N-1 contingency conditions with regard to the available standards, regulations and best operation practices.

  4. Short circuit fault level analysis in order to determine the impact of the proposed power plant on the existing network switchgears and aid in interconnection equipment design.

  5. Voltage step/variation and flicker assessment against limits provided by the available standards, regulations and best operation practices.

  6. Recommendation of the technically feasible and best interconnection scheme, and if necessary the required network reinforcement to ensure effective interconnection of the plant.
