Description/ Type of work:
6MW Bagasse Power Plant Grid Connection Study which constituted the following activities;
- Review of the grid connection options, and definition of the project single line diagram showing the grid connection options.
- Modeling and integration of the project model into the Kenyan national electricity grid target (base) model. This involves coming up with candidate grid connection options for the bagasse power plant and building a model in PSS/E software.
- Load flow analysis using the model to examine voltage profiles, line thermal loadings and project operation under normal and N-1 contingency conditions with regard to the Kenya electricity Grid Code.
- 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.
- Voltage step/variation and flicker assessment against limits provided by Kenya electricity Grid Code and/or other standards.
- Recommendation of the technically feasible and best interconnection scheme,and if necessary the required network reinforcement to ensure effective interconnection of the plant.
