Jemena

Solar/BESS for Multiple Jemena Sites (0.2MVA-1.5MVA)

Solar BESS Design and Grid App

Grid Approval Management and Detailed design 'for construction' and ‘as built’ for multiple Solar and BESS sites, 200kVA-1.5MVA.

Key Achievements:

  • Grid Connection Approval Management for Jemena at multiple solar PV and BESS systems up to 1.5MVa
  • Completing all required studies as required for Jemena
  • Working with installer companies to optimise and design multiple commercial solar and BESS systems for construction.
  • Providing technical and optimisation advice to installers.

Impact

Project Scope

  • Detailed Drawing set construction including SLD, layout and schematic.
  • Grid Application including discrimination protection study, protection and control report, commissioning plan, generator data, load and generation profile information.
  • Backstop design to Jemena requirements

Project Details

  • Solar System >200kVA in the Jemena area
  • BESS System of 1MVA

Project Challenges

  • Obtaining sufficient information to conduct the discrimination protection study.
  • Adapting quickly when project details change, for example panel model numbers and ratings.
  • Level of detail required by Jemena, for example disconnection time of diesel automatic transfer switches.
  • Scheduling commissioning of grid protection relay as soon as it is ready
