Designing Electrical Systems for completeness

Grid connection is a critical aspect for solar PV plants. For developers it becomes very important to work with engineering consultants, who can extend complete electrical design services and can ensure there is complete optimization to generate power to the grid with minimal losses and failures.

FINEST ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Provide electrical engineering across the entire lifecycle of the project from concept and feasibility through design & engineering and construction to operation and maintenance. Our in-house DC and AC electrical teams are experienced having delivered multi-GW projects globally; supporting developers, lenders, EPC contractors and utilities. We provide services at all levels including DC side, LV side and HV side as well as evacuation to substation.

Grid connection support

Achieving grid connection and grid code compliance is absolutely key in delivering most projects and we have experience in developing and optimizing design of electrical systems to meet technical and quality requirements, enhancing project revenue and reducing risks. Some of our services include:

Feasibility studies
Grid connection application process management
Assessment of grid connection conditions including location, capacity and any potential reinforcements that may be required
Review of grid connection agreements and designs including any associated transmission/distribution system reinforcements proposed by connection utilities
Assessment of benefits and risks of contestable and non-contestable connections
Management of utility activities associated with grid connections e.g. wayleaves, planning applications, reinforcement works

Electrical Design and System Specification

Large projects require a consistent technical documentation structure, organized from the environmental and system specifications down to the detailed design reports and drawings. Some of the services that we offer include:

Concept system design and layout
Basic engineering of electrical systems
Electrical system specification and main electrical component specification
Preparation and review of detailed electrical system design and drawings

Electrical equipment

We undertake assessments of quality and performance of all types of electrical equipment against project bespoke requirements, including:

Combiner Boxes
Inverters
Transformers
Switchgear
Cables
Substation equipment
Transmission lines

Power Quality Monitoring

The measurement and analysis of current and voltage performance over periods of time is important as this can provide evidence of compliance to grid connection conditions or assessment of potential issues such as harmonic distortion, voltage instability etc. Additional electrical capabilities include:

SCADA and communication design and specification
Electrical loss assessment and analysis
System studies for renewable energy penetration into the electrical networks
System studies for off grid electrical systems
