Dummuies Wind Farm

Project Title:  

Electrical balance of plant

Energy Type:  

Onshore Wind

Client:  

RJ Mcleod for ECO2

Location:  

Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, UK

Project Size:  

7 x 1.7 MW Turbines

Project Scope:  

Design Work & Project Management of the electrical infrastructure works:

  • LV/MV WTG Transformers
  • MV Cable Installation & Termination
  • On Site Substation /Control Building Electrical Systems
  • Earthing System
  • 33kV turbine switchgear
  • Scada Cable Installation & Termination
  • Testing & Commissioning of the Econnect supplied equipment
Econnect undertook the design, supply and construction of the Electrical works for Dummuies windfarm including provision of our Hybrid Static Compensation Package.

Key Achievements:  

The provision of the Hybrid Statcom equipment to allow Grid Code Compliance. This equipment allowed this previously unviable project to go ahead as the turbines  themselves were unable to operate between the voltage guidelines required in the Grid Code. The static compensation equipment allows voltage control of the wind farm and thus meet the requirements of the Grid Code.

Completion Date:   April 2007
