High-Voltage Solar Grid Integration
The 380/33 kV substation connects 1100 MW of bifacial solar photovoltaic arrays to the central transmission network.
2 power transformers rated at 600 MVA each step up generated solar electricity to 380 kV for delivery via 42 km of overhead circuits.
Grid Support and Reactive Power Regulation
A 200 Mvar dynamic reactive power compensation system stabilizes transmission voltage during high solar ramp rates.
The energized solar substation will supply clean electricity to over 190000 residential homes while abating 1800000 tons of carbon dioxide annually.
