Leading University
University campus solar farm
Solar Farm
Solar farm specifications, project coordination and grid connection modelling.
Key Achievements:
Having assisted the University through its significant rooftop solar and carport solar roll out, we were engaged to assist with a large scale ground mount solar project.
- Concept design for solar farm through to tender specifications.
- Joined up approach between solar farm and BESS projects.
- Boosting solar production on campus by 100% in addition to rooftop solar fleet.
Impact
- Significant reduction in campus electricity import.
- Reduction in greenhouse emissions footprint.
- Joined up approach between solar farm and BESS projects.
Project Scope
- Concept design of solar farm including layout and electrical.
- Glint and glare assessment.
- Technical specifications of solar farm for tender.
- Technical evaluation of submitted tenders.
- Coordination with BESS project separately managed.
- Ensure technical integration of solar farm and BESS with HV network.
- Electrical integration of entire installation.
- Stakeholder participation among university and multiple consultants.
- Static modelling using PSSE.
Project Details
- 2.6MWp ground mount solar farm in camups grounds.
- 2.2MW BESS.
- HV network behind meter installation.
- Existing rooftop solar.
- <4.9MW connection grid modelling for DNSP.
Project Challenges
- Addition of BESS.
- Vegetation constraints.
- Accounting for existing behind meter solar in grid modelling.
