Commonwealth Solar PV Collector Design Services
American Energy, Inc.
American Energy, Inc. needed a solar generator collector design to support a client in their Facilities Addition Study application. Commonwealth provided conceptual engineering drawings to support the Facilities Addition Study application. The conceptual engineering drawings included a transmission concept design and a substation concept design. The design incorporated two separate transmission circuits and two step-up transformers for two separate solar generator collector systems.
Services Delivered
Commonwealth provided a range of specialized engineering services to meet project needs. Our work included collaboration between transmission, substation physical, and substation protection teams to ensure all project specifications and details were clearly defined. Key deliverables included:
- Transmission plan and profile drawings
- Transmission structure framing designs
- Conductor line loss and ampacity calculations
- Fault current analysis
Related Expertise
More project deliverables provided were substation one-line and three-line drawings, substation elevations and plan view drawings, switching diagrams, and a quality high voltage protection scheme. Commonwealth overcame challenges by connecting two transmission lines to two separate solar generator collector systems - including:
- Substation one-line and three-line diagrams
- Elevation and plan view drawings
- Switching diagrams
- High-voltage protection schemes
The power of partnership.
Commonwealth made recommendations on how the design can be improved to provide additional reliability for a small incremental cost. This solar generator collector design provided a robust and affordable solution for American Energy, Inc.’s client.
