Challenges in Substation Design
The substation design presented a unique challenge as the addition to the low side had separate power purchasers, while the delivery to the POI was through a shared transformer and five-mile transmission line. In addition, the wind farm had to operate as a single entity in terms of meeting voltage schedule of the transmission owner at the POI while also having the functionality of handling separate active power curtailment set-points from the independent system operator.
